I'm Jewish. Yes, it's true. THERE IS AN ACTUAL JEW ON THIS BOARD. Okay, okay. Well, religion used to be fairly important to me, until my rents told me I couldn't have a Bat Mitzvah... Then I just stopped going to Hebrew School. I haven't been there since... What?? You aren't the only one. I'm Jewish, too

What?? You aren't the only one. I'm Jewish, too For some reason I was under the impression that you were atheist Oh yeah, I am. I'm (half) Jewish by descent-- my dad's family was Jewish. But my religion is atheist. Some people consider being Jewish a religion, and some consider it a race, and I guess I consider it a race, because I see myself as Jewish (a race) and atheist (a religion).

It was a race in like.. a long time ago, like Jesus's time, but it spread to other races, so now there is Polish jews and Geman jews and Russian jews and... you get the picture

It depends how you define 'race'. I think most people would take a race to be a group of people with a profound set of physical characteristics due to their natural heritage. Some Jewish people are noticeably different looking to other races (different shaped nose, curly hair etc) while others could easily be mistaken for a caucassian. Obviously Judaism itself is a religion, but I'd say there is a Jewish race too, but not all Jews are part of it. Then again, you would usually call everyone or European descent 'caucassian' when there are infact noticeable differences between the Irish, the Sottish, the scandinavian/Germanic, the Itallian, the Spanish and so on. Personally I'd say these are all races, or perhaps sub races of the caucassian race, but then the Jewish race would have to be a sub race of the Arab race since this is where its origins lie... I've talked quite a bit so I'm going to stop now...

Yeah, or Jewish is kind of a sub race of caucasian, too, because I am definitely caucasian, but also Jewish... I don't know.

Yeah, it's all kind of confusing. I don't really care that deeply about it, but everybody is always inquisitive when I say I'm both atheist and Jewish. WHY CAN'T I BE BOTH, DAMNIT?? Just kidding
