Isn't there this joke, "what do you call a Jew who doesn't believe in God?"
Would you like it if they dropped the label to give atheism more of a voice, or do you think the cultural identity trumps that?
No, I don't mind much, because Judaism was insular for so long that there very much is a culture attached to it. I can elaborate on this, if you wish.
Quote:I'm not like those piss-ants who bitch about Tyson not ID'ing as an atheist.
You know... a few years ago I would have bitched about it, but now I don't feel like it any more.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
