6. many orthodox jews...

have been brainwashed that Obama is muslim, was educated in Muslim schools and hates Israel...not all orthodox jews feel this way but a definite majority does unfortunately...it's really scary....

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. The Hasids Are Anti-Choice And Anti-Gay

Too much Leviticus and Deuteronomy...

8. most orthodox jews...

are pro choice...it's the chasidic community that is anti-choice...the chasidic community makes up a very small % of the orthodox jews....

3. Those are numbers I've been saying. Numbers I can live with.

Numbers that indicate sentient beings.

Good. Thanks for posting this.

4. With the exception of the far right fundamentalist Jews..we will always choose the most intelligent

Candidate. Education achievement is probably the #1 value of American Jews. We also strongly believe that clear intelligence and competence confers leadership.

5. Damn, I thought it was at 74% or so last time the numbers were examined.

10. it will be

75-25 when all the voting is done. Republicans always overperform in these polls.

11. I don't think it will get to 75%...

I will be happy with 70%....there are some in the jewish community that feel Obama is anti Israel...no jewish person felt that way about Kerry in 2004...

9. is the story true that in the "end times" all the Jews will be killed?

I don't believe in this but I went to Bill Maher's movie and he said that is one reason the Christian's (fundies) are so pro-Jew. They are at the place where the reappearance of Jesus will take place and the Jews will all be killed because they refused the truth.

I'm not religious so it doesn't make sense, why would they have to be there other than to make it possible for Christian's to get there, they couldn't if the Muslim's wouldn't let them in to the area.

My Aunt (devote Catholic) once said that the Jew's had it half right. Like me she was (she's now suffers from Alzheimer's)very interested in the holocaust - I thought she might be interested in it for the same reasons as I, I am dumb struck by some lengths hate and contempt will take people and am constantly trying to understand the why. Now I wonder if she had another reason.

12. yes

But in the same storybook, they say Moses raised his giant staff and parted the 'red sea', Jesus turned water to wine, Bush burned (har har), snakes talked, and many other ridiculous things of pure fiction.

Religion is false, and has been proven such. How does the quote go? "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.".

On the other hand, God is true. It is unfortunate so many think religion = God.

13. Here's the basic outline, as the fundies teach it

1) The Rapture happens and all Christians are beamed up to Heaven by JC.

2) The 7 year Tribulation and reign of the Antichrist begins.

3) As the Jews are now the only ones left on the planet who believe in The One True God, it's up to them to tell the rest of the planet about God, and ensure that they don't follow the Antichrist who is the spawn of Satan.

4) 144,000 Jews - 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel - accept JC as the Messiah and are sealed by God and protected from the Antichrist, and given the mission to preach JC as Messiah to their own people and the rest of the world.

5) Many people will mistakenly believe Antichrist is the Messiah. These people will burn in Hell if they die during the Tribulation, and the odds aren't good: 75% of the population will die during AC's reign.

6) Those who remain alive at the second coming of Christ would likely accept him as Messiah after they see him kick Satan & AC's asses. If that doesn't convince them, then 1000 years of peace should take care of it.

That's the general idea, anyway.

14. Yet another demographic they said Obama wouldn't be able to "seal the deal" with.
