Its funny when both arguing and seeing people argue with Jews online that the Jew will typically accuse their opponent of "seeing a Jew behind every corner" when Jews themselves are the ones that see threats around every corner.

I don't see threats around every corner, especially not in the United States. I've been pretty happy here my whole life and seem to be doing just fine. I don't even worry about you and your brothers and sisters because in the end you're just dogs howling at the moon and will mean even less as time goes on. Most people see the truth for what it is and realize that a bunch of scared people with little hearts and little minds are not anything to worry about. Enjoy your delusion, really. I'm glad you have something to live for and I'm glad I had an opportunity to dig a bit deeper to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Before we part ways LoAmi tell me do you condemn the actions of Jewish doctor Baruch Goldstein and his massacre of 30+ Muslims via gunning them down from behind in cowardly fashion during their prayer worship service?
Killing anybody in such a way is expressly forbidden in Judaism and is the action of a criminal. Had he not died, he should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Also your thoughts on the Jewish ritual "Metzizah B'peh" and the Jew on Jew murder of young Jewish child Leiby Kletzky?

I'm not a fan of that ritual. I don't view it as a necessary component to the circumcision but, in the end, that isn't part of my tradition.

What exactly do you want me to say about a person who murders a child? Anybody who does that should be prosecuted.

Well if you actually mean all that you just said LoAmi perhaps there is a bit of that Bobby Fischer humanity in you after all.

Shalom my new friend. :yum:

Your answer was very different from that of Israeli Jews surrounding these issues.

There are no Jews I know personally that would condone the massacre of men, women, and children by shooting them in the back while they are praying. Is it perhaps possible that you don't know that many Jews or have trusted the wrong people in your understanding of what Jews believe?

Yeah, I think so. He just claimed to be black, didn't he?

No. He just wanted to be cute by suggesting his racially offensive avatar was a "self portrait".

Troll pretending to be a member of the Creativity "religion" or an actual member of that "religion" trolling; either way, reported.

I agree.

That is nothing I would expect of a Jew,even the one's I get into heated arguments with.

Jews are humans and us humans do have bad people among us. Some of them will be found in every religion.

Yep, every group has its share of heroes and jerks. I think all of us here would agree that killing any group of people while they worshiped is wrong. We might go back and forth on when fighting is ok and when it's not, but shooting people in the back while they are worshiping or murdering a child is always wrong.

Not liking the Belief-o-matic.

I used to be 100% Neopagan and now I'm:

100% Secular Humanist
99% UU
80% Liberal Quaker
68% Non-theist
and only 62% Neopagan followed by
61% Liberal Christian Protestant.

That's cutting it way to close.

Yeah they majorly jacked up the paganism dimension. I was expecting 80%+ and got like 50% with Protestantism edging it out. Wat.

I hate gefilte fish. Disgusting stuff. I'd rather drown.

Wow!

The best thing Ashkenazi Jewry ever brought to the dinner table!

For me I'm more into Sephardi food though. But I love Gefilte fish.

I hate the taste of fish. That stuff is like fish to the third power. I'm so happy that I'm not Ashkenazi. Get to have rice over Passover too. ;)

I have a friend whose family ancestry is Finnish and Swedish. Large family gatherings for him inevitably means lutfisk.
