Is your Ethiopian friend a religious jew? So it's not a grey area then. Those people do exist. You were just trying to get out of answering honestly... Are you sure you aren't religious? Well that's up to you. But if those people do exist, regardless what you personally think of the way they identify themselves, by point was correct. I think if you want to have a go at Britain you should move out of the land we so graciously gave to you after the war. You know, just so you don't look like an ungrateful hypocrite.
That must be the reason, the English were calling the Jews terrorists, putting them in prison or killing them while the Jews were blowing up English soldiers. Do you even know anything about history, religion or science or do you like just to post nonsense all the day long and then try to defend it when people point out the stupidity of your posts?
Sarcasm doesn't suite you... Not because it's the lowest form of wit, But because i don't think you understand how it works and any attempt at it produces nothing but incoherent ramblings. Say it again, Like an adult this time.
Does that make them terrorists. I guess some people only pick and chose the groups they attack. I guess thats what happens when people conform to the status quo
I don't understand where you getting at... now you claim that the degree of belief will determine/is determined by physical and genetic characteristics? I wouldn't be surprised to hear this coming from you as well. I repeat, like with any other religion in the world: Those who call themselves "jews" but don't practice or believe in the religion at all, and there are too many like this (also in the christian world) --> are shallow minded clowns. The land was not given out of "grace". The land was given according to a non-signed gentleman agreement between the jewish leadership who fought the turks from within to help the UK gain control of the land. The word "grace" and the work UK, the most vicious colonialist empire in the new era can not fit together in the same sentence. After I rightfully blame the UK for hypocracy, a blame which you do not even try to refute, because you know you can't, you call me a hypocrate. That's again something I would expect from you. I still didn't loose hope. maybe you have anything to say about how a 400 years of abuse and cruelty history fit with the anti-israeli demonstrations in London. We in israel are not going after gold slaves coal or whatever, we are just trying to live securely in our historical small piece of land after 2 thousand years of suffering under the europeans. I think that we deserve that.
Does he practice judaism? Don't bother answering, it's fairly irrelivant and not worth the effort i have to put in trying to get a simple answer out of you. That's not even remotely what i said. what i said is isolationist breeding, like the one YOU said happened in the jewish community, will result in members of that population resembling each other more than they do when compared to people outside of that population. In other words, If a gene pool becomes isolated, either through cultural or environmental reasons, The members of that group will start to share more and more characteristics with each other. Didn't you learn about genetic drift when doing your made up, generic "science degree", or didn't they do biology at the university which exists only in your head? Those christians would claim to believe in the religion though. ethnic or cultural jews can have no ties what-so-ever to the torah and can entirely reject it and it's contents. There are people who would identify themselves as ethnically or culturally jewish who don't accept a single word of the Torah, And admit to it. This is the point, a "jew" doesn't necessarily have to be a follower of "judaism". In fact, some people identify themselves as "jewish" and hold no religious view what so ever. Spinoza, Woody Allen and Einstein being but three of them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheist_Jew You are welcome.... enjoy your new home that we gave you. As you are on the back foot and performing pitifully in this discussion isn't it about time to make another Hitler reference or maybe post a link to an article on nazism?
The Torah is the first five books of the Bible, there is nothing in them that says Jews are permanently exiled from the Holy Land. At least nothing that I remember. It seems that some groups believe that certain things taken out of context can be translated that way, but that doesn't make it any more real than any other item taken out of context.
