Jews and Scientology suck balls! Stupid religions and very harmful. Oh hey Ive got this extra bit of skin, don't worry we'll cut the thing off. Yay now it looks like a mushroom! Why the hell do they circumcise? where is it that god doesn't have a foreskin? God made us in his image so why not lets just lob off part of our body
Again Jews suck balls -

''I still don't understand why the mother is required to be jewish for a child to be jewish.''
It is just old school racism that is protected, rather than challenged, by racists and bigots who want to look non-racist by hypocritically supporting any element of Jewish intolerance. It is because Judaism and Christian have a lot of immoral messages in their ''law codes'' and dogma, which luckily many younger Jew16d0s do not follow.
''The Jewish mother rule was created so that Jewish men would have no moral obligations to any children they had with gentile women. There's no other reason behind it.''
As much as comments like this often border on anti-Semitism, I am afraid to say that you are correct.
If you are sick of the ''I love Jesus 100% signature'', copy and paste this into your profile! -

Reading this thread has fascinated me on the grounds that this was a first I had heard of Jews requiring a Jewish mother in order to remain a part of that faith based system (prior to this conversation, all I knew about Judaism was the following: they follow the Kosher diet, celebrate Hanukkah, worship at a synagogue, attend Sabbath, circumcision, hold Bar Mitzvah). In hindsight, knowledge on the Jewish ancestry is somewhat good (re: The Holocaust, ancient homeland was in modern day Israel, multiple events in the Israeli/Palestinian feud, one lineage could be through an Ashkernazi Jew. My apologies on the misspelling, if any).
Nevertheless, a friend of mine who is of Hispanic descent practices the Jewish faith so I asked him one day if either parent had Jewish ancestry and/or was a Jew via Judaism. According to him, neither issue applied and therefore he was drawn to the religion on his own journey.
Interesting topic. Thanks all!

I wonder why, from the many people who have changed to the religion of their spouse for the sake of marriage, over 90% are women and less than 10% are men.
I also wonder why in many religions it is more socially acceptable for a boy/man to marry 'outside the religion' than for a girl/woman to marry 'outside the religion'.
Maybe the two phenomena are somehow connected.
