Judaism AMA

My back story. Both my parents were raised Orthodox. My two brothers and I were raised in a conservative synagogue. We raised our son in a reform synagogue. Doesn't make me any less Jewish than anyone else. One more thing. My maternal great grandfather was 1 of the 7 founders of the first Orthodox synagogue in Seattle.
 
lol.....too funny

Obviously this isn't about judaism... Lots of use of the word faith..... Which you claim isn't involved.
A person is born Jewish because they are born of a Jewish mother who’s born of a Jewish mother and so on.
You may never hear any word of religion or G-d and still you are Jewish like many of the Russian Jews in the Soviet Union or the Germany Jews who thought they were Germans not Jews, they were Jewish enough to be killed for it, to be discriminated against, or whatever.
I realize that it’s hard for many Christians to get their mind around that. Kurds, Druse and Hindus seem to understand that easier, but they are also a from birth group/religion

Judaism is a religion. Religions involve faith and belief. Whether it's the same as other religions isn't something I'm disputing. Whether actual jews participate in their faith isn't something I'm disputing.

I'm not a christian. Faith and belief are a part of every religion.

Judaism is best understood as an ethnicity. It's an ethnicity that happens to have its own religion--a religion which unfortunately was used by the Christians and the Muslims to base their cults on, which leads a lot of people to assume they can apply what they know about religion from Christianity and Islam to make claims about Judaism, instead of just listening to Jews.

There are also matriarchal blood lines, DNA that connects Jews to other Jews throughout the world and throughout time, at least the past few thousand years.

You're a culturally-Christian atheist. Your only experience with religion is Christianity. You assume that Judaism works like Christianity, but you're speaking out of ignorance.

You're denying that Judaism is a religion. That has nothing to so with christianity All religions, regardless of what they are, have certain characteristics of religion, which again, isn't specific or related to any one religion.

words have definitions.

Yes. And? Still a religion. πŸ‘
 
lololol.

jumping jehova, you're a fucking cunt.
You admit yourself that you are, "Cold and ugly." @BrightShinyGirl is not the negative word you said. Are you a liberal? What are you doing? Why are you so miserable?

Seriously, this is making me so sad with humanity. We have three open antisemites, I am pretty sure all 3 are liberal. The pubs have the skinheads / Neo-Nazis. Where do we fit in? I am seriously getting so sad.
 
why are your people like that?

Israeli soldiers β€˜ordered’ to shoot at unarmed Gaza aid seekers: Report


The Israeli news outlet
, Haaretz, reports that soldiers operating near food aid sites in Gaza have deliberately fired upon Palestinians.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025...d-to-shoot-at-unarmed-gaza-aid-seekers-report
Qatar funds both Hamas and Aljazeera, so I wouldn't give much credence to anything Aljazeera reports about Israel. The article you linked to claims that the story was broken by Haaretz, but there's nothing about it on the Haaretz website.

you just won't admit what your eyes see. that not very jew of you.

And not all religions are faith-based. The fact that "faith" is commonly used as a synonym for religion in Christian countries doesn't mean that all religions are faith-based.

If you're hung up on the word "religion" think of it this way: Judaism is an ethnicity with strong ancient traditions. These traditions aren't faith-based. They're just things we've done for centuries and want to keep doing.

You are on a Judaism AMA thread, you are the one who doesn't belong with hate. The premise of the thread was BSG saying, "Ask me about Judaism." You are not doing any of that, you are merely saying hateful things.

You didn't answer what political affiliation you are.
You are not addressing anything with facts, that means you have nothing remaining but hate. Thank you for confirming your lack of facts and reason.

Lol ..circular

I have no idea of your aversion to the word faith. It certainly seems like you have a particular dislike of christianity.

I want the people of Gaza to be free of Hamas. For too long they've been used as a catspaw to attack Israel. The recent claims by propagandists that the IDF is shooting people coming to Israel's aid stations are a transparent attempt to keep hungry people from getting aid in a war zone. Shame on you for repeating them.
