Yup, as many as by "good" Muslims, or "good" Jews.. Those folks who
commit horrors are only considered "good' by themselves and their
followers.. Unlike "good" liberals from the looney left who are pretty
much the mainstream, you know, intolerant, selfish, and lacking any
real moral core..
There are lots of rules "good Jews" have to follow in order to be
considered good Jews.

I suspect your understanding of Christianity is suspect. I've had the
privilege of some friendly discussions the last few years with some nuns
and priests in academia, and in addition to exchanging pleasantries, we
do discuss what a "good" Christian would say or do under various
scenarios. Though I am not a Christian, I agreed completely with the
nuns that there are rules for being a good Christian, and they go way
beyond simply "believing."

The other day here I mentioned the Sermon on the Mount. Following those
precepts and rules probably is a good start.- Hide quoted text -

This is how you twist and take out of context.. I never said I was a
"good" Christian, don't think John did either... Either way, most
Christians know there is no perfect Christian, and any Christian,
academic or otherwise that does not leave judgement of such to the
Lord is just an idiot and a hypocrite. And of course "you agree with
the nuns", however based on your history and the ideology, it's a non
starter as the alleged conversation probably never happened. Again, if
you really understood Christianity, you would know that. Now tell us
again about "Jesus on a stick at Christmas" Pffftttt... you are full
of ****, as usual...

Harry is basing his guess about my religion on a couple Christmas carols I
posted here. He has no idea if I even go to church.

Now he'll probably start putting down my Jewish faith.

Remember, this is the guy with the Maryland Red barn (and lots of guns in
his desk), and a 3/4 mile driveway, and five acres of yard to mow. I
wouldn't't mess with him if I were you.

Besides, if you look at the last three days, you'll see that the boy
answers you more if you *don't* talk to him!

I thought I was the only Jew in rec.boats! The damn problem with that
video is too many people are going to want to convert (how did you like
a Jew wearing a Catholic School Girl uniform. The only thing worst than
an "ex-smoker" is a converted Jew.

Gosh, it's started already.
