No offense to anyone, but Jews are way more tolerant of other people than say...Christians as far as I've seen. Isreal, Palistine, Iraq, Iran (so far away... and I ran...anyway) that's the Middle East, and it's like they're caught up in some B.C.E recreation game or something. Jews and Judiaism are just really cool people, and pretty smart too. They're now allowing females to join the rabbianic traditions, while the Southern Baptist Convention still balks at the idea of female pastors. Nothing wrong with Jewish people. Good folk. Salt of the earth.
The sad thing is that Judiaism is the one religion that I didn't get to study in for my Bachelors.:( However, one of my favorite professors was Jewish, so she sorta gave me some run downs. Loved her to death. Max (short for Maxine) Grossman.
The Jews don't have some ridiculous plan to take over the world. They didn't kill Jesus. Jesuswas a Jew for fuck's sake. The people he was bitch about were the over bloted high priests not the common folk. He was trying to liberate the common Jewish people from the temple priests and the Romans, because he was from a common family. He stood up for the Jewish man. So from Jesus and me: Fuck off!!!!
(As to why I don't exactly treat Jesus as total divinity...I'm Pagan, and the only Divinity I see are the Gods and most specifically The Great Mother, i.e. The Morrighan :) )
