why do Jewish women have to shave there hair bold when they get married?
Epic thread.
Never mind other religions, our SN religion shines through this thread! Regular features/practices such as disguising the motive, spelling issues, playground insults, nonsense arguing to avoid challenges and to look bigger, chav stylee sexual humour, and some occasional pacifying and fostering are on just one thread! SN God (whoever you are), well done on creating such a quarrelsome religion.
Jew ladies shaving their heads and even Scientology rituals are **** all weird in comparison to the SNology's absurd practices.

Mus means that he posted a thread about Jewish female hair removal as a response to Tony's and my criticism of Islam, and if Mus doesn't mean that, you do! Well, thank goodness your dramatic exit was only theatre, we'd have missed out on these carefully considered posts. 


certain individuals seem to post something very often
I wanted them to see how it is

No, it still doesn't work. In what way is starting a thread about Jewish female hair removal a retaliation? It's not, is it? And you being insistent doesn't make it so. I'm most surprised at your decision to adopt the thread as appropriate come-back should Mus not be forthcoming. Jewish female hair removal?! 



Do you understand that there is a Jewish ethnicity beyond religious affiliation? If I were to convert to Judaism I wouldn't suddenly muster up the genetic and hereditory distinctions that make one Jewish, would I? I can't just become an Ashkenazi Jew by uttering some badly constructed declaration. Conservative and Orthodox Jewish philosophy states that a person can be considered a Jew only if his or her mother is Jewish. That's that. You really don't have the authority to change that, I'm afraid.
However, before Judaism arose, the humans that migrated to that region were all the same. Being a Jew is not, in that sense, 'real'. They are from the same genetic pool as anyone else living in that region.
I'm not sure why you are arguing about this really
I agree about what being a Jew means, I just pointed out that using different classical 'races' was a bad example of what you were trying to illustrate.Geezer
I do understand that Jews think they have a distinct difference from others and being a Jew is more than practising Judaism.

I didn't use the classical races, you did! I said I couldn't just become (ethnically) Jewish in the same as I couldn't just become an Arab (which is a panethnicity), an Afro-Carribean (a Carribean person of African descent) or an Inuit (who are an indigenous people of the Arctic region who share approximately the same culture). My example works just fine.

Surely you can see that?Geezer
I'm no expert in Jewish philosophy so i can't comment on whether the above is true or not, and simply have no desire to find out if i'm brutally honest.
However, according to a Jewish family friend, there's no difference, as long as the convert is sincere and embraces all aspects of "Jewishness".
This link gives what i think is a typical viewpoint;

If somebody told me they'd converted to Christianity, in my mind they'd be a Christian. If somebody told be they'd converted to becoming a negro, and they had freckles and ginger hair, i'd laugh. Jewish isn't a race, it's merely a religion.
You'd really laugh at gingers with freckles ???!!!

The great men I strategically quoted above didn't have any belief in an Abrahamic God, but were still Jewish. It might be worth reading Cristopher Hitchens' memoir regarding his discovery of his Jewish heritage in Hitch 22 for an insight. If you can be bothered, of course. You're denying Jewish ethnicity, Tel.
Ah, I see, so Christopher Hitchens, Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Baruch Spinoza, Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud were all mistaken and Scoobynet's Telboy, who despite admitting (if he's brutally honest) that he has simply no desire to find out, still considers himself suitably qualified to whimsically declare the above. Good grief!
No, i think you're giving credence to Jewish "ethnicity" that just doesn't exist, except in their own minds perhaps. Just because you start a religion doesn't make you a different race, not unless the laws of physics don't apply to Jews of course. I wouldn't mind betting Scientologists see themselves as a different race. But they're not.
Jolly good, and if you could quote where I've stated that "Jewish is a race", I'll concede and we can conclude this ******* silly thread.
