What could be more threatening than the 10 commandments, introduced to the world through the Jewish religion. All those who murder, disresepct their parents, lie - particularly under oath, commmit adultery, blashpheme or worship false gods are threatened by the 10 commandments - just so long as they do not wish to reform. ---

Oh, and surely the board isn’t now banning people simply because of unpopular views? I hope this ORION fellow wasn’t banned because of this OP. Ignorant it may be, but he or she is entitled to their ignorant opinion, IMHO. ---

Eh, Revtim, you’ve been here long enough to know that people aren’t banned just for having ignorant or unpopular views. One reason for the quick banning of the OP might be that he’s a returning sock puppet. ---

The OP was banned around a year ago for various excesses. I had not paid too much attention to the Username on the OP until after I had hit Submit. The “banned” label under its name was not placed there today, but many months ago. ---

I guess it would have to be a new incarnation, since the OP was posted today. ---

Yes, the Jewish religion is a threat to us all. Tonight, at the Passover seder, Aunt Estelle was waving the lamb shank around in a most threatening manner. And my mother-in-law’s matzo apple kugel? It’ll kill ya! ---

OK, I have a couple of questions and I think I’m i the right place for some answers. First, I hope Orion wasn’t banned for an opposing view. Do the moderators post why they make these decisions (I’m new and still getting a feel for this)? NOw for questions on Judaism…OK, is the ‘chosen people’ concept widely accepted amoungst the general jewish population? If a person converts to Judaism are they then ‘chosen’, as well? I guess what I really want to know is it an exclusionary religion? Please don’t label me antisemetic. I was raised Catolic and now live in the bible belt soooooo I don’t have alot of Jewish friends to ask such questions to. ---

**Pixiegrrrl** –As the above posters have stated, “Orion” is a banned poster from long ago. You have some good questions about Judaism, which I’m sure many would be glad to answer. I don’t think this godforsaken thread is gonna be the best place to get good answers, though. Maybe try IMHO? ---

> [@](#): > > Lisnen, boychik, next time you and several thousand of your closest friends are running from extermination, looking for a place to live, and manage to get a few hundred square miles of land, and form a govenment, and set up a life for youselves, and find yourself under attack by most of those around you, and try to survive and thrive, and face constant threat of extermination, and so on and so forth, I’de love to see how you set up shop so that anyone is welcome, but yet you still protect yourself/friends/family. You may be more likely to grant citizenship to those who you believe share a common desire for a safe place to live. Just gimme a holler when you’ve done it, then we’ll talk. > > Darn, I just remembered your MO, what a waste of typing on my part. I don’t know what your cause is, but you ain’t helping it. S. Willy has a legitamate question which you answer with anger, rhetoric and EXCLUSIONARY principles. How do you know he’s not of native american descent and understands your hurt and anger but chooses not to align himself with more of what’s killing the world. Is anyone who is not Jewish entitled to an opnion about what’s going on? ---

Hmmm, I just realized that a “questions on Judaism” thread would prolly be better in GD. That’s where religion stuff tends to gravitate. There may be existing threads on this subject already. Try doing a search in the meantime. ---
