Do know what an analogy is, and why an analogy is used?
Someone doesn't need to be an authority on Judaism to know that there are people who practice the religion from their heart, and there are those who give Judaism lip service and act out the rituals in a meaningless fashion, completely divorced from the spiritual side of Judaism. These secular types are atheistic Semites. All ritual if even that, and nothing at all in their hearts for God.
This is true for all the religions, you have the actors, the in name only types, the ones who go to church on Sunday or Temple on Friday night and sin like monsters the rest of the time and ignore having a right and true relationship with their God...and then you have those who take their respective religion to heart and work all the time to practice their respective religions with their heart and soul. Ritual means nothing to them, the spirit of their religion means everything...
A person can act all pious and holy, they can do all the rituals and observe all the high Holy days...they can act just like an actor on a stage and fool most of the people...it is just show business anyway, showing their vanity of being "pious and holy, being a religious man"... but God and the person who is only acting knows the deepest truth of the situation, that acting one way for the sake of show business is one thing, and truly having faith in God and trusting in God is a completely different thing.
When you are alone, and you think no one is watching...God is watching. The truly religious not only know that to be true, they feel it in their hearts with full faith all the time.
p.s. As to your lie that I said there were no genetic differences between human beings, I would ask you to link to an exact quote...but I know you won't do that. It is your nature to make stuff up.
All I said is that there is a human race.
And that is what matters. It is all that matters because that humanity, if dominant, will look beyond the shallowness of racism and genetic differences to what makes all human beings created equally.
Racists like you look for the differences which lead to inferior and superior attitudes toward others on the basis of race and ethnicity (genetics)...non racists only see human beings acting irrationally by thinking they are superior or inferior to fellow members of the same human race.
Quote from Mom0/pH0x:
LOL zzzenu, i never said anything with regard to the superiority of cats or dogs... since you are obviously an authority on judaism, it's odd that you didn't know that a tenet of judaism was that a jew is a jew regardless of whether or not they maintain fidelity with jewish beliefs or customs...
and yes, the fact that you changed your position from 1) there are no genetic differences differences between humans to 2) there are no differences btwn semitic groups to 3) there are genetic differences between jews and other semitic groups because they have "evolved" differently due to ''culture and diet''... so right now that's where we are at, which is contradictory to your opening position on this matter...
wow zzzzenu, not only are you an authority on judaism, also on genetics and evolutionary biology... an impressive resume you have! :eek:
