Aren't Judaism and Aryanism the same thing?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Closer. ‘Hebrew’, when referring to people, is essentially a synonym for Jew (although the term is now considered somewhat derogatory - no Jewish person refers to himself as ‘a Hebrew’).

So what your asking is actually, ‘Why don’t Jews repudiate Judaism?’ That’s a remarkably stupid question.

Well i guess if you dont call Germans for Aryans, that means you are being derogatory towards them? That doesnt make sense though

I just dont see how its ok for one belief system to believe in racist ideas is all? But i dont see Hebrews as derogatory. You dont think using Hindus is derogatory towards Indians do you?

Although when i think about it. Mormonism i guess is the closest to Aryan Religion (not that i believe in it)

1. That’s because ‘German’ and ‘Aryan’ don’t mean the same thing.

2. It ISN’T ok for a belief system to be racist, but it’s probably unavoidable, given the nature of belief systems.

3. If you don’t think ‘Hebrews’ is derogatory, go to the next gathering at your local synagogue and shout out, ‘Wazzup, my Hebrews!!’ 

4. ‘Hindu’ is the name of a religion to which a majority of Indians (a nationality) belong, so of course it isn’t derogatory - it’s descriptive. But the cases aren’t at all parallel.
