These must not be real Jews, for aren't they worshipping synagogues rather than G'd? They are called "synogogue worshppers" after all. link |

No... They're good 👍
I understand that people worshipping at a synagogue are Jews by definition.

(Same goes for victims attending Christian services.)

Why are you so hell-bent on defending Clinton and Obama? Two of the most vile people in politics.

Why are you so hell-bent on defending Clinton and Obama? Two of the most vile people in politics. I am not. If anybody is hellbent it is people like yourself that attack them whether or not there is any justifiable grounds to do so, I defend anybody who is unjustly attacked. I did not vote for either of them. I have defended President Trump as well when I thought criticisms of him were unjust.
But I find this attack upon what appears to be sincere condolences to be vile. Attempting to use a tragedy to score political points is a shameful thing to do, and Ben Shapiro should be ashamed of doing this, as should those who agree with him such as the other guy in the video you posted....and yourself. It is also the height of hypocrisy as Trump's condolences also did not use the word "Christians"...which shows that the argument comes from vicious under-handed partisan politics rather than from anything noble such as defending a religion and its people.
There are far more vile people in politics than Hillary or Obama even coming from the viewpoint that they have failings...that is if one objectively assesses them. Politicians proven to have accepted bribes, cheated on their marriage partners, even murdered people are the ones that are really vile, not those who hold views you do not agree with.

I hear a lot about fake Jews. Trump hates them.

Judaism is not like Christianity. It's a closed religion. They have every right to keep out nonmembers. There are sects of Christianity that claim the same right. But this is a change in topic.

Oh come on now, old man. A thread about this? Or am I misunderstanding? Maybe the problem is with me.  In journalism they use as few words as possible for headlines. That's why it says "synagogue worshippers" instead of "worshippers in synagogue." |

Actually my reason in posting this was of course to point out that there was nothing wrong in condensing to the term "synagogue worshippers" as a form of using fewer words....with tongue firmly in cheek. That was one of my points with "Easter worshippers" in a different thread.

It seems like you're saying that if Jews won't let anyone in their temple, they are being non-Jewish or not showing Jewish compassion, and are worshipers of the building itself and not god.  My point really had nothing to do with "closed" religions that restrict who can or cannot worship with them. You introduced this into the conversation, which is why I indicated it was off-topic.
I also was not saying I think these people were worshipping synagogues rather than within in them. I was attempting to point out the hypocrisy of those who have claimed Obama and Hillary were saying people were worshpping Easter, rather than on Easter. The term "easter worshippers" and the term "synagogue worshippers" simply are about worshippers that are Christian and Jewish respectively.

You should have been more clear. I'm quite sure both Obama and Clinton are atheists who must hide that fact or their political careers would have been hurt. But if they said Christians worship Easter that's just silly. A better analogy would be Jews worshiping Passover. "Worshiping a synagogue" sounds like sarcasm about Jewish materialism. What makes you think Obama and Clinton are atheists? I'll concede they're not particularly religious, but that's about it. I'm pretty sure Bernie Sanders is a closeted atheist though (I don't think he came from a religious background).

In politics the black church is important and they were an important base for him. So as a politician he couldn't say he was an atheist. Most educated liberal people are atheists. I may be wrong, but if I had to guess I'd say they're both most likely atheists or agnostics, not faithful Christians. Obama was an atheist in college? If that's true then admittingly he might be a closeted atheist (it's far common for people to turn from religion to atheism then the other way around)

If this remark is made in earnest then the answer must be that they were surely working as part of God's plan, since without the forced demise of JC he would not have had the opportunity to allegedly die for our sins.

If a person identifies as a Jew it is bigotry to say they are not.
