That's not true. You're lying and we know why, Mintzer.

Anyone can go back and read her answer.

Please enlighten us with your definition of woke and why it must die.

She has stated that she doesn't believe in the teachings and that she is only "culturally" Jewish... Her words, not mine...

Oh, and please tell me "why" I'm lying... And who is "we"?

You're still lying. People should go back and read what she wrote. She does not say there's anything wrong with your talmud.

And neither have you, of course.

It seems like you and her don't even know what truth and lying are.

Who is the deceiver?

Did I say ANYWHERE on here that WOKE must die? I believe you are mistaken.
I have no definition of my own. I have used the term WOKE as it is defined on any search engine. Apparently, by their definition there are a lot of folks misusing the term. That's what happens frequently with new, made up terms. Perhaps, instead of misusing the term, folks should just say what they mean without trying to be upbeat?

LOL, must not be reading much of what they preach! So, what are students going to use as their reading material during religion class in parochial schools? Such a dilemma. Teaching kids that homosexuals are going to hell, is pure hatred. WWJD?

God doesn't belong in public school, if you must god belongs in Sunday school and religious schools. Blame it on the founding fathers.

You, apparently...

I NEVER said she said that there was anything wrong with the Talmud.

I DID say she doesn't believe in it... Which she has said.

She made the statement that she is not a "Religious Jew" (ie, one who subscribes to the Torah/Talmud), but is a "Cultural Jew"... Her words, not mine...

And you still haven't answered why you know I'm "lying"... Please expound on that accusation...

Maybe some of the Romans. They could also have been of Germanic origin as the Romans had various Germanic bodyguards.

You avoided the question = support.
Me? I don't care about the Talmud. I mean, I've read it, but I have no personal emotional attachment to it. I have a cultural attachment to it since I'm Jewish, but I'm a non-practicing Jew and really don't give a flying fig. I think the New Testament, the Torah, the Book of Shadows, the Quran, the Bhaghavad-gita, the Book of Mormon, and all other holy books of various religions should be in public and school libraries so that students and others can read them and learn ABOUT these religions.

But the school district in Utah created a law forbidding books in the schools containing vulgarity and violence, and the Bible (old and new testaments both) is chock full of both.

And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!”
Amen to that! It will be Christians burning in hell, because no others believe that stuff and it would be a great thing if someone would stop them from trying to push their beliefs on everybody else.

If you are right and Christians are wrong, then they have lost nothing. But, if they are right and you are wrong, then you had better enjoy what life you have left.

You know so much about the Bible; answer me this:
The book of Numbers 12:1-10: This passage tells the story of Miriam and Aaron speaking against their brother Moses because he had married a Cu****e woman. Cu****ies were typically associated with dark skin color.
The question then is, what skin color were Moses and his brothers?

There is light-skin / dark-skin racism in the Middle East and Africa today. There is a good book about this and I'll add the title as soon as I can remember it.

They were brown. Just like all Egyptians. You do know that there are multiple shades of brown? Or do you truly believe that if they're not dark brown, they must be white?

Hamites (another name for the background of Zipporah, Moses' wife) were also brown. They were not nearly as dark brown as people from Ethiopia at the time, but darker than most Egyptians. The word you referred to that the vulgarity filter asterisked out, comes from the word Cush, which was the son of Noah. People who are "of Cush" were Cush.. ites. They descended from the son of Noah, who was from an area within the country now known as Iraq. They were ALSO brown.

And yet - they are still shades of brown. None of them are, or were, Caucasian. Nor was Jesus, as he was an Israelite, and brown.

The Bible is probably one of the most violent books ever written. Human sacrifices, men thrown into furnaces, swallowed by whales, nailed to crosses, killing babies, destroying cities...it goes on and on. It's also a work of fiction!

And... IF there is to be any legislation requiring that books containing "violence" and "vulgarity" be removed from school libraries and curricula, then the bible should be #1 on that list. Old and new testament, the whole series.

IF they're not willing to remove the Bible, then they need to get rid of that legislation.

Prove it. A lot of scholars and scientists have tried, but none have succeeded to prove it fiction. It is historically and mathematically correct. You have a choice to believe it or not believe it, but not believing it does not make it fiction. OK, let me back track. There are a few parables that are included and are fiction.

Sure, and get rid of ALL history text books, because the document world wars and lots of killing. Wow, and don't forget the dropping of atom bombs on Japan and carpet bombing too. Let's censure anything that shows violent history because Americans are soooo sensitive. chiloutchilout

Some of us actually believe in our chosen religion.

I agree. I thought the whole rainbow thing was related to Lucky Charms, when in reality it was more like Fruit Loops.
