[quote=Anonymous][quote] I was responding to the OP who said she wasn't religious but still thought she was chosen. You even agreed this was an irrational statement by the OP. [/quote]

I went back and OP said that she was undecided about G-d. That is NOT the same as being an atheist.  In my eyes it is someone wrestling with faith, lacking certainty, perhaps considering different views of what G-d is as well as if G-d exists.

You seem to want to tie up everything into a neat package of "belief in G-d"  That just is not the way Judaism as a living religious tradition  works.  It is not a set of propositions you check off yes or no to. It is a set of practices, engaged in by communities - even within a given community people will differ about the meaning of what they are doing.  The only real way to understand this is to live it - short of that, you could read more about it in books.  Going online and getting frustrated because Jews do not fit the categories you have around "religion" "race" etc is not going to help you understand. And again, it does not seem to me you are here to understand. You are here to argue.   Belligerently.   [/quote]
