> You stated that Jewish tradition affects gentiles. Despite my repeated requests for you to back this statement up, you haven’t.

**Zev Steinhardt,** I asked you a long while back if you even cared about how Jewish traditions affect gentiles. Your answer? “I don’t care”. You are a waste of keystrokes. If you decide to care about us gentiles give me a shout. Otherwise, continue on your path of not caring about others that may be affected by your religious practices. I hope God cares about you in exact respect to how much you care about others.

> So, now, Sweet Willy, let me tell you again: you cannot have atheist Jews. Jewish law does not recognize them as atheists.

Many people here have confessed to being athiest Jews.  
**Attention Athiest Jews: You do not exist. Stop posting here.**
