Tommy, trust me...I know. There are a race of people that call themselves Jewish. Just like there are Irish people that call themselves Irish, and Italian people that call themselves Italian; there are also people that are Jewish. I know, I have tons of friends that are Jewish, and they call themselves Jewish, because that is there ethnicity, not because its there religion. Plus there is a guy on here that posted on this thread and said that he is jewish, not because it's his religion necessarily, because it might be his ethnicity. My friend is jewish, but her religion is Christianity. Got it?

Tommy read Fyodor's post that he put on this thread earlier. Do you know about the whole fiasco with Hitler during world war II and the jewish people??? How he murdered 6 million Jewish people??? These people, like Fyodor's post said, are the decendants of the Hebrews in the holy bible that escaped from egypt. Which makes them a race of people. I mean you even heard your dad say it too. They have dark feautures like italians; but they are jewish.

I said I was Jewish, and I am. But that's my religion, I'm of Russian ethnicity. Someone cant be Jewish and Christian at the same time unless their parents are one of each and the kid follows both. Being Jewish, I have many Jewish friends. And they all look very different. The point of an ethnicity is that they have common traits, but that's not something I see in my friends. I believe you are confusing the words "Jewish" and "Isreali", as in Isreal the country and Isrealites, the group that escaped from Egypt. They kinda match your description. And Hebrew is the name of the language, that's neither a ethnicity or a religion. It used to be used to denote ethnicity, but it was replaced with Isreali. Things like this happen. Anyway, confusing those three words is common, because people dont really care enough to distinguish between em, just like I dont know the difference between Priest, Minister, and Pastor. I forgive you if you forgive me.

dont make me come over there and smack you upside the head. Is anyone else finding scottfab increasingly angry and offensive? **I think he may have had reason to be angry. In that case I think he was more offended than offensive. I'm locking this thread (I'm sorry, PrettyinPink You don't deserve this - maybe Noah may PM you if he comes back?) And as I'm in the mood for being vindictive, i'm going to ban at random if I see anybody winding anybody up - Hail**
