I'll be honest here, it's all nice and well to say that, but just today my thoughts drifted to two occasions where Christians attempted to force Jews to abandon their faith. As a matter of fact, both were public arguments regarding matters of faith, and in at least one of them it's widely believed that the Jew won - and then had to flee the country for fear of prosecution. Un-christlike, perhaps. But Christians did show a tendency of working this way. And now I may have antagonised you along with 80% of the Shard. So, well, maybe I should accept that this isn't supposed to be inherent in Christianity any more than it is in Judaism. No one here tried to force me to convert, after all. So, sorry for the harsh reply, but I'm not sure I was overly surprised to learn of the Lavater incident. I guess Christians at the time were simply convinced that if someone is smart they have to agree with them.

What is the messianic ideal. My understanding was that messianic jews were those that believe Jesus Christ was the redeemer, but also hold to Jewish practices as well, but your article has cast some doubt on that subject.

Kinda ridiculous that the guy said disprove or join. There are things that seem contradictory in any worldview, secular ones included. Not to mention it's just un-christlike.

I have no idea how many you missed, you didn't reply since the first one... So it's two at max. Somewhat similarly to our PM (if slightly worse in this case), I'm slow to write those and procrastinate a lot. There should be only one more in this specific series, then it's moving on to Eastern Europe. One day I might attempt to talk more about Mizrahi Jews, too.

I need to log in again more often. This is very interesting @Trutharchivist How many of these have I missed?!? (Also, I promise you, before the end of the weekend I'll have responded to our outstanding PM(s) - I'll try to get it done before the end of today!)

Providing new information is one of the many services we provide Huh ... I probably should watch some of those videos at some point then. Though if you're interested in an ... interesting play of some Sith Lords (well, they become Sith Lords ...) check out SFDebris's videos: https://sfdebris.com/videos/games/swtorinq.php (Sith Inquisitor, though he steers more Dark Side) https://sfdebris.com/videos/games/swtorsw.php (Sith Warrior, and one of his better series, goes for a Grey Sith) Looking forwards to the future posts!
