Right now, I do not see any significant presence of conservative Jews or several other religious persuasions posting in the religion forum. I also know of several conservative Mormons who not only were driven from the religion forum, but left FR completely.

Big tent theory, eh? Sorry, I don't buy into that BS. Truly, you're not trying to convince me that conservative Jews are ~scared off~ by the vitriol of the Religon forum? You know what I see? I see Jews embracing a certian type of evangelical Christian. I see Jews accepting a form of christianity that furthers their cause. What would it benefit them to antagonize a large financial supporter of theirs? From their point of view I can understand why they choose not to participate

Ah, the Mormons. We should accept the Mormons because of their conservative beliefs. Or should we? Senator Hatch believes in cloning. Is it possible that Senator Hatch's agreement with cloning has to do with a Mormon belief system? I think that is a very strong possibility. When one understands the Mormon belief in heavenly progeny then it is plausible to understand why Senator Hatch would agree in principle with cloning. It seems ones theology does affect ones politic.

Your buying into it is not a requirement. However, your adhering to the guidelines we set is a requirement if you are going to be a participant here.

Thanks, LM

Unbelievable. Its typical that you would think a Jew participating in a religious forum is merely a financial decision. Yo malakhi? Is this why you participate?

I don't think the evangelical Christians who support Israel are under any illusion that there is an imminent mass conversion of Jews afoot. They know that our beliefs are different. And they support Israel because of what they believe, not because of what we believe.

I think that most of the time freeper Jews choose not to participate because the threads posted are not of interest to us.
