Being a Jew constitutes a religion, therefore, you love God, even if you are a jew that is a communist atheist. Jews here will tell you that.
Are Jews Normal?
by Rabbi Manis Friedman
If you ask someone coming out of a church Do you believe in G-d? the worshiper is shocked. What type of question is that? Of course I do, thats why Im here.
But when you walk into a synagogue on Yom Kippur and ask a Jew, Do you believe in G-d? the Jew is quiet. I dont know, Im not a rabbi. Do you consider yourself religious? They break into laughter and assure you that theyre the furthest thing from religious. Are you kidding? Do you know what I eat for breakfast?
So you ask the logical question. What are you doing in a synagogue? But the Jew is shocked. What type of question is that? It's Yom Kippur!"
To be sure, the worshiper and the Jew are shocked for very different reasons. The worshiper is shocked that you question his belief. The Jew is shocked that you question his Jewishness. Judaism is not a religion that we practice, nor a belief that we prescribe to - it's who we are and what we are.
While the Jew may insist I don't want to be religious, I don't want to believe in G-d, on Yom Kippur hes in a synagogue. Why? G-d wants me here, so here I am.
But isnt this hypocrisy? On the contrary, Torah views this very irrationality as the essence of the Jew. It is this insanity that makes us Jewish.
Subjective opinions to an objective truth; I am a Jew even if Im not religious, and G-d is G-d even when I dont believe.
I think we can safely assume that Jewish neocons don't bring in votes. If we threw over abortion rights and gay marriages we might have a chance.
