The word “ OCCUPIED ” you used, how come. Is it the same meaning as rob or steal, taken by force without permission, or consent?
Here's the meaning of occupied.
1: to engage the attention or energies of2 a: to take up (a place or extent in space) <this chair is occupied> <the fireplace will occupy this corner of the room> b: to take or fill (an extent in time) <the hobby occupies all of my free time>3 a: to take or hold possession or control of <enemy troops occupied the ridge> b: to fill or perform the functions of (an office or position)4: to reside in as an owner or tenant
You referred to some films, Biblical stories . If that is so, I also have seen some films as well which portrayed Jews as slaves. They belonged to the slave race working for the Egyptians that time.
With a promise to be freed , the Israelites had to build the Pyramid . After it was done the slaves were freed. In the Ten Commandments “ starred Charlton Heston as Moses, He made Egyptian Pharaoh Ramsay free the Jews. They roamed the desert and at one point, they pointed and say that was the promised land . What I am not sure is how many times Jews were made slaves, how many times they were freed. Who’s slaves are they now? I am ignorant on these , Moses went up to Mount Sinai. After spending days, he came down with two slaps of clay which were said to be written by so called God said to be His commandments. Which you already know what they are. Who actually give the Jews this land which is now called Israel together with protection. Is that the promised land and who is their protector? I would like to know, please if you don’t mind me asking silly questions.
Here is my answer to your questions. Remember, to me there is no such thing as "silly" questions. Question is a question. It is good and wise to ask questions if you don't know or want to understand. That's how I gain my knowledge by asking questions to people who knows. I am NOT reluctant or shy to ask questions if I want to know or to understand. Yes Jews have come a long way of bondage and sufferings (slaves). Remember, Jews are not only the "chosen" race but also the "condemed" or "punished" race by GOD. In other words they are blessed as well as punished. That's why up to this date they cannot live in peace. As for the promised land, Israel is the promished land and God create "conditions" to create a place for the Jews which is now called Israel. Ofcourse the western powers assisted to make that happened but in my view the western powers are just "tools" used by God to make this happened.
Winners or losers I don’t know, may be I have been misinformed, to believe Arabs are the wealthiest in the whole wide world sitting on black liquid gold. They don’t want war, either. Egypt , Syria and Jordon were trying to teach Jews ( Israel) to behave if they want to live among them.
Yes, according to present day situations Arabs are the weathiest because of OIL. But to my knowledge wealth alone does not make a nation powerful. There are many factors involved for a nation to become truly super powerful. For example, technology, engineering, the education of the people, the awarness of being thoughtful in solving problems, the military factor, the sound and peacefulness of political atmosphere, the creative and productive, innovative factor, the importance of strategic ideas, ways and methods and so on. These combination of sound factors contribute a nation and the people to become truly a super power status.
Jews are cursed, condemned people. They are stuck with their old stories. Another way of calling them is “ they are chosen people ” to live in hell on earth since history of the world was recorded.
Let me make the story short again. I m not interested in wars, I do not like warmongers either. I am one of the an-ti war people .
Do you know Jews won’t be able to sleep at night peacefully? They are living dead they don’t have enough sleep, in their life, they are living nervously, paranoid. That’s the way I see them, I may be wrong.
No, you may be right for like I said the Jews are both "chosen" and "punished" race. They are punished because they reject Jesus as their saviour or Messiah and also in the old days (Moses time) they disobey God and even make statues and worshipped Cows or animals etc.
No one is responsible for anyone, everyone has his/her own responsibility to him/herself. They reap what they sowed, is that it? Kammas, deeds, merits whatever one calls it. You have your ways of putting things, I have my ways as well.
My last two question to you if you don’t mind. First, do you think and believe, whatever is written in the so called HOLY BIBLE , should it still exits, the so called Old Testament and new Testament? Who wrote that Holy Bible, when did he/she write it?
Answer to the first question is...................In modern times and era, it looks outdated but in a way it is STILL relevant in many ways. It depends how you interpret and how you look at it at different angle. Remember, from one angle it might looks blurr but if you move to a another angle that same object looks clearer. So my point is change the angle and look at it from a different angle and you will find a dfferent view or answer.
For the second question.............................The Saints, Prophets and highly qualified persons that deals directly with God in spiritual manner wrote in the Bible. It is called "Books". The Book of Luke, John and so on. Just as we had writers in this forum there are many writers in the Bible. Remember, God did not write NOTHING in the Bible. It is his messages or words that was written by the authors or writers who wrote the Bible. Jesus also did not write nothing in the Bible but his teachings, words or statements are written by the authors so naturally don't be surprise if there are deviations in the messages not to mention the translation errors that can occur for the Bible is translated into many languages including Burmese. By the way Rev. Judson did an AMAZING job of translation for the very top notch high flown Burmese writers themselves are amazed at the usage of Burmese language, words and the way he translate. I sincerely and honestly believe the holy spirit inspire upon Rev. Judson (a foreigner) and help his translate into Brilliant Burmese Style. If you read the Burmese version of the Bible, he did not use "Jesus" for "Jesus" is the English version in fact he uses the Hebrew version or the original version and wrote " Yea-Shu " ( Hebrew version ) and as I watch my own DVD "The Passion of the Christ" today at home I found out in Hebrew language and the movie was spoken in Hebrew (original) with English caption.
Holy Bible , translated into BURMESE language was done by Mr. Judson who was happened to be in Burma with the Christian mission.
550 or 547 stories which were supposed to be the lives and the deads of Gautama Buddha were written by Nyaung Gan Aye Saya Daw, one of the most learned Buddhist Monks. after careful research of Buddhist scriptures which were written in Thekata language . I understand that before it was translated, the stories of Buddha and his lives were already spread all over the world in Thekata language. That makes me understand how the Buddha’s Statues happened to be in Afghnistan mountain.
Second, where did you learn all these you were telling me about Jews, and Gentiles? Self enlightened? Have you read some books or documents?
You believe them without questions, other wise you won’t be telling me. All these. These stories how old are they? Fictions, made to believe, legends tall stories , what are they and where did they come from? There you are ZY.
Lastly the UFO that you were about to tell me next, I don’t want to know . Because the only UFO I know is UFO. That is enough.
Have a good day,
Thunderbolts.
One last thing I want to share what MY mother teaches me. She said "Son, the knowledge in your brain is the safest and most valueble asset you can have for no one can steal the knowledge you had in your brain. Your house, money, car, wealth etc can be taken away or be stolen but not your brain as long as you live". I thank my mother for her wise advice to this day.

Mr. thunderbolts,
I know you don't want to hear or know about UFO but you want to know or understand who/what is GOD.? To explain the meaning of God one must convince people that God exist with "tangible proof" or at least with "sound reasoning" or "convincing logic" because explaining a "being" that truly does not exist doesn't make any sense at all. Remember I mention the reason I bring up UFO is that it is relevant to the existence of God. As you are not interested in UFO, I will reveal only the icing and not the cake concerning with UFO. Fair enough?
As I am dwelling in United States of America, I start with this country's happenings to be more logical. Many decades ago, a time when I was still residing in Burma there were shocking news of UFO crash in America. By the way do you ever think why UFO crash in USA and not Kenya or Afghanistan or any other place in the entire world? Because the Aliens, superior beings know that USA has the most advance technology on this planet to check it out. Many accept the reality/notion that Aliens from Outer Space are far more superior "being" than the earthlings (humans) on earth. At that time that news was quickly turn into a weather balloon burst or something and the US Government or US military set aside this happenings as a fictitious or even an event that never had happened or take place because they do not want the public to be alarm or panic or scare. Now, after generation after generation people are more informed, more advanced, more educated and more mature, the findings of UFO came out more open and even USAF (US Air Force) Fighter pilots themselves speak out!
You may think Aliens are fictitious or fairytale stories. Here's the point. In the entire world there is, not hundreds but tens of thousands of UFO sightings and yet yes yet not one single solid tangible absolute proven one, not one. Why? Did you ever think deeply about it?
Here's my logic or angle of presentation. If the fastest jet on earth cannot even reach close or even follow to a UFO who or where on earth can they (Aliens) be detected and studied? How? We all know our earth gravitational pull slows down many objects and giant booster rockets had to be use to lift our spacecraft into space. right? this is not fictitious, agreed? Our brilliant scientists know and understand the earth's gravity. true? But do we at this stage of advancement understand Anti-Gravity forces? Anti-matter and anti-gravity forces are still in the "research" stage and we do not fully master it or had the techology nor unlock the secrets of this dynamic force. Not yet. Just because we don't understand fully, completely or absolutely, we shouldn't judge the ending that it does not exist. Reasonable? Just because we don't know what is out there we decide there is nothing out there except us (humans). We are alone in the universe, or are we?
Let me put a profound evidence of Professor Einstein's achievement to father modern science. Did you know he was actually a post office clerk (not the manager) once? Did you know it all started because he ask HIMSELF "silly" (your usage) questions like can the ray of light can be bend? or if he was the light and travelling at the speed of light what will happened to a human or him or the time for speed is related to time, isn't it? Silly huh? for you maybe but NOT to Albert Einstein. He take it seriously, think deeply and explore the possibilites for many years. Exploring the unknown is his hobby. Understanding or knowing the limitless possibilities is his agenda. Unlocking the code or secret or the truth is his goal/aim.
Well, will stop for now for I do not want to make you and the readers bored.
So long Pal.

ZynnYaw,
Frankl;y speaking , I am a Buddhist. I am still trying to learn Budhism and the real meaning of it, To help myself and to be able to help others how to live in this world.
Sorry to say that I don't believe in so called GOD, I don't even regard Buddha as God. HE never claimed to be GOD or he was son of GOD either. I have no dispect of other religion or GOds. Sorry again I have to use plural in God.
Buddha talked about three worlds, talk about suffering, and cessessation of suffering as four noble truth, how to do thing in right ways in eight fold path, and how to behave among others , in the society,through 38 Mingalas. A a lay person that's all I need to know, i.e, the dos and don'ts. That is more then enough for me as a lay man. If we digeset these first then we can be called good Buddhists.
Being Buddhist doesn't mean allowing others to sit on their heades let alone mto shit on them. Do you understand that?
For many other, who thinks they higher then lay people they have a lot to do, they have their parts to perform. If they think they are specials, then they have to do special things to deserve to be specials. Again, they have to realised the realiities and accept them, they have to do it them in the right ways or correct them, update them , and they have their dos and don'ts more then the lay persons have.
These are my very simple understanding as a very simple lay man on Buddhism and I am trying to be a good Buddhist in my own way like anyother believers in other faith would say for themselves.
I don't want to, I don't intend to fly in the air like a bird or a plane, or like a rocketman, what you said as a UFO. I am not living in fantacy world, not breathing in drean world nor am I in the world of make believe. I am living in the real world with the realities aroundme, I try to see them as they are.
The concern of real world are my concern, and everybody's concern.
Yes I asked you the question about GOD, not because I want to know, just because I wanted to see what your view would be.
I don't want to know where the eggs came from, I know the eggs are here. If I ask you about the egg and the chicken problem, you might say they are created by GOD or something else. What I am seeing in my life time is, if men cannot find the answers to the problems , they use GOd as a name to praise or to put the blame on.
You are here, I am here, we know who our parents are. That is all it matters.
If this so called GOD is the murderer, if this so called GOD is the tyrant, if this so called God is the destroyer, if this so called God wants to be the one and only, if this so called God does not allow other to be other God of thneir own, why do we need this so called jealous God?
Even though I told you that I don't want to know about UFO, you are still preparing and ready to tell us about it, not necessariloy telling me.
I cannot stop you and I won't stop you. but just don't address to me.
In my view and in my opinion, Myanmar's issues and matters today are much more important then the so called GOD. We need discussions on the issues and on the matters , we need to find out ways and means to solve these, to assist Myanmar. We don't need any discussion about GOD or UFOs. They won't help us a thing.
You may think I started it, no ZY I did not, I was replying to one UKMyaing who said to be living in the United States. As usuall like his master, he thinks and wants to lecture me or us on Budhism. He may want to use Budhism, he may want o hide behind Buddhism I don't know, that's his problem. I do not know where he is now, he just disappeared, his website is still on as AungZey, he never reply my email to him either.
There are enough religious fanatics in the world, we don't need no more. There are more then enough fake and bogus so called Buddhist Monks in Buddhist circle.
Killing a fake or bogus Buddhist monk is nothing more grave then killing a dog or a cat. We have to be very careful not only in the Buddhist society but also in anyother religious societies. Using religion as a weapon shouild not be permitted by the respective religious society. Any religion must be kept as clean as can be.
If I don't discuss about religion or about Gods in future, you would not mind would you? But most of the time I may be reffering to Buddha, and his teachings, if he ever exitd or not as you have said. Whether he existed or not doesnot matter to me mush, but the soc alled hius teachings which I bwelieve are right teaching , I will follow his teachings.
In this 21st century, men posses knowledge to know how old this planet or this world is . They may also know Buddha existed or not, Jesus exited or not, Mohammed existed or not, to answer your questions. His birth place, his death place, whatever associated with him are said to be still there in Veranasi in Nothern Indian State of Bihar.
These are already on record, accepted as they are. Of cause they may need to be updated with or through new found evidences.
The world is still under investigation, how it started what or who created it, that sort of things. We all are subject to be investigated.
It is said when men's life span comes to 80,000 ( eighty thousand ) years, there will be another Buddha called Arimittaya. Believe it or not is up to you. Because I won't be here at that time.
The deads(Zombies) won't come out from the cave like Lazerous did.
Thank you,
Thunderbolts.
