CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I think that depends on what part of the world u'r in. If you go to Israel, I think u'll find the Jews there are more orthodox than the average Jewish person in the USA. Many reform Jews are very liberal.

Yeah, there is a lot of variation. I knew a Reformed Jewish girl in college who was as liberal as they come. On the other hand, the town over from me is home to many Hasidic Jews, who I see around town with yamakas (sp?) and all the men wear black pants, a white shirt, and a white vest, and they usually let their sideburns grow into curls. I'd bet all of my money that they are very orthodox and scriptural literalists!!

There have been various sects of Judaism with many different beliefs since before the time of Jesus. As we see in scripture, the Sadducees denied the idea of a resurrection. Essenes believed in 2 messiahs instead of one. Nothing new under the sun
