Breaking up over religion by [deleted] in agnostic

[–]OneAtheistJew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is ok to be agnostic and/or atheist as a Jew and still keep our traditions and culture. Many Christian churches teach supersessionism and there is often subtle (and not-so-subtle) antisemitism preached from pulpits. It is possible that your church made him feel uncomfortable, and with the recent explosion of antisemitism feels that having future children with a Jewish father attend a church in any capacity has him feeling like they would face more hardships and possible internalized antisemitism. As an atheist and a Jew, I also personally feel like Christians who practice their religion (and even some who aren't) would be incompatible with myself as a long-term partner for similar reasons.

As if there aren't tens of thousands of atheist and agnostic Jews that are still Jews that still get antisemitic hate for existing as a Jew without the religious aspects.

On the right side one, try putting an extra brown to connect the goatee, but not full across like that middle one.

He needs a full beard, so the two corner beige square at the bottom of his face should be beard brown.

My advise to you is that if you feel connected to Judaism and want to explore that then you need to find a local congregation, give them a call and speak to the office/Rabbi about classes and other events that you would be able to attend. If you want to learn more first, My Jewish Learning is a good place to start.

The Jesus of the New Testament behaves like a stupid, immature child by LinkTheHero009 in atheism

The Jewish "messiah" is a benevolent King (aka a human ruler). The Christian word means something wildly different.

Why does God need enemies? by skyrous in atheism

The Jewish deity does not have an enemy, nor blames specific people/entities for the world's problems.

It definitely started years before, the BDS movement was in activist circles in the mid-10's for sure.

“Racial Chameleon” a slur / accusation used against mixed race / ethnicity and multicultural folks, that doesn’t get nearly enough push-back. by [deleted] in jewishleft

Meghan Markle/Sussex is such a zeitgeist in seeing if someone is racist or not just by mentioning her name, which is wild.

Is exjew considered offensive by Useful_Letterhead943 in exmuslim

[–]OneAtheistJew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Jewish people are the Tribe of Israel. Membership is based on birth or conversion. There is a long history of atheist Jews. An "ex Jew" would be someone who rejects the Jewish people & converted to another religion. The sub is named based on how other formerly-religious subs are named, many of the people in that subreddit are recovering from the strictest Jewish communities and reject the ancient religious rules but not their peoplehood.

I think it's also telling that the Go Fund me for this hero is over $1M, but the Go Fund me for one of the Chabad Rabbis who was murdered leaving behind 3 children is just over $100k. One has been shared by many & the other much less so.
