I’d say ‘secular, progressive’ in front of Jew is the point of that post. It implies a man untrue to his faith. An apostate. Lost. Therefore, not to be trusted for anything. IMO.

And you’d be wrong.

The only thing that goes before Jew is Orthodox, Conservative or Reform. Secular progressive is political, not religious.

And offensive to me.

Do you see me calling anyone a Liberation Theology Catholic on here? No, because Catholicism has no real tie-in to the religion as most Catholics practice it.

Thank You! That was my point. And Roggy’s next post postulated that SP has no place in front of the word Jew. I disagree! He wants to separate the religious from the ethnicity, and I don't see how you can do that. He seems to want to “dismiss” SP Jews as not really being Jewish. I guess by the way he thinks, if they are not participating in the religious elements of Judaism, they aren't really Jews despite having been born Jewish. And again, he could still call them out for being apostates if what they were doing bothered him. It's sorta lik the guy who really likes the a$$hole who represents him in Congress, but all the other reps are the problem.
