Hello, yes uhh.. quick question for Christian and Jewish people…

keshetchai: straightouttaeldamar: keshetchai: straightouttaeldamar: I’m re-watching the Prince of Egypt, and the whole God saying “totally, just kill a lamb and paint your door with it’s blood so I know not to kill your first born children” really strikes me as a ruthless Pagan God move… So my question is… What the fuck?

helloarmchairphilosopher: 2goldensnitches: killbenedictcumberbatch: gaymilesedgeworth: actually, i’m not just gonna leave that in the tags: Catholics used the Holocaust as an opportunity to steal and convert Jewish children. Catholic authorities refused to return the Jewish children they “saved” to their families after the Holocaust ended. we have no idea how many children we lost.  they used our…

spaceshipoftheseus: shedoesnotcomprehend: ilzolende: shedoesnotcomprehend: helpful hints for (other) clueless goyim with seder invitations(for those who would rather not learn the hard way)(obviously less-clueless jewish people with corrections/additions are <3333) do not try to bring any kind of food (or wine) as a hostess gift. just. don’t. otoh, offering to help in the kitchen is generally…

spaceisprettycool: ardatli: hagar-972: westsemiteblues: adrivenleaf: westsemiteblues: the-independent-jew: One thing I love about Judaism is that long involved conversations about things like “can a zombie attend shul?” or “can i use my pet dragon to light candles on shabbat?” or “is meat from a replicator kosher?” are seen as completely normal.

Things I’ve always wondered

swanjolras: eshusplayground: A gentile vampire turns a promising Torah scholar into a vampire. Is the scholar still permitted to study Torah? Are they still under the yoke of the mitzvot? How does vampirism impact observant Jewish practice? Are they still Jewish, or are they apostates? Would it be permissible for the scholar to turn other…
