| Religion Definition |
| are you mono or polytheistic? |
Mono |
| do you subscribe to a major religion? |
Yes. Judaism (Reform Movement) |
| how do you feel about Jesus? |
Interesting fellow. Probably existed. His followers perverted his words in ways he never imagined. |
| what holy book do you feel is most accurate (Bible, Koran, etc) |
I believe the the Torah contains essential wisdom captured in various ways. I’m not, however, a literalist. |
| do you believe in reincarnation? |
No. Karma, on the other hand… |
| do you believe in the traditional heaven and hell? |
No. |
| do you believe in ANY heaven and/or hell? |
Heaven or hell is the life we make for ourselves here on Earth. Christianity was successful because it let people believe there was something better after death, which can’t be proven (belief). Judaism (more realistically), believes that one must make the best life one can now. |
| do you think the god(s) are vengeful or nice? |
I’m a bit more deist in this aspect: God gives us our life and the tools we need. Its up to us to screw it up or not. |
| do you believe in angels? |
No. |
| do you believe in miracles? |
Re: Miracles: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. (A.C. Clarke) |
| do you believe in predestination? |
No. |
| do you believe in original sin? |
Not a Jewish concept. |
| do you believe in freedom of will? |
Yes. It is our choice. From Deut.: See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil,… |
| do you believe in souls? |
No. |
| what do you think will happen to you when you die? |
See: “There’s a Hair in My Dirt! A Worm’s Story” by Gary Larson. |
| do you think there will be an armageddon? |
Only if we retain the current administration. |
| why do you think we exist? |
Because the odds were in our favour. |
| do you believe in life on other planets? |
Yes. Because the odds are in its favour. |
| do you believe in evolution? |
Yes. Because the odds are in its favour. It isn’t belief thought, it’s fact |
| do you think religion and science will always oppose the other? |
For fundamentalists, yes. For others, no. |
| what would you say to God if you met him/her/them today? |
Thank you. |
| anything else we should know? |
Hillel summed it up best: What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow man. This is the core of Judaism. The rest is mere commentary. |
