Happy is the people who's history makes boring reading.
I am not Jewish through choice. I am not able/allowed to recant it.
I need to know there is one country I can always run to in time of greatest need.
I am Atheist.
I am Jewish.
I am Zionist.
Do I really need to say more?
Yes, you do. If you are not practicing Judaism but are living as an atheist, how would I know you are 'Jewish'? How would I know to persecute you?
Why is self-identifying as 'Jewish' important to you?
My ancestry is largely Scots.
Should I identify as a Scot and rabble-rouse or fight for Scottish independence?
Should I hate and fear the English and blame them for persecuting my ancestors?
You don't need to 'recant' anything. You just have to ignore it.
You give up your power as a human being to this tribal nonsense, as well as giving others power over you.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
