Thanks. Judaism is akin to in nature or is the same "type" of religion as Japanese Shintoism or ancient Greek paganism. It is intrinsically tied to one ethnic and genealogical group and more concerned with the insular affairs of a people and is not about universal promotion and conversion of foreigners. They're not out to save the world, unlike Christians or even Buddhists. Yes, & it's also akin in nature to Chinese Confucianism, in that there is no distinction between religious or secular. Hinduism is another religion which it may be comparable to. You're right. Chinese Confucianism is another one though it had great influence in Japan and Korea as well. But it's more a philosophy than a religion. Yes, Hinduism is another one to extent. But there are some very aggressive proselytizing Hindu cults. |

They can also either be philosophies or ethnicities. Yes, there are some proselytizing Hindu cults. ISKCON (aka the Hare Krishnas) is one. Although Jews, as a general rule, do not proselytize, there is one area in which they do. They believe that there are certain Commandments that even Gentiles are supposed to observe. They are called Noahide Laws, so many Jews proselytize for that particular movement. Do you remember a poster from the old message forum called 'DavetheFave?' Although he never said was his religion was, he always debated from the Jewish POV, yet he denied being Jewish. So, he was most definitely a Noahide. |

It would make sense that Jews believe moral law applied to Gentiles as well as Jews. And there would be an implicit understanding that Jewish rules about circumcision and eating shellfish and such would not be universal ethical commands, but only tribal laws which applied to the Hebrews. I recall the name "DavetheFave" but remember little about him. |

I found something interesting when I looked up the Noahide laws. One says Not to eat flesh torn from a living animal. I was taken aback at first and thought it was prohibiting the eating of meat and ordering vegetarianism. But at second look I realized it said not to eat live animals. OMG. I guess that was common back then. Barbaric. |

Here's a short vid about barbarians with diner's club cards who eat live monkey brains. I guess the wisdom of the Torah is eternal. |

are homosexuals allowed to wed on the moon
if the earth were to become
entirely saturated
with the archaic forms of voodoo
still be foisted by
those religiously tooled neanderthals.
would they actually possess
the balls
to proclaim the moon
as their
god ordained gas filled balloon.
thereby
once again restricting homosexuals
from pursuing
a form of happiness
that only
a vacuum of pure godlessness
could
possibly comprehend.
or do we
continue to play pretend
so grandma wont write us
out of her
last will and testament.
sjw 09/13/18 inspired at this very moment in time by mary had a little scam its fleece was white as snow. and everywhere that mary went that scam was sure to go.

It's enough a travesty we have that charade on earth. |

I've been pointing out the truth about gay marriage here and on IMDb for years. It's an attempt to make gay people march onto Noah's ark two by two so we can be drowned in a sea of heterosexist conformity. I'm surprised someone who hates religion as much as you do can't see the obvious. |

Great. And you don't need a license. Rajini and I have been together 8 years. State promulgated monogamy is not the answer for us. And it will do nothing to combat almost ubiquitous homophobia from heterosexuals who are trained from childhood by church-generated nonsense that our love is inferior to theirs. Our liberation was intended to free society from restrictive notions about sex and gender. Our intent was not to be just like them, but to change them. Stop aping them. Get the church and state out of my bedroom. |

That must be a south Indian. If it was a north Indian it would be a woman. In north India Rajini is a name for females. But not so in South.

Tamil. I call him Rajini because it's short for his birth name which has about 30 letters in it! Lol. |

Yep Tamils and other south Indians carry huge names (given name father name and village name usually). I on the contrary do not even have surname. Just the first name Ajay. That's all on my passport. |
