I don’t expect much of anything from a Brit these days, and funny how that’s just what we get too.
Well considering he didn’t want to actually discuss anything, he only wanted to insult and accuse without cause or proof of his assertion, forum might be better without him.
Especially since his response to being challenged to explain his claim was to pretty much sniffle and say “I don’t have to.”
That's why I'm feeling merciful -- if I was ever held accountable on a thread when I happened to be posting while in a bad mood, I'd have been long gone a long time ago.
He seemed massively unwilling to be honest, note he lied about who tossed the insults first.
He seemed to be looking for trouble.
Well, it found him.
But, only on this one thread, though.
I'm not too invested either way....
I've been on this forum for almost 15 1/2 years and had never, so far as I know, encountered this "Fenhalls555" person. I'm glad I didn't.
While of course I could be wrong, he came across to me in his posts on this thread as one of those people to whom the Holocaust was the central event of Jewish history (since the Ma`amad Har Sinai was supposedly "mythical") and to whom the blame for anti-Semitism lay on non-Jews being religious. Ie, Jews are the natural enemies/targets of "religion" (being so naughty and disgusting and rebellious and irreverent and modern and blasphemous etc. etc. etc.) and "religion" is the natural enemy of the Jews. The whole HaShem/Torah/Na"kh/Chosen People thing gets swept under the rug to be replaced by Nobel Physics Prizes, Lenny Bruce, and the ACLU. That at least is how I interpreted this uncouth lout's taunts at working class people (ie "we Jews are all international bankers and working people naturally hate us for being Secretly Behind Communism") and "trailer trash" (ie, no Jew will ever be safe on earth until every Bible is confiscated from non-Jewish hands and destroyed). The b@st@rd was a complete anti-Semitic stereotype--a Ku-Klukker's dream.
At any rate, I am sick and tired of the Jews being used as a stick with which to beat belief in G-d over the head (though not idolatrous non-Jewish "gxds," of course) and guys like this jerkwad are (along with the "conservative" and "Bible-thumping" anti-Semites) my absolute bete noire.
Jews are only a nation because of the Torah, not any oppression (especially oppression blamed on belief in G-d) and the Jewish mission is to convert the world to HaShem, not to bring eighteenth century "enlightenment" or win Nobel Prizes. Furthermore any Jew who rejects even one letter of the Holy Torah being from Heaven forfeits his life in the World to Come.
It's a good thing I'd never encountered this schmuck before. But then, considering his intentionally antagonizing religious people in the name of Judaism, he could very well have been a liberal plant anyway.
*shrugs*
We’ll see.
For some reason, he was hellbent to be dishonest and insulting here.
Interesting perspective. Appreciate ya.
It seems and sounds that way.
Appreciate your take on it as well.
Thanks!
I've got one and only one Jewish stereotype. It's an uncouth, fanatical, rustic Theocratic warrior-shepherd hacking the heads off every Canaanite in sight because G-d told him to. I literally have no other picture beside the word "Jew" in my internal dictionary. It's a high and exacting standard, I admit--one that most modern day Jews aside from perhaps Dr. Barukh Goldstein are incapable of meeting--but the least I demand is that Jews not act like caricatures out of Der Sturmer.
Appreciate ya.
I'm glad someone does. I'm not popular here, but I'm not a nice person and I admit it.
I thought you were Jewish...?
Your internal imagery of Judiasm is ....errrrr.... different. LOL
As you may recall, I tried to embrace Judiasm early in the 2000’s. It didn’t work out for me. My father, I discovered, was Jewish, so, disappointed with the Roman Catholic church, I thought to give it a go.
I have two Jewish Stereotypes: Type One Jew, A Woody-Allen looking guy going “Excuse me, can I do your taxes for you?”. Type Two Jew, a young Bini-Netanhayu looking guy going, “Hold my freakin’ machine gun, I gotta take a pee.”
How many other FReepers haven't heard yet that I've been a Noachide for twenty-four years?

Hot d@mmit, y'all, it's in Bobble! (Plus I was born on Shabbat Pinechas.)

Well . . . looks like there's stuff about you I didn't know too.
It didn’t work out for me.
I'm sorry it didn't. I also began consulting to convert, but uncertainty of where I was going to be living at the time cut things off. Plus Torah-true Judaism is a totalitarian religion (which is what G-d meant it to be) and I'm way too neurotic to deal with such things. Just being an observant Noachide is difficult enough!

I can understand how it hurt to disappoint your father. Re the RC church, I shall uncharacteristically withhold comment at the present time.

Bibi's a wimp. Here is how my scenario goes:
First Jew: Hey cousin Abimelech; you see that th'ar Canaanite feller a-worshipin' that statue over yonder?
Second Jew: Ah sho' 'nuff do, cousin Zedekiah. D@ggum, but that burns mah biscuits to see them perverts a-actin' like that. What's this worl' comin' to???
Cousin Abimelech: Wassay we-'uns jus' walk on over th'ar and separate his head from his body, as Or Teacher Moses has commanded?
Cousin Zedekiah: Well, Ah do de-clare! Ah thank you 'en me need to do jus' that . . . show that th'ar foreign heathen who this here country belongs to!
Seriously . . . this is the only people in the world without right wing nationalism? Really???
Well, quick note: THAT didn't happen. My father was around from age 0-3, then I talked to him once when I was 17. Don't know if he's alive or dead now.
I apologize for my faux pas.
