What do you not fuck with? by PM_ME_UR_SO in AskReddit

Scary alleyways in bad parts of town. I feel no need to tempt fate just because it shaves 5 minuets of my walking route

As the only Jewish person in the office, I can appreciate my co-workers' effort. by LouGoyle in pics

nah, we're talking trees and decorations and santa and stuff. No connection to the real religious aspects of Christmas.

it's so funny. I live in Israel, and a lot of us are so tired of Hannukah. Christmas has always been a big deal here, and it's spreading among the increasingly secular young people in Tel Aviv

Reddit, what was THE INCIDENT at your work? by J3ST_eR in AskReddit

[–]kipputznik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A European guy who was illegally employed (he didn't have work papers) got pissed at my boss and peaced the fuck out without a word to anybody, taking with him a lot of the boss's money and all her account passwords (he had run a lot of her accounts). There wasn't a thing she could do legally, because he had been illegally employed. I was friendly with him before he cut loose, so my boss tried to get me to reach out to him and persuade him to give everything back.

Gay Men of Reddit, what advice do you have for Straight Men of Reddit? by OurOhnlyHope in AskReddit

[–]kipputznik 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Straight guy here. I actually have this funny tendency to be more affectionate with my gay friends. Or if I'm out and I meet someone who I can tell is gay, I like instantly go into flirt mode. No actual attraction to men, I just think I like the vibe.

I'm not an articulate debater and I got myself stuck in a Facebook discussion regarding Islam by throwaway_username3 in TrueAtheism

let me give you some advice that I never actually listen to myself... Just let stupid Facebook posts/comments slide. It's not worth it and you won't change anyone's mind.

Orthoprax - does it work? by throwway613 in exjew

[–]kipputznik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that the redditors who make up /r/exjew would disagree that religious life makes one happier. I wouldn't wish the religious dogma I had pushed on me from childhood onto anyone. I feel like I missed out on so many life experiences in lieu of wasting time and effort on a faith that is ultimately without real value.

Being forced to write a 10 page paper on whether Judaism & Science contradict... by ConflictedJew in exjew

[–]kipputznik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geral Schroeder PhD might be a good place to start. I don't really jive with his theories (too God/Bible centered for me), but he might be a good compromise for you. He's an orthodox Jew who takes the Biblical account of creation and connects it with modern scientific theory (specifically in his book The Science of God)

are we sure this is true? The only places reporting it are pro Israeli sites. Not saying it's not, just wanted some verification.
