Members of these Orthodox groups also have been known to be far more likely to adopt more conservative positions on matters like abortion, same-sex marriage and the Israeli approach to the Palestinians. . . .

40 percent of Jews in the city identify themselves as Orthodox, an increase from 33 percent in 2002; 74 percent of all Jewish children in the city are Orthodox.

Good. The Jews prove their exceptional intelligence at work again. The Godless jews have been a bane on the entire world since they still are brilliant in certain ways—although misguided and in error about human nature and utopian society. Jews should all embrace their rich, beautiful culture of monotheism which gives such meaning to life and shaped the entire Western Civilization.

Intelligence used for good is great......intelligence used for promotion of evil—is, well, evil. The idea that the world did not have a Designer is really quite nihilistic and meaningless. Why not embrace God and have purpose and hope in life. I can’t conceive of the laziness in thought in some Jews and their atheism with such a history and traditions.

I do understand the “Kill God” Postmodernism which is out to annihilate God and make way for Satanic worship, but it is so devoid of meaning and has led to the destruction and death of millions of people—and that also, should make the Jews of all people, turn to God. There is no future with no God and Godless people do horrific acts as history of all cultures prove.

No society made up of Satanic/Occultists/Atheists/Pagans will be safe for a free people. Why would brilliant people join such evil, unsuccessful worldview? Socialism/Marxism is a Godless ideology which dehumanizes man.

I just hope the Torah-observant Jews ARE the future of American Judaism!
