I don’t believe in God, though I’m not prepared to call myself an atheist either. You know the old phrase: ‘There are no atheists in foxholes.’ I’ve never been in a foxhole, and if I ever find myself in a foxhole, I’ll let you know if I believe in God or not.
Ed Asner
Sorry Eddie. Aint no middle ground with God. You either believed or you don’t. You didn’t. Thanks for playing. Enjoy your perminent hole.

Asner is a Jew. His real first name is Yitzhak.I have several friends who are Jews and are Christians. In the early church, there was a controversy about whether gentiles could be Christian.

Hopefully, Ron Perlman and Sean Penn will soon take the boat ride to hell.
At least Ed Anser kept to himself in old age, while those two Bolshevik clowns continue to grate on a daily basis.

Ah, but there is a hidden, little-known edit function. It's called proof-reading.

“Can a person be a Communist and a Christian?”
Probably not. You can’t even be a Democrat and be a Christian.

Wonder if he was secular Jew, messianic Jew, or remained an orthodox Jew?
