God said so
No, you say God said so. And they say God (the same one, amusingly) said otherwise.
Given the total lack of evidence for the existence of god at all, I say you're both making shit up.
This is failure with a nice big cherry on top - "Godsaidso" is no more a valid reason than "Goddidit". But, being Jewish, I have something else to say about this.
A better case would be that it was our Temple Mount, and the Muslims stole it. That's still a case rooted in the Old Testament and ancient history, and building the Jewish Temple again would cause much more problems than it would be worth, namely:
1. Old Testament laws that haven't been applied for nearly 2,000 years would come back - do all Jews have to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem 3 times a year? Are animal sacrifices necessary? Should only the people named "Levy" and "Cohen" be allowed to become priests in the temple?
2. How many suicide bombers per day would a Jewish House of Holiness (the translation of what it's called in Hebrew) get?
3.How much would the building cost if it was the same as the original?
Despite all this, most Jews would love to see it rebuilt, but admit it's not nice, practical, or good in the eyes of God("Lo-tikom v'lo-titor et-b'nai amecha v'ahavta raacha" -Leviticus 19:18 and all that) to tear down someone else's mosque. This is why no one but the most radical, deluded fundies (Jewish and Christian) wants to do it.
Your.
God.
Is.
Their.
God.
Your God and their God just so happens to be the same dude, Lizzie dear, and I bet out there somewhere there is a senile camel wandering through the desert who has better English literacy skills than you do.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
