Jews don’t follow the ‘old testament.’

The Jewish view on homosexuality is concerned with the act not civil marriage (which isn’t recognized by God), and the Jew can repent for such acts. I’m not going to give Hebrew lessons on a thread like this, but do know ‘death’ as a penalty is commonly interpreted by Jews as ‘away from God.’

There were Jews in this country before the Declaration of Independence. Early settlers came here for religious freedom.

If ever there is a Jewish president, the ‘no working on the Sabbath’ would apply to Friday night sundown to sundown on Saturday.

There is nothing in the US constitution or the Declaration of Independence establishing Christianity as the official religion of this country.

You don’t really address the point of the message to which you are responding; That Abraham and Sarah having children when it was impossible to do so is the reason that society accepts marriage for non-fertile women, and has incorporated the practice into it’s laws.
