There are some half-Jews that have it the other way around(Jewish mother and non-Jewish father). And two out of the three main sects of Judaism don't consider me Jewish- they only consider you to be Jewish if your mother is Jewish- so I thought that it was important to clarify.

I think a good follow-up question (though pointless, much like the first one) would be do you consider data plural, or singular?

this data, or these data?

[pshreck]

I have 2 very good friends who are 'half-jews'. I think it is a ridiculous term. Religion is based on belief... you can be half black half white, but I dont see this whole 'half catholic half jewish' thing.

Like celebrating Hannukah and Christmas, both in a religious manner... WTF?

[bholdr]

What makes pink lemonaid pink?

also, newman's own lime is great, especially since it's so strng you can dilute it 1.5 to 1 and it's perfect- more bang for your buck.

But, i have to say that the Odwalla 'summertime lime quencher' with lime and agave nectar is even better.

This is not pointless, its stupid. The first question is interesting because both ways of saying it are correct (both are in the dictionary as possible pronunciations).

However, data is the plural form of datum. If you dont think this it just means... that you dont know it.

We do that. We also celebrate both Easter and Passover. I was confirmed and bar mitzvahed. Well Christmas is not really a religious holiday for us, just like it's not for most people. Neither is Hanukkah. It's more for the presents than anything else.

I never said I was confirmed in the Christian faith.

I could be an [censored] to Pshreck and take his money, but I won't.

There is a process in the Reform sect of Judaism called "confirmation", as well. It's very different from the Christian version. /images/graemlins/grin.gif Google it if you don't believe me.

If I made the bet with pshreck then I would win.

I was bar mitzvahed at 13 and confirmed at 16.

thanks for not being a jerk about it.


for the record, I know that data is a plural. However, you hear countless people misuse it. I was just offering that as something else to poll.

Clearly we would have set terms up, and clearly the terms wouldnt allow you to bring new defintions of 'confirmed' into play. But nice try.

You seriously would have been all over the news at a national level if you had actually done this.

Fine. But I am still both Jewish and Christian.

I would disagree with that, but I think its definetly one of the dumber possible arguments you can get in.... telling someone they are not half jew or whatever.

Christianity has a direct, meaningful contradiction with Judaism, and saying you are both just seems to trivialize the whole thing.

[Dead]

It's no different from someone being a Unitarian Universalist Christian and claiming that they don't believe Jesus is god. Yet they're still considered Christian.

[pshreck]

No. Universial Unitarians can be considered Christian, if they believe in Christ as their savior. If they dont, they are not.

[ThaSaltCracka]

I would not consider them Christians at all.


"Unitarian Universalism (UU), known officially as the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations in North America (with headquarters in Boston, Mass.), was officially formed in 1961 with the merger of two separate religious groups whose roots date back to the early 1500s -- the American Unitarian Association (1825) and the Universalist Church of America (1793). Unitarian Universalism is one of the most liberal of the denominations, being more akin to a society of free thinkers than a traditional "Christian" denomination. "

That's not the sole determinant, Pshreck.

Example:

There are these Jews for Jesus people, or Messianic Jews, as they prefer to be called. They celebrate all the Jewish holidays but believe that Jesus is their saviour. These people do not consider themselves to be Christian, but by your logic, they would be. I don't know many Christians who keep kosher and celebrate Hanukkah, but these Messianic Jews do.

[pshreck]

This just gets into more of people calling themselves what they want. Just because the Messianic Jews call themselves that, it doesnt mean they are really jews.

The Orthodox and Conservative sects don't consider me Jewish, because they say that the line goes through the mother. But the Reform sect says thta it goes through the mother or the father, and that's the sect that my temple belongs to.

D. The best drink is this Mango-something drink by Minute Maid. It's amazing. I'll try to remember the rest.

E. Dead is outstandingly dumb, you can't be both Christian and Jewish simply because they have very different beliefs about the major idea behind their religion (i.e Jesus vs. no Jesus).
