What Judaism Means to Me

Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

What is hateful unto you do not do unto others. When and if I can master that I will work on the Golden Rule.

What I have loved about every post you have written in this thread, is just how very candid you are about yourself. I have often thought that we all are truly agnostics.
That the "believer" is simply lying to say He KNOWS there is God and that the atheist is simply lying to say He KNOWS there is no God. So to me, though I do believe, I appreciate the honesty of the agnostic.

And I see you honest. Attracted to faith, but finding glitches and not sweeping them under the carpet to make a comfortable belief system by ignoring, by "ignorance"...

And here too, you are being honest about your limits with the "neighbor rule"...
Very refreshing you are.

Hey, did any of you notice that DavidHenry and Jenifer Johnson like to talk smack about us in their forum about how many "points" they've scored here, but won't actually address any points to me themselves?

FANTASIC WORK JENIFER JOHNSON, your potent truths and questions placed these Jews under such pressure, they felt the need to psychologically fight back....unfortunately, it's game, set and match to JJ, Davo and ISforum, LOL.
What game? I haven't seen any game from either of you. Your mutual mental masturbation doesn't count as "game" to anyone but you.

Who would not expect DH and JJ to slam this forum? They know they are so wrong-headed it's pitiful. Ridiculous is as ridiculous does (although we know that Forrest Gump said it another way).

BTW, welcome to DTT. Glad to have you aboard.

Yep, read it and got a good chuckle from it...It always amazes me how when some people can't prove/defend their stances, they have to go about posting how they 'won' when their errors are pointed out to them...

Hate to say this...But what DH posted is typical posting response of an internet troll in the first place.

What Judaism means to me:

I have a lot of Jewish friends – and they are some of the most intelligent and loyal people I have come across. Furthermore: one of these Jewish friends of mine – whose integrity is unequaled – even saved my life. Being that I am not Jewish and don’t know much about their religious practices (except for what I’ve learned in school) – I can’t honestly tell you if I agree or disagree with what the Torah says (I do know that the Old Testament of the Bible is generally accepted by the Jewish religion). However, what I hate is hate itself (anti-Semitism especially), so I will always fight for my friends – those who cannot or simply will not defend themselves from vicious bullies (those who get sheer pleasure out of stereotyping and humiliating others because of their race, color or creed).
I hate hatred. To be quite honest with you – what Judaism means to me is that there will always be peace and love in a world filled with ignorance, stupidity, arrogance, and power-hungry shitheads.
Lastly – I will conclude by saying that I do in fact believe in Heaven after death. However, if none of my Jewish friends are welcome there, then I will gladly and cheerfully burn in hell for eternity.
Thanks, and good day.

ps - Welcome to the forum, Segep! I hope that your experience here is an enjoyable one. . .

I have a special place in my heart for the Jews, and especialy for Israel. "Blessed is he who blesses Israel, and cursed is he who curses Israel." And anyone living in America can testify to that fact, as we have been there strongest defender, and there for, the strongest, and by far the most blessed nation. From what I gather though, they dont really believe in heaven or hell. If thats so, whats the the billion rules they have to follow?

excerpt from Grace.

Grace, to clarify...do you believe that rules being followed or not determine one's eternal destiny?
