Ex-Jew

Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
Welcome. My adopted father's late aunt was a Jew, as is her widower. I do find the culture of the religion fascinating., I went to synagogue once on the day of a relative (on that side) having his bar mitzvah, and then the party afterwards, including the chair twirling, whatever that's called.
It's all very fascinating to me. All the aforementioned, plus the dietary culture. But, well....God(?!).

Copenhagen School  Religious Views: Its all bullshit to keep you handing money to the usher. (May 20, 2014 at 6:03 am)max-greece Wrote: Oi Vey Lemon - I thought you knew me. I never realised. Forgive me.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Until now that is, I'm curious to see your input and right off the bat I wonna know what you think of people that use the term Jewish atheist. It doesn't make since to me. Either you are one or the other. Jews, all sects believe in God. It seems like a contradiction to me. That's my two cents. -Lady Katherine

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould 
I think that you're maybe the first former jew there.
