Tref: why would you cease a fascinating line of discussion?

Honestly, I'm not particularly shaken by "We're right, you're wrong" statements from any religious entity. It's the nature of religion.

However, this in combination with the restoration of language calling for the conversion of Jews is a much bigger issue for me.

One must also remember that the "Bible" is but a shadow of what it was originally and has been rewritten and had many parts discarded by old white men.

Oh good, you believe in Torah, then?

GD: Does anyone, really? I mean, all that stuff in Leviticus about animal sacrifice, no one does that any more.

And, despite what unnamed Protestants may espouse, Jesus founded no church.

Umm "On this rock I build my church" is pretty definitive.

What was that about the Nazi Pope?

Dammit, do I lose the argument now?

It doesn't work if you invoke it, Cherny.

I don't know nearly enough about it to say yeah or nay. However, when at one point in my life I was searching for an outlet for my spiritual yearnings, Judaism appealed to me most early on (though as many know, I have since started practicing Wicca, a form of Paganism).
