    Is being Jewish a matter of genetics or faith? Is it a race/culture or a religion?

    I never really could figure that out. At times, I have been critical of the gov't of Israel and been called, "anti-semetic," as if I was some kind of "joo-hater." I come from a place where government is separate from religion. I never understood the co-relation between the two.

    Nobody knows.

    It is apparently whatever they choose it to be, at any given moment.

    Sometimes all at once...

    Oh come on, you MUST know this.

    Alternative plus sign



    A Jewish tradition that dates from at least the 19th century is to write plus using a symbol like an inverted T.

    This practice was adopted into Israeli schools this practice goes back to at least the 1940s and is still commonplace today in elementary schools (including secular schools) but in fewer secondary schools. It is also used occasionally in books by religious authors, but most books for adults use the international symbol "+". The usual explanation for this practice is that it avoids the writing of a symbol "+" that looks like a Christian cross. Unicode has this symbol at position U+FB29 "Hebrew letter alternative plus sign" (﬩).

    See?

    Cannot even bring themselves to write it.

    Then if they did that, there would be no material state of Israel, since it IS forbidden.

    That is pretty funny. :)

    Not this again.

    I schooled you on this before.

    It's both, genetics and faith.

    No you did not.

    True Torah Jews probably know better than a Christian Zionist, I would have thought.

    Clearly not the latter, who wrote Der Judenstatt?

    An atheist Jew.

    Most Zionist Jews are atheists.

    Right. Water is dry and the sun is cold. Tell me who Jesus is.

    So you think Jesus went around calling himself a Christian, yes?

    Well, that would be consistent with the administration's policy of ignoring phone calls coming out of the Middle East...

    How am I meant to know?

    I don't know.

    No one knows for sure.

    No one at all.

    Some claim they do, but it is just their claim.

    Hmm.. So for whom didn't know the truth about Isrealis, my reply is for you, read it carefully. Israelis are encouraging Benjamin Netanyahu for leading in the next presidential elections which are coming soon. Utterly, Obama will not bombard Israel, but I am upset about one thing, will Bibi and Obama have a quarrel between them?

    I'm no expert, but "christianity" wasn't even invented until 300 years after Jesus had already passed. How could he be "christian?"

    I ask simply because I really do not know.

    Answer - he couldn't.

    Which was the point.

    During his lifetime, Jesus was Jewish. There was no such thing as Christian. Even now, even if you believe that he was ressurected, he is not Christian. Christian means "little Christ", and he is the big Christ.

    Some people think Jesus's last name was Christ. Too funny.
