^^^ Right. Just like Hindus? But why does no one bitch about Hindus? Because they are not trying to convert people... which coincidentally is the same as Judaism.

If we are here to gripe about stupidity in every religion, than this thread will never end.

I thought the point of the discussion was griping about those people who try to force their opinions/religion on other people?

The same reason I don't gripe about most religions is the same reason I don't gripe about gay people and their sexuality... they are happy being who they are and don't expect me to be the same way.

If any group, politically, sexual orientation, religion, culture, or whatever tries to make me like them, then I have a problem with it. But if that group does what they do without harming another human being, or throwing their belief in other people's face, why would I complain?

I mentioned Hindu's as well.

But no.  The point was to debate the historical accuracy of Jesus and i commented how most "holy laws" were likely public service announcements made in the name of god so they would stick.

No gripe.

Simple fact.

 

 

Still, this is an apple to oranges comparison.  The laws of the so-called old testament have nothing to do with Jesus (and this is according to Christianity) so I fail to see the connection here.  You were complaining about the laws concerning shatnez, which isn't a Christian belief.  The laws conerning shatnez is a Jewish law that only applies to Jews (just ask any religious Jew, if you told them you followed this law, they'd think you were crazy, because it doesn't apply to non-Jews).

That's why I am confussed as to what we are talking about. 

What I mean is, if a Jew comes in this thread and tries "convert" people, I will be the first to jump on that person... this is a subject that I can crush most people on.  But no Jew expects a non-Jew to follow such mitzvos, so what is the debate?  You say it's a dumb law, which lucky for you, doesn't apply to you anyway, and no Jew expects you to follow (and would think you were a little nuts if you did too). 

So I am asking, where is the debate?  You think it is pointless, and you don't follow it... good for you, you shouldn't.  I'm not here to debate people who believe different than myself.  I only debate people whom will stop at nothing short of my conversion.  No Hindu, Jew, Buddhist, Taoist, Wiccan, etc want to convert you or I... so we shall never have a debate.  If they did, that would change everything.
