FWIW, I identify as a Jewish Humanist Atheist.
You have no idea what kind of flack I get from some Jewish friends and
relatives who say- "How can one be Jewish *and* Atheist"?
One thing I have always been confused by-is being Jewish a religion or a
race? It seesm to me the latter, tho i have heard people deny this.
Letting go of the idea of a god/God years ago, has been the most liberating,
wonderful thing that has happened to me. I call it my religious experience in
reverse...
good for you. I had a similar experience when i let go of the God I was
taught about.
At my temple, our rabbi is gay.
Good God!;-)
Anyway, I won't be entering in many of these discussions mainly because my
feelings, my "take" on all of this has little backing because of my lack of
knowledge of religious history. I can only speak from my own reality and 49
years on this earth.
I think that quailifes you to speak. Beside which, we hear far too
little from you nowadays.
