yeah so our entire society is molded around Christianity, it permeates our every institution, our every moral judgement, and our every thought... but if you don't believe Jesus died on the cross for the sins of mankind, you aren't Christian.

well that's their right but I don't get it. I'm descended from Europeans, I definitely don't have anything beyond nominal Hebrew-race blood in my veins. I think Yahweh is a fucking clown of a character who basically embodies a lot of crappy human qualities. I think Jewish laws about food and the body are archaically-minded nonsense. I've never been to a temple service, I wasn't bar mitzvahed, and I think Israel is a dangerous rogue state which should have all US funding pulled. I find nothing appealing about Judaism. I would identify myself as a cultural Christian before I would identify myself as a cultural Jew.

I was raised catholic, but consider myself an atheist now. However, the culture of the church is part of who I am whether I want it to be or not. The way I think was heavily influenced by the church, and I still have to interact with my family, which is mostly still active in the church.
and despite my protestations, if I die before my wife I know she'll have a priest in the room giving me last rights. IMO most people who are raised catholic are catholic for life, whether they believe or practice it. |

i think that's widely and wildly overstated.
did it help shape who i am? of course. but beyond that, it's no longer a part of my life. if anyone puts a priest anywhere near me at my death bed i hope someone knows i would want them to be punched in the fucking mouth. |

i'm an ethnic jew
i really hated Judaism for a long time. i'm definitely a non believer, but christian values minus christ minus hell certainly appeals to me more than Christianity. jews aren't really a race but there are some debated qualities like higher than average verbal intelligence and low spatial intelligence whatever who cares Last edited by reprise85 : 12-13-2012 at 02:34 PM. |

pretty sure that's racist and the resulting "seeming intelligence difference" i'll call it is a result of jewish culture and not biological differences
but anecdotally that probably describes me (high verbal low spacial) and i was raised pretty much in a secular household so whatever |

The physical characteristics that people associate with Jews might have to do with the Jews being traditionally insular in their communities, so certain traits get exaggerated and propagated while the introduction of genes from outside those communities is fairly limited. This is actually the same phenomena which makes us visually recognize people of any "race," be it black, caucasian, or maori... communities of individuals who breed exclusively within their community have certain phenotypes emphasized strongly. So maybe Jews could be considered a race in that way, but a lot of East Europeans have those sorts of features also. I have heard that Israelis are actually amazingly diverse looking.
I definitely don't buy this idea that being raised something makes you espoused to it forever whether you like it or not. Like I already pointed out, we live in a society that is deeply, deeply culturally Christian, and even most non-Christians have Christian-esque moral values. That is not the same as actually being a Christian by religion, which requires a literal faith in Jesus as the son of God. Scotty, I was raised with Judaism only on the periphery of my awareness. It's not like I went through Hebrew school and shit and then turned my back on it later. It has never been something I identify with. My parents were both raised Jewish and probably still identify as such even though they are hardly religious at all, which I guess is what you are saying, but to me it has never been an important or influential part of my life. Other than having the heritage, I am by no measure Jewish at all. |

my parents were raised catholic and rejected the church sometime in their 20s but they're still pretty conservative in some areas and have raised me similar. i mean we all detest the church but we're still kind of catholic
for example, my parents taught me about sex by giving me a book and hoping health class took care of the rest also we're all pretty moralistic and judgmental, and my mom uses guilt to get what she wants (sometimes) my awful old guy roommate was similar too he was irish american like me, rejected the church, but put him in a priest costume he'd fool everyone. his use of guilt to get what he wants would have made an irish catholic mother blush.
