I understand about Brian37, believe me.
What is it about cultural Jews that makes them 'assholes'?

It's sort of hard to explain. Cultural Jews are self absorbed. They will tell you that they are Jewish at cocktail parties, and that's your cue to tell them how interesting you think that is and profess your admiration for the Jewish people. They are obsessed with the idea that being Jewish makes them different from other people, and say bizarre things about being Jewish in a non Jewish world-- even though they are about as different from non Jews as non practicing Catholics are from non practicing Presbyterians. It is tedious.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
