Ask a Jew

#1

The last piece to the puzzle. I haven’t seen this thread yet.

Keep in mind of my background: I am being raised as a Jew. I went to synagogue, K-12 (am currently in 9th) in a Jewish school, etc. etc.
By faith, I consider myself agnostic (don’t call me atheist, agnostic vs. atheist is a debate I already took part in a different thread). As in, I just refuse to make up my mind whether god exists or not. He easily could, but then again he might not.

So that means that I can answer your questions thoroughly while being impartial to the matter.

Ask away if you must.

So… um… how’s that whole circumcision thing working out for you?

#3

haha owned!

in b4 people claim that circumcision is not related to being jewish

#4

u guise maek me giggul

#5

Pretty well, considering that girls generally prefer circumcised over vanilla.

#6

I’m circumcised, and no one in my family is Jewish.

But anyway, why did you bastards give me a huge nose?

P.S. Just in case you can’t tell, I really have nothing against Jews.

What? I thought chicks would dig a vanilla flavoured penis.

I now understand why you asked what my thoughts were concerning the Jewish folks on the other threads - You were certainly welcome to reply to the question of why you asked in the first place, but I understand now.

(Good on you for being willing to answer some questions - It speaks well of you)

Forgive my ignorance, but I am curious… to the Jewish thought, the rest of the books in the OT, (After the first five) are they vital to the Jewish faith, or… how are they viewed? I mean really… Is Jonah considered part of foundational Jewish belief? Why I ask, is because in the text, it is a book showing the great mercy of God - How is something like this (Or even the book of Ruth), looked on from the Jewish frame?

I should think of great importance, but I would rather ask, than assume. So, if you don’t, what are your thoughts on this?

Do you guys consider Halal meat as Kosher? I know that a lot of Muslims believe that Kosher meat can be regarded as Halal.

#11

So it is an “ask a jew” thread, but you hold no jewish beliefs? Why the thread then?

#12

Ask an old Jew?

#13

lol! :s hrug: mkay. I just thought it ironic. Sort of like… ask a christian, but yeah I am not a christian.:retard:

#14

meh if Noteanaminator’s wall o’text “answers” in Ask A Christian are Kosher, him allegedly not being a Christian, I don’t really see the irony in this thread considering the OP is actually Jewish, if not practicing. Also, I started the ‘Ask A Buddhist’ thread simply because I’m interested in Buddhism and know a bit about it, not because I’m necessarily a devout practicing Buddhist.

#15

Yeah, these threads are here to share knowledge and insights, so to speak. It shouldn’t be a problem if that knowledge or those insights come from someone who doesn’t actually support it.

#16

Note didnt actually CREATE the thread tho. Meh … no skin off my nose tho. :stuck_out_tongue:

#17

To be honest, I think the fact that I’m not a practicing Jew would only make my responses more complete and impartial.

#18

No. They’re too stubborn.

#19

I’m sorry to say I’ve never heard of “halal”.

#20

It’s the muslim version of kosher.
