In my area the Jewish community makes a big deal out of putting up a giant menorah on public property. Of course, I don't think it belongs there and there was a bit of a controversy when they first erected it until the local court said it was okay.

Quote:Also, never underestimate the power of Jews to come up with a holiday in which we have to eat a scrumptious food to "remember". Latkes are the real reason that holiday stays afloat (they're fried in oil, oil relating to the miracle, har-dee-har-har). I'm making some tomorrow. Wanna come over?
Never eaten a Latke. What's it taste like?
Quote:Don't analyze the bullshit, just understand the formula that pretty much all Jewish holidays follow: Someone oppressed us (allegedly in some cases), somehow we overcame it, OKAY LET'S EAT!! Stick with the eating part.
Sounds a lot like how my wife's Italian family approaches a holiday.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
