I’m Jewish and I think all of Christianity is a cult. However, I can vote for people who identify themselves as Christians.

As long as the candidate shares my political/economic views it doesn’t matter much to me if he’s a Protestant, Jew, Catholic, Mormon, agnostic, etc. But I do have my line in the sand — islamics. And militant atheists. And black nationalist crypto islamic kenyans. I suspect everyone has their own line.

One so obviously enlightened as yourself would vote without a second thought for an avid member of Messianic Judaism who proclaims his superiority as a Jew. And I'm sure you would proclaim your open-minded and self-righteous message to all other American Jews everywhere you could find them.

Shalom.

“Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a common censor over each other. Is uniformity attainable? Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced an inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth.” —Thomas Jefferson Notes on Virginia. 1782

“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between church and State.”
-letter to Danbury Baptist Association, CT “The Complete Jefferson” by Saul K. Padover, pp 518-519

Article VI, paragraph 3
U.S. Constitution

Works for me.
