Well tell me, what is the Jewish religion about then?
PostPosted: Sun Aug 17, 2008 8:43 am


Well what do you want to know? Judaism is assumed to be the first montheistic religion, meaning they belive in one god/godess. They belive god created the universe and he is the higer power. They dont belive jesus was the messiah. It's pretty much christianity because christianity was majorly influenced by Judaism. They have the same 10 comandments but they call them "torah" and mosses brought them from mount saini. The major difference is Boys and girls have to do a ceremoney to reach adulthood..bar mitzvah(boy) and bat mitzvah(girl) Which they read a part of the "torah" also then name for there "bible".

The 10 commandments is not the Torah, the first Testament is the Torah. Basically, the old Testament is the Torah and in the Bible, while the new testament is only the Bible.
Judaism is not christainity in any way. There are the holidays, like Passover and Rosh Hashanah. There are major events that Christainity never heard of.

This is why I told you to read more and actually read a book and not what you just see or hear from people or tv.
Try those two webpages and try again.

There's basis because Jesus was Jewish, but Christainity is completely different from what Judiasm is today. I give up. If you think Google is great, go for it. But it only works if you know what exactly you are looking for, and you probably don't. I'm sorry If you are misguided in religion, but if you want to learn that way, I hope one day you don't horribleily offend someone to where they might hurt you.
Like Satanism, if you truly don't know what that is, you might truly offend someone who practices it, because it's not worshipping the Devil. It's something else all together, but if you don't know that, there can be problems. If you truly don't know Paganism, you might offend that group too because you googled it and didn't talk to someone of that religion and listened to them.
I am Jewish. And you aren't listening to me and you are offending me because you are calling Judiasm similiar to Christainity when it is not. Maybe it was in the past when Christainity first started, but today they are no where close. Look for history, facts, not just what you see in a paragraph on google.
True defination is linked to Abraham and not Jesus for one. Also the kosher aspect of it. Christains eat cheese and meat together, including Catholics, Orthodox Jews do not. Do you even know the difference between Orthodox, Reform and Conservative?
Before you start a subject, actually know what you are talking about, not what you think you know.

I know it would be pointless to argue with you about it because no matter what I say your mind will never be changed. So dont worry about it, I know more then you expect me to know :3

Well if you actually told me more information about The Jewish religion, I would believe, considering I'm jewish and would know if it was right or not. But you gave me nothing. So that tells me you really don't know if you hadn't said but a few things right. There is so much more to it then you really do know.

From your Point-of-view it mean's alot, you probly based your life on it. But I know the fact's about it, other then that I could careless Judaism. It's nothing personal, It's just the way I am.

Sooo, to make things simple...

You, Judaism is the religion.

Me, Judaism is just another religion.

Are you Religious?

Nope. Atheist here.

Why?

I believe in things I can see, touch, feel, smell, etc. I can't hold faith to something that's not concrete. It just doesn't work for me. Those who can, I respect in a way, because it's gotta be tough... I think religion is a good thing, personally, if it helps people. It gets bad when the people preaching love and peace decide to kill, slander, or just generally bash different people (homosexuals, people of different races/origins, nonbelievers in that religion, etc.). Religion is a personal thing, in my opinion, not law. A book does not give you a right to hurt others because they are different. To me no one religion is right and no one religion is wrong.

Do you think overly religious people are annoying?


Yes and no. If they just want to talk about their religion and share what the y believe. That's fine and it's more than welcome. I'm interested in different religions and their histories. When they start hurting people "In The Name of " or shoving it down peoples throats and basically disrespecting people's beliefs then... that's when they piss me off.

Do you like to eat pizza >:3

Yes. >.> I love me some pizza!

Are you Religious?
Yes. Well, in the loose sense of the term "religious."
Why?
I dunno. I started out as a Lutheran by force, then turned atheist by choice, then I started having dreams and something in the back of my head gave me this story that I feel I need to believe. It's not an organized religion, but it's somewhat close to Luciferianism (emphasis on the "somewhat"), except without magic and Jesus....
I'm probably just schizo though. xD Meh. Whatever. I rarely talk about it.
Do you think overly religious people are annoying?
YES. Especially when I mention that I believe God is the real bringer evil in the world. They get mad.

Depends on the pizza. Frozen "cardboard" pizza? ew. No.
Yummy, cheese-oozing pizza? Oh, heck yes. :3
