This was interesting : https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/640221/jewish/What-is-the-Meaning-of-the-Name-Jew.htm A Jew once told me that "Jew" literally means "someone who has a relationship with God." That, to me, means it is someone who uses their own rational capacity to discover hidden truths. An idol is anything which you believe to be true, but which isn't. And rationally, nothing can ever be proven to be true - things can only be proven false. So, I would submit that anyone honestly engaged in philosophy is a Jew, and probably the only people who can be proven to not be Jews are Zionists. That gets into a whole 'nother discussion, though.
nah, i think most people are too lazy to think so they aren't jews and i'll take that label! i'm even ... oh wait... that's mutilation
If you're alluding to circumcision, Christians don't need it. We're circumcised in the heart. And that's just another way of clarifying what "Jew" means, since that's allegory for being rational. Rational as in, not empirical - empiricism is idolatry.
yeah well, i wasn't saying it was required but rather imposed upon me
Well, at least its harmless. If it makes us less horny, then we can put more of our energies into building civilization. Although... IMO civilization is a euphemism for slavery. But focusing on the naive and happy aspects...
haha funny how if you surgically remove the same part of a female human it's called genital mutilation and it's main effect is to reduce enjoyment of sex and has a weakening effect on bonding to the partner
True dat... Also funny how religious people think they need to correct what God made.
