I am a goy, and one thing I really dont like about Judaism is that separation of people into sorts. Like you can't cheat or make losses to a Jew, but then you are more than welcome to do that to a Christian or to a Muslim, and othe cases of discrimination of goys according to the Talmud. But then, I despise every sort of religion, so it's nothing personal. I could go on and critize every religion in the world.
Here we go...we get snippets about this religion or that religion and take them as truths...
Josh, I respect you and you may be right, but would you kindly let us know where it says that "you can't cheat or make losses to a Jew, but then you are more than welcome to do that to a Christian or to a Muslim, and other cases of discrimination of goys according to the Talmud", and is it a credible place where you got this info from?
Some things that we grow up with are untruths, and promoted as generalities, or stereotypes, because of ignorance (I don't mean stupidity, I mean just not knowing the facts.) Like I said above, you may be right, but show us.
It seems incongruous to me that on this forum we always quote where we got our information from when it's a story about Amy, which, after all, is really and truly only about entertainment, ( I don't mean to minimize entertainment; I know she's very important to us - we love Amy to pieces and really care for her viscerally - I'm addicted to her, just like a lot of us here) but when it comes to slagging an entire mainstream religion we feel free to spout anything...seems just like the tabloids that we detest, no?!
Had to get this off my chest. Thanks.:shrug:

Edit: btw, there are multiple religions in my family, which you may have guessed.

Actually I was thinking about it. But I just dont remember. It was a Russian translation of some semi-religious Jewish book, I don't even recall the title of it. I remember when it became public some two years ago, there was an uproar in the Russian parliament about it, but I don't think they passed anything about it ultimately, coz the rabbies were arguing that it's a historic text etc. and doesn't necessarily reflect the current reality. It looked like a code of conduct for me. I will try to find the title of the book and the link, I am 100% sure it must be available somewhere on the net, and most probably even in English. Like I said, I read parts of it in Russian which I don't think you can. If I don't manage to find an English copy, I will try to back-translate some of the most controversial points.
I knew it was a fickle topic when I made my post above, and I would like to stress that I don't represent any religion at all and I don't see no value in any religion. I hope I'm seeing every religion from a pretty neutral point of view. No offense to the Jewish people, I'd criticize the Roman Catholic church as well, if it was about them this time.

Well I found the name of the book, it's the Shulchan Aruch. However I can't find a full text English translation of it online, but it seems that you can find one in a library. The ones that I see online are partial translations, and obviously the most controversial parts are not included.
Here's what Wikipedia says about the Shulchan Aruch.
The Shulchan Aruch (Hebrew: שולחן ערוך, literally: "Set Table") (also Shulchan Arukh) is a codification, or written catalogue, of halacha (Jewish law), composed by Rabbi Yosef Karo in the 16th century. It, together with its commentaries, is considered by the vast majority of Orthodox Jews to be the most authoritative compilation halakha since the Talmud, with the exception of a minority who continue to hold by the Mishneh Torah. The Shulchan Aruch has come to simply be referred to as the Code of Jewish Law due to its popular appeal.
If you REALLY REALLY want me to list some of the most controversial moments, please let me know, because I'm afraid they would seem pretty outrageous to most people. And we don't want to spark religious hate here between Jews and Christians, do we?

I guess she wasn´t quite religious but she believed in god and was very proud and respectful to her religion, you can notice, everywhere she went, she was standing as a jewish girl and often wear a necklace with the star of david.
in this gif, she appears kissing that necklace

about me, i don't care about any religion, even i was baptized as catholic i'm AGNOSTIC since I was a teenager. Belief in supreme beings has no sense for me.
