This comment makes me question your knowledge of the Old Testament and the Talmud. I hope you are willing to follow though on this debate to its conclusion. This sub is not like /s/debatealtright with its intolerably low average IQ. Here I welcome intelligent debate from all points of view.

I think I should give my background so that you know where I am coming from. I am racially jewish and was raised atheist with no exposure to jewish religion or culture. My father was part of the Hungarian upper class and had a German nanny as most of the Hungarian upper class did. I would say that I was raised with a mix of American and upper class European values. Being naturally curious, I explored all major western religions including Judaism. With my racial pass I was able to attend orthodox synagogue and classes on Judaism there. In addition I paid for personal classes with the rabbi. So I think I have a better inside view of Judaism than most critics of Judaism have.

My conclusion of my investigation of Judaism was that I hate Judaism and the Talmud, but I love the Old Testament. It makes perfect sense to me that the dominant religion of Europe during its peak (Christianity) would include the Old Testament in its scripture. Your comments about the Old Testament are just wrong and I would gladly answer any specific questions you have. You could just as well ask any well-informed Christian and he would also be able to answer your questions. I list some resources about the Old Testament versus the Talmud here.

I don't know much about Stephen Jay Gould, but many jewish scientists were certainly liberal. Liberalism is subversive but is not parasitic. So this doesn't support your position that Jews are genetically parasitic. Of course not all jewish scientists were liberal. For example John von Neumann had a similar background to mine and was very conservative (and he converted to Catholicism).

    Am I literally the last person on Earth willing to engage in intelligent debate? It seems that way.
