They are agnostic Jews.
Liberal Jews are the most bizarre folks I’ve ever come across.
They are The Only Nation with God’s Fingerprints on them and they decide to toss that winning lottery ticket away as if it’s a curse.
Zechariah 8:23 (Not fulfilled yet)
This is what the LORD Almighty says: “In those days ten people from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’”
Jewish guilt? Wouldn’t be surprising if that is the answer. No other religious group has been more despised by others, religious and non-religious than any other group, and for generations. There was a brief time following WWII where this was not the case and Jews were by and large much more conservative.
As I tell my Jewish friends, Jews in many areas are among the smartest people in the world. Politically they are among the biggest idiots.
Jewish atheists? Does not compute!
You can’t support abortion and be ANY kind of theist, because murder is a direct attack on the primary image of God in our world, created by God himself—the innocent human person.
Maybe this is like how bumble bees can’t fly, according to the laws of aerodynamics. But, they manage it. As a majority of Jews manage to be liberal. I don’t know if they are managing well to be Jewish, but they are managing to be liberal.
Liberal Jews are less Jewish because their religion is liberalism, Socialism or Communism. In other words, they are JINOs.
Before anyone blames me, I am Jewish, and have noticed this for decades. This study is hardly groundbreaking.
In my experience, Jewish and Liberal are virtually synonymous.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg..... An all too true caricature of the liberal Jew.This comment kills me: a Berkeley professor who gets it?????
Quoted comment from Jjournal:
Christopher Arend University of California, Berkeley, Boalt Hall
Liberals in the USA used to stand for individual freedom, equality under the law and for a strong posture against totalitarian systems.. That was in the 1950s and 1960s. 21st century liberals, however, are a fearful lot who look to big government to tuck them it at night. They would regulate our lives in every respect in the name of combatting the chimera of climate change. They are gutless examples of the Stockhom syndrom in the face of international challenges from Islamic extremisim, the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians and even North Korea. Liberals are panicked by the idea of a free market economy, while at the same time benefitting from the fact that the more regulation and interference by government, the more the opportunity for playing favorites in crony capitalism. Liberals allow themselves to be played the fool by Black Lives Matter and other shakedown specialists such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton because liberals dread the idea of being called “racist”. Remember how Bernie Sanders allowed BLM activists to completely disrupt a public appearance several months ago? Liberals are also almost without exception intellectually lazy when challenged on an issue, resorting to ad hominem as soon as they run out of platitudes, or simply lying (e.g. Benghazi, email scandal). In a word, 21st liberals are “decadent” in the truest sense of the word, namely, they are a product of a society that has become weaker and moved far away from the principles of individual liberty and individual responsibiliy.
End quote. Me clapping.
I am about to join a very liberal synagogue. I am dreading “coming out” there and disagreeing with the whole, probably nice, congregation. I fantasize that I stay closeted for a while ... It is hard to have a decent social life in a Jewish liberal community. But their preschool is exactly what we want. And they give you a membership along with paying for the school. The other preschool has a lesbian rabbi. I’m good.
I hold that you can’t be Christian and liberal or even a Democrat
A Jew outside of the Land of Israel under Jewish sovereignty is always going to be dysfunctional in any other culture. God intends it that way.
