How does that work? Do we have part catholics, part anglicans and part wiccans? The world gets to complicated for me when other people get involved.

Little witty sub-threads like this are why b3ta should never ever have a stage show.

I can just imagine an audience full of pre-schoolers shouting "TOAP!!!" over and over again. Oh wait, no. That's /board.

is anything other than being in yet another archaic religious cult.
At least being a jedi has got to be more fun. And who's gonna persecute you when you have a fluorescent light that lops off hands?

I don't understand religions very much, haven't got the foggiest what Jewish actually means or stands for

maintaining the right to be a whingier bastard than anyone else in the world whilst occupying Palestine and ignoring more UN resolutions that all other nations in history combined.
Oh no, now even I'm doing it,, that's Israeli which is not necessarily Jewish.

Show me factual references that say semitic people are a race. The semites were a tribe of people ( arabs ) who may or may not have existed based on some stories that may or may not have some basis in fact.

all of the races of the near east have traceable genetic traits that identify them. so much so in fact that a tribe in south africa have been found to carry the genetic markers of the high priest class of ancient judah. i'll try and find a link.
here you are

what races are they then. The whole of that area are arabs, being from a different tribe does not make you genetically different from your neighbour.
Ansd please, i'll read dissertations and published works all day but I'll not have wiki thrown at me, I could make that say what I want right now.
There are 5 major races in the world and each have some sub groups but that's your lot. national identity or the sense of belonging to a tribe has nothing to do with race which is purely genetic.
I can become a jew tomorrow, I can never become Asian and that's all the fact you need to figure it out.

I suppose it depends on how much of a genetic difference you need to define a separate race.
I've also heard about genetics being used to trace how different groups of people form part of the British population,
and they were able to find distinguishing genetic characteristics between Celts, Vikings, Normans and so on.

and indeed I've had my genetics traced to the area of Southern Denmark populated by the Angles but what does that matter? my race remains Caucasian, sub group Northern European as it does for the celts and the normans. racially we are the same people ( on the whole, there will always have been exceptions with cross breeding as people migrated after the near extinction of homo sapien 70000 years ago.
we all have genetic modifications that develop over the generations but they are simply as a direct result of the parameters set by the areas in which we settle.
Being a person in Judea ( again, tribal ) who adopts the religion of the Canaanites ( escaping Egypt after Akenaten died and the 'one god' theory was dissolved by Tutankamun and his advisors can in no way make you racially different from the people around you. Everyone else in the area was arabian but the very small tribe of Judea, who took in and bred with the Egyption ( national again, not racial ) Canaanites suddenly became a separate race? You will have to do better than that.

I don't know what the definition is, and I don't think it matters much. And yes, it's all about adapting to your local circumstances,
for example the further away from the equator you get, the paler your skin will be, to balance vitamin D production against skin cancers.
Anyway, I'm not arguing against you particularly, it's just a matter of the semantics really.

you made me go all the way through that looking for 'an's.

on much more than semantics myself. Some people take my views that Jewishnesh is nothing more than a religious choice to mean I have some kind of deep rooted anti-semitism and nothing could be further from the truth. I'm all for globalism and loving your fellow man. The sooner we are all brown the better.
I just find it odd that intelligent people will maintain that national identity ( which is perceived ) has anything to do with racial traits ( which are actual0 and being an argumentative so and so I'll take issue with it.
I do have a problem with Isreal which is purely political and I do have a problem with all superstitious, religious cults and that's just common sense because there is no need to perpetuate these differences if we want civilisation to transcend to a better place.
But trust me, i'm all fluffy about it, all men are my brothers, just some are misguided.

And fully agreed with the political objections towards Israel.

Oh you have done. I'm not even going to try and figure out why my brain does not deserve the anguish.
