With all the recent talk about anti-Semitism, who would have thought that Jews would prove so popular?
A new Gallup Poll (released September 7, 2006) asked respondents how they felt about ten different religious groups, ranging from “Fundamentalist Christians” to “Atheists.” By every measure, Jews drew the most favorable reaction, with the highest “positive” rating (58%) and the lowest “negative” rating (only 4%)...

"No whey!"
"Whey!"
Why don't I ever get to take these polls?
Big problem is that Jews weren't divided into "sects", as Christians always are (since "we" know it so well).
Although, I have to say, I'm not sure even Reform Jews would get a "negative" from me; after all, if you consider Moslems as DEFINITE negatives, then everyone else "pales" in comparison.
Using Moslems as the yardstick (regardless of sect) as very negative, everyone else for me would get at least a neutral if not a positive.
Hey Mel Gibson is a FReeper!!
It's PC, I tell you. We dare not speak ill of Moslems. We might be seen as "racist"....or is that....religionist? OK, just "bigotted".
Like I said, only Moslems would be under "bad" for me. And I would've said that before 9/11.
I've certainly worshiped at the Carnegie Deli! :)
Not really. The essence of the people who follow it is their philosophy (religious precepts).
It does make a difference.
Most people don't know jack diddley about the Jewish religion. To illustrate, I read something just yesterday about some lefty chr*stian clergyman claiming that chr*stianity is just as "violent" as islam because of the Book of Joshua. No one except me seems to realize that the Book of Joshua is a Jewish book! I'd like to know what these clowns think Judaism is . . . probably "nineteenth century" garment worker socialism.
It was Ralph Peters. And as I commented there Peters uses a faulty moral equation. He conflates God's acts in Joshua with the acts the Koran urges of mere men.
"As for the books and Web sites listing all those passages encouraging violence against the infidel, well, we could fill entire libraries with bloody-minded texts from the Christian past. And as a believing Christian, I must acknowledge that there's nothing in the Koran as merciless as God's behavior in the Book of Joshua. "

This isn't really surprising at all, despite a rise in anti-semitic attacks. The thing is very few people hate Jews, and I've come across an incredibly small few in my entire life - but those who do hate Jews REALLY hate Jews, far more than people who dislike other religous groups.
We're #1! We're #1!
People who associate the conquest of Canaan with chr*stianity must think that Moses spent all his time handing out gospel tracts to try to get the Egyptians to go to the Baptist church.
I hate anachronism!
Very profound, Nutmeg. Sounds like you don't know a nit about "Jew stuff" or what people like, or even grammar, for that matter. Best you stick to what you do best, whatever that is.
It seems we are in for a rise in Marcionism.
