172. Judaism
Don't tell me you've gone and done the same thing you criticized above. That is pick the one definition of many that if interpreted in the way you like can back up your contradiction. The one definition that in practice is basically unheard of.

You said cannot be separated from Judaism. Judaism is a religion not a group of people of a particular ancestry. Then when I called you on it you changed your story. Now it wasn't about the religion it was about people of Jewish ancestry.
