Well, I was going to argue that with comparable amounts of education, they could earn a lot more in another calling/profession, but I won’t complain as this board is dangerously low on Rabbi-bashing threads compared to the number of pastor, priest or iman bashing threads. P.S. I always get a strong urge to capitalise iman, I think I’ll start a “I pit Mrs Bowie” thread. ---

Myself, I’ve never figured out why the say “The rabbi died” whenever someone gets pregnant. But dollars to doughnuts says its some sort of borderline anti-Semitic bloodlust! ---

> [@Farmer\_Jane](#): > > Clearly the OP is Nazi, since Jews aren’t a race. Depends on your definition of ‘race’ but there is something to be said for rabbis, in particular, belonging to a seperate ehrmm… ‘genetic strain’. If they are _cohanim_, that is. Their line does indeed seem to go back to the original temple priests. Most other Ashkenasi Jews don’t carry this gene. ---

I routinely use the phrase to precede mundane statements. “I’m not racist, but I could really go a cup of tea just now” Baffled recipient: “What’s racist about tea?” “Weren’t you listening. I said I wasn’t a racist.” ---

> [@Rhythmdvl](#): > > Jews get it even worse than everyone else from religion. In addition to all the effects it causes in terms of warping one’s morality, making it easier to believe other forms of bullshit, and making you easily manipulable by politicians, the “Jew Rabbi” is perhaps the ultimately loathsome parasite in the U.S. Jew Temples in poor areas take money that people don’t have and use it to support unbelievably lavish lifestyles of people who inherit the positions from their fathers. What “Jew Rabbis” do to their communities, poverty-wise, is absolutely disgusting, and they are on the whole the most immoral people I’ve ever met, for this and other reasons. > > Now, you may respond that these generalizations of the Jewish religious community are a little\* harsh\*, but > > the truth hurts. Try working in sales or retail sometime and dealing with a “Rabbi.” I can forgive the insistence that everyone is “Dr. The Rabbi” whatever–the sort of Pokemon-like accumulation of meaningless degrees from intellectually worthless Bible colleges is hardly unique to any religious group in the world. But the thing is that even though these “rabbis” live high on the hog from what they leech off their communities, they still demand bribes and kickbacks before they will spend Temple money on anything, and of course they wave their tax-exempt status around on everything they purchase even though most of it is going to personal use. The adulation that big-nose ladies have for these scumsuckers lets them get.away with murder. When thoroughly corrupt con artists holding inherited sinecures are the only leadership your community has, and they’re robbing you besides, it’s worth denouncing strongly. > > Actually, maybe it’s not just the leadership; > > the biggest problem with Jewish Temples is that too many of them tend to excuse white collar criminal members. > > Cites: > [Condescending](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15080592&postcount=31) [Robot](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15080915&postcount=35) > [Qin Shi Huangdi](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15080719&postcount=34) I dont hate, but Im going to post a hate filled rant based on hate.

Don’t mind **Qin** ; he’s just at that funny age where the hormones are going haywire. Hour after hour locked in his bedroom with his “Men of the SS” beefcake calendar, chatting on his Princess phone with other _Hitlerjugend_ and practicing writing “Curtis Pieper” and “Mrs. Joachim Pieper” over and over in loopy cursive with heart-dotted i’s. ---

This has nothing to do with the issue. His hate for religion. In fact, his hate just makes him seethe more when people of Faith screw up. Its magnified to him. Like when a Republican screws up and Demcocrats Pile on. Or when a Yankee screws up and the Red Sox fans pile on. \ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-not-a-racist-but-i-have-some-strong-opinions-on-rabbis/622549.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-not-a-racist-but-i-have-some-strong-opinions-on-rabbis/622549.md?page=4)
