On to the Jews
Posted by kevingoodman • 7/19/08 • Subscribe to this Discussion [RSS] • Report This Topic
So the Catholics have been baited to reveal their convictions and in some cases accused of not even being Christian.
Can this virtual Klan move onto the Jews or is that too taboo?

Jews are a cut above the rest (I know it's a circumcision gag, but gimme a break)-
Mark, I'm just curious if your North American?
-
No I'm English.
-
Here we're almost all circumcized
I'm not sure about the English tradition. -
Hey I'm circumcised myself, I call it my helmet of justice.
-
Now I'm curious - is it the norm over there?
-
I don't think so, mine was a medical procedure. Why? Are you thinking of opening a clinic?
-
Well it's the norm here :0
-
Yes Claire, My willy was scapled
inspiration for a doodle -
That disturbs me more than you will ever know. -
Clair I don't know why I thought of you that should disturb you more
-
40% of male babies born in the US are not being circumcised, FYI
-

Did I miss something? A church structure or affiliation never makes one a Christian. The Christian faith is internal, not external, though faith certainly manifests itself in external ways.
Jesus was a Jew and His life was ransomed for Jews and Gentiles.-
Hi Global, my point here was that some people did come right out and claim Catholics were not Christians - that doesn’t matter and of course Catholics believe there way is best but they usually don't look down on others (that doesn’t matter either). My point isn’t a theological one, it’s a reminder that Catholicism has been attacked in America since its European founding’s and well there are three things the KKK doesn’t like and Catholics are one of them. Do you hate somebody for believing they are right? Especially when this conviction of faith comes out in defense? Hate, hate, hate, wear the badge, power to you– I’m not talking to you Global
-
@Kevin: Do you hate somebody for believing they are right?
No, I don't... Perhaps because I am not insecure if someone has a different belief than I do. I have friends of all faiths and belief systems. As you know, however, there are certainly those who dislike Christians, Catholics, and those of the Jewish faith... Such is rampant amongst certain Muslims and non-Muslims alike. I pity those who hate. May peace and love prevail. -
Global - you're very sound. I hope you didnt feel like you needed to awncer me personally because I think we're on the same book on many subjects.
-
But Jesus placed God above Jewish law
-
-
In the United States it is mainly for health reasons. -
Come on people wear those badges of hate - you show your pride, lets take it one step up. Power to hate, power to hate, power to hate
-
Well, I'm an equal opportunity racist. -
So your saying hate is ok because it's give and take. Right on brother panther.
-
Kevin really you should be ashamed of your self, "Power to hate" come on! Who's acting like a troll now? -
Kat when I start paraphrasing the motivation....Second theres no excuse for attacking others beliefs. If I'm accused for being a troll for taking a strong stance againt faith bashing then so be it. And I highly resent that comment kate.
-
Kevin I was refering to the "power to hate" statement, I could care less about your stance on faith, that is not what I was refering to
-
well Kate perhaps this rhetoric that's not so satirical - will demonstrate a different point of view and encourage sensitivity.
David Duke once said the KKK wasn’t about hating Black people it was about supporting the white people. You can attack something and make it seem innocent or even benevolent but that doesn’t change face. -
my last two cents, my name is KAT not Kate, and I still don't see the point of this thread ...
-
Kat, why are you here then, why does it bother you?
I have not attacked anybody. I am only demonstrating that attacking others beliefs has a less than pleasant manifestation. -
@ Kevin So what you are saying is, because a previous discussion has upset you, you have decided to invite people to insult Judaism. -
Thanks Kat: yes I am against hate, that's what it's suppose to demostrate but in a sense of irony (that's the artist in me - sorry for the confusion.
(from private shouts) -
@polybore
Invitation no - reminder, yes. Jews, Blacks, and Catholics have all been persecuted in this country. My position is not for any of them but a reminder of how opisitions manifest. -
I gotta agree with pollybore, I guess my question to you is what do you think you are accomplishing here? except to perpetuate the same thinking, I don't think there is anything artistic in encouraging people who might have these racist tendencies to come out of the woodwork and spew their closemindedness...
-
It goes back to the David Duke thing. You can make it sound innocent but that doesnt make it innocent.
Look it's not that complicated - it's not subliminal. We had somebody say Catholics are not christians and we had somebody agree - that's not all. Hey - the KKK has been saying that for 130 years. So how is it wrong for me to ask people to be a little more sensitive. Hey, sometimes you got to show people...this is what the KKK has said and other hate groups. Perhaps when they see it in that context they'll be a little more willing. I don't see anybody jumping on the bandwagon here and picking up sticks. -
I have some wonderful Jewish friends. Out of curiosity I used to go to the synagogue in my teens to see what went on. No-one ever told me i was reading the book back to front. Hebrew reads from the last page to first. Some of the Kantors have incredible voices and are fascinating to listen to.
I think one of the tragedies of the church is the cutting back on Latin masses, they were so beautiful to hear in a big Cathedral. -
Kevin is referencing a discussion about whether non-catholics go to heaven according to catholics. It led to 400 posts. I started that one and it did bore out a lot of issues that required further discussion. The circumcision discussion was a little odd, but I am not judging

Do Jews go to Wal-Mart?-
I don't know but I have seen hindu people and muslims in Wal-mart but that's because I live in a college town.
-
I think they prefer K-Mart
-
-
When I'm motivated I'm going to start finding the hate post and reposting them right here into the Klan member verification files.
-
This threads too satrical for that, perhaps a more straightfoward thread called the hate files.
-
-
what's the rationale of circumcision? God gave u a foreskin and expect you to cut them off?
-
I'm not really sure. I think it started because doctors thought there was less chance for infection. But now I don't know.
-
no way... the designer of universe and human race wont make such a blunder lol
-
My wife is polish so circumcision was highly irregular to her. I told her if we had a boy it had to be circumcised. Hey in my high school gym class there was one boy that wasn’t - that's a cruel thing to do.
-
In the Islamic faith even girls need to be "Circumcised"
-
Circumcision helps stem the transmission of HIV.
-
That was suggested but not 100% proven....
-
@jsinkeywest do u mean to say they have Jewish MAFIA too? cool man
-
-
Who cares people are people.You treat me right I don't care what you are.But I would be careful talking about "certain" groups cause they have mechanisms that address that and it's not fun.-
Yes!!
They are CONTROLLIING US aka the whole world!
-
-
Wrong Placement!
-
Im not even sure what the point of this discussion is but it is kinda annoying.-
I don't either fly
-
This is about the anti catholic comments on other threads -
-
In some cases anti faith statements. I'm not puporting any point of view but I am protesting those who consitently have to attack others beliefs. This is to demonstrate another light in which these things are viewed.
-
every discussion is as pointless as you want to view it
-
If only the world was pleasant and we could just sweep the trash under the couch.
-
-
So anyone ever go out with a hot Isreali chick like I did;)
-
Israelis ? now that is risky
-
too risky!!
-
I had quite a few Jewish girlfriends and to be honest they don't have the guilt trip that most Catholic girls have.
-
I have had a couple of Mormom girlfriends and they are nymphomaniacs. Freaky in bed.
I was raised Catholic and I dont understand how people are dividing Catholicism and Christianity when Christianity includes a lot of different faiths.
-
-
I didn't realise the Catholics were being accused of not being Christian. I think there are giant errors in the Catholic religion, but there definitely are Christian values expressed on a recgular basis in Catholisism. I guess from my perspective I would say that the Catholic doctrine gets in the way of Jesus and Christianity, it seems to stand between Jesus and His followers. That is where I see the error in Catholism. When I went to have my daughter Christenedd some years back, I had a very long talk with the priest and when it came down to it, I could NOT agree with everything that was being said. So I took her to another Christian church that had a more universal approach and didn't have the same obligations.
I wasn't aware that someone had baited the Catholics. In the other discussion, what troubled me was the idea that Catholics were superior to even other Christians 'to those that are given, much will be asked 'etc. , this in itself is nothing short of a Cult mentality. The idea of any Christian faith being superior to another is absurd, and disrespectful to other Christian groups. Jesus is my all time greatest hero and the role model for all Spirituality. If the Christians can't even embrace their Christian brothers of other demoniations, how could they ever accept Buddhists, Hindu's or any other faith...or taking it an extremes, beings from other planets.
I live in a region where there a lots of cults and there are people with a cult mentality in organised religions, they seem to divide more than unify.-
Here they have been persecuted by the KKK just like blacks. But tommorow I'll private shout you a specific link. right now I got to go to sleep.
-
Thanks Kev, I wasn't aware of that issue over there.

Okay, so for the Jews, they are the chosen ones according to the bible. What is interesting about being Jewish maybe more than any other religion is that you can be a cultural Jew or a religious Jew. Having gone to synagogue for some of my early education in NYC, you find that many Jews are culturally based on Israel and the traditions of the country but they don't practice the religion. They still call themselves Jewish.
So, do they go to heaven? According to the bible yes, but I think there must be some discussion about the Jews that don't believe in God. If God is the creator of heaven and they don't believe in him, they probably don't even believe in heaven. Do they still go? I don't even think they believe it?! -
Used to have a Jewish boyfriend. There is a stereotype that Jewish men know how to treat a woman and are all about equality of men and women. It was true in his case. I used to go to synagogue with him sometimes. I have studied many religions and what struck me is that islam seems to be closer to Christianity than Judaism, imho.
