What religion are you?

[3331 137]

Boston Irish Catholic---not Roman Catholic like those Italians, Polish, French and Germans.

Still recovering from indoctrination, been through Detox and Rehab.

In 2002 almost married a woman that tried to pull me back in.

I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

FWIW, Judaism is a tribal identity, not a religion.

The tribes have strong religious traditions, but these have significantly different meaning than they do to the Universal Religions (Christianity, Islam, et. al.) that have chosen them as a basis.

A jew who is a non-believer is still a jew. Rather a few observant jews are also atheists. One can value family traditions without being locked into a bronze-age mentality (three is a rather bad approximation for pi...).

Maybe a few hundred years ago but to say that today is simply codswallop.

When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Not necessarily, I have quite a few friends who though they aren't practicing Jews still identify themselves as Jewish and take part in most ceremonies & traditions...though the latter could be from parental pressure
