Threadjack on Abrahamic religions (specifically Judaism)

...OK, when me and Il Ruffino do the whole 'anti-semitic paranoid rant' thing, it's funny because it's satire.

...when you do it, it's pathetic because you hate Jews.I have no emotional connexion to the issue, thus I don't hate Jews. I only reject what they represent. They are the offspring of a bad ideology, that's all. But thank Yah there's only 15 million or so of them, so they are in fact an irrelevant group. What is really unfortunate for humanity is that their bad ideology was spread by Christianity to the global level (including their attitude towards sex).

Thank Yah? I think you mean thank Hitler.

And he never said he "hated" Jews either. No one hated Jews. With cool, "Aryan" feigned detachment he merely dehumanized and mass-murdered them.

So yeah, go on "rejecting" them, like a good little anti-semite. My point remains.

And yet you seem to have no qualms when some of the same issues pop up in relation to Catholicism.

Woah guys, is this about religion or sexuality now?

Let's stick to one volatile subject at a time, shall we?

Or "Aryans" (as if something like Aryans in the nazi interpretation ever existed) ? Because you can think of no other reason to not find Judaism to have any value than what Hitler may have thought? Can you not imagine that someone rejects Judaism because of what's in the Tanakh, the Talmud, and ancient history? Judaism was a bad ideology way before anyone like Hitler existed. You see, the natural opposite of Judaism and subsequently Jewishness isn't national socialism, but emancipation from abrahamic religions.
And yet you seem to have no qualms when some of the same issues pop up in relation to Catholicism.What issues? Issues about sexuality? Well, guess where Catholics copied their positions on sexuality from. They use the same Old Testament, don't they? They pray to the Jew-ish god and follow his rules, don't they?

You almost sound like you're convinced being an anti-semite is a negative thing - even when you clearly have no qualms being one. So, why the argument? Why not just nod and say, "Ja, I'm an anti-semite. I hate the Jews."

And why do you refer to Hitler now?

You referred to being thankful for the small number of Jews. Hitler contributed to the small number of Jews. You are an anti-semite. Hitler was an anti-semite.

Kinda seems relevant somehow. Maybe you can think about it with your ubermensch brain and connect the dots.

Because you can think of no other reason to not find Judaism to have any value than what Hitler may have thought?

Miss - see above.

Can you not imagine that someone rejects Judaism because of what's in the Tanakh, the Talmud, and ancient history? Judaism was a bad ideology way before anyone like Hitler existed.

And Jew-hating was a bad ideology before Hitler too.

But I don't expect you to see that, since you're fucked in the head, much like all anti-semitic garbage.

You see, the natural opposite of Judaism and subsequently Jewishness isn't national socialism, but emancipation from abrahamic religions.

And yet that's what National Socialism intended to do. Get rid of "Jewishness" and get back to the good old days of "Aryan" purity. So you may not be a socialist (though you probably are) or a nationalist (though you probably are) but you're certainly a nazi. I'm done with you.

Your perspective is obviously somewhat narrowed to Jews and Nazis as making up the entire population on the planet, using Nazi synonymously for non-Jew. Very interesting. And one has to be "fucked in the head" to find Judaism disgusting? Very interesting as well. And so ridiculous. Read the Tanakh from a neutral point of view, and you'll quickly discover that it's complete ideological rubbish and everything that ever came from it ideologically is rubbish as well. The biblical god is (pretty obviously) a fabrication, and subsequently Judaism and Jewishness are vain and empty.

Oh, and your talk of "Aryan" purity (whatever that may be) is really stupid. Sounds a lot like you bought the Nazi shit for real.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, here's a handy little guide to get you through this current threadjack. Ready? Here we go.

We live in a world that is run by an oligarchy of Jews. Those Jews force out all other sexualities and put heterosexuality in the spotlight. The Jews are why heterosexuality is a big deal.

Satire.

Fine dining?

Are you a Jew?

Satire.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me.

What's funny is he pretends he has no emotional attachment yet he HAS to tell people about how important it is to destroy Judaism and everything that came from it. It doesn't matter if it's on topic or it's the middle of a couple of guys joking or how irrational it is to insert it.

Then when someone calls him out on it and compares his hatred for judaism to antisemitism he pulls a strawman out of his behind about how that person says you either have to be jewish or a nazi.

One wonders why, if his view is so rational, he makes such an effort to not express it rationally. Instead it's very important to him that he put a giant signature in about non-existence of the subject of those religions (which of course is impossible to prove) and he has to write everything in a way that is designed to keep the conversation away from the rational like "jew-ish" and the various other little UBisms we've come to count on.

Good thing he's emotionally detached from the whole thing.

You're fucked in the head. I'm not making any hard rules, just an observation.I suppose there are others who might hate "Jewishness" without being fucked in the head, but that's irrelevant - you hate, and you're fucked in the head.

Judaism is the same kind of crap as Mormonism or Scientology, only that the texts with the made-up stuff were written somewhat earlier than the Joseph Smith and L. Ron Hubbard shit. It has the exact same quality and exact same value: null.
And as for the issue of this thread: would there be such a discussion if the values of Judaism had not been spread by Christianity? All the sexual morals derive from the narrow-mindedness of the bible and its originators, we didn't get sexual restrictions from Romans, Greeks, Persians, Egyptians, Sumerians, but from a tiny group of fanatic Jews who happened to have their ideology brought to the global scale by the followers of one particular Jew. Why are people cursing the Vatican and its restrictive views on sexuality? And also other churches? It's because of the old biblical Jewish teachings, nothing more.

1) Henry was catholic

2) Martin Luther made Lutheranism, which is identified today as the first major protestant movements. Henry didn't despised this movement and certainly did not tolerate it. The Henrician church was nothing more then a catholic church without connection to the papacy.

History and archeology are devoid of any sources to support any of the claims that the bible makes in theological terms. Judaism popped into existence in that time when the bible was first assembled (in the Septuagint), there is no indication whatsoever that prior to that time anyone had worshiped Yah or El in the Jew-ish fashion, which subsequently means that nobody had interactions with the divine on the level that the bible claims. How do you explain the complete absence of anything that might hint at a kind of proto-Judaism and the abundance of evidence for worship in the style that was common throughout the Levant in ancient times? I have asked many times on this forum that someone may provide anything that would confirm any of the biblical statements on people's beliefs in ancient Israel and adjacent territories. Where is the evidence that YHVH was ever worshiped in Solomon's temple, and not rather Yah, El, Shamash, or Baal? Where is the evidence that Solomon's temple existed at all?

Firstly, if you were to believe in this, you would have to literally believe that the people killed were deserving of death. You can either believe both or neither, you can't believe that they killed innocents. Secondly, it has nothing to do with what Jews support today.

It is the teaching of Judaism that the biblical Conquest of Canaan was right because it was the biblical God's will and because the victims were not of the right descent. In other words their ethnicity made them unworthy and indeed deserving of death. Isn't that what Judaism teaches? The entire ideology that only the chosen seed is inside God's grace is not any different than the Nazi's ideology that only the members of an assumed "Aryan" race are worthy of living.

So in a way both groups believe that those outside of their respective group do actually deserve death (cf. Elijah). That is the common attitude, and it really does not matter much that Jews wait for their God to do away with the gentiles instead of doing it themselves. It's the mindset that counts.

Either they follow the biblical god and view his decisions as morally right (which includes genocide then) or they don't.
And what if the biblical god does not exist as I tell you? Then Jews still believe this genocide to be right because the bible says so, and they do support this genocide, be it fictitious or not.

Yes it is different, because the Jews do not believe any race is not worthy of living. Then why does their god have no problem with killing some of them or having them killed? And don't Jews follow their god in everything? Or rather, does th biblical god not reflect what Jews want?

Why do you bother? You can't convince religious radicals? He's no different than the guy who shows saying we're all going to hell for using computers? It's not just irrational, but hypocritical.

No wait. Ask him this (he ignores me because I point out how silly and hypocritical his statements are) - If he's not an atheist then what god or gods does he believe in. And ask him if he believes the Jews will be judged for their behavior? He'll either lie or admit that he believes that if judgement exists at all that Jews will be punished, which of course means he believes it's perfectly acceptable to believe that other people will be judged as unacceptable just as long as you agree with him.

Because unlike Nazis you allow for a being that is incapable of being wrong to actually carry out the judgement and if you are wrong, then nothing happens. For the Nazis, they carried out their own justice which may or may not have been wrong and it happened right or wrong.

Not that he thought it was morally correct.Throughout the bible the followers of YHVH are the 'chosen seed', a 'people' distinct from all others, a different 'race'. And when God kills folks or has them killed because they are not of the chosen seed (and thus don't follow him) that's racist.
Or are you trying to tell me that the biblical god is not the one that Jews follow?

I don't see God killing any races today,that is because that god does not exist.

so if God really did kill people based on race, there must not be a race alive which God still despises, as they are all still living.You don't get it. Don't Jews believe what the Tanakh tells them? They take it for real. It is of no relevance if it is in fact real or not. It is their attitude that is reflected in the bible and it is the bible that has formed their attitude ever since. It's a short circuit of morality. When Elijah has 450 priests killed, is that not viewed as righteous by Jews? But how would you judge that from your own perspective? It's just a mass slaughter, nothing more. So how can you be a Jew and believe in these things and find them worthy of following and at the same time despise them for the sheer inhumanity?

If there is no afterlife, there is no hell and thus no punishment for gentiles.God cannot punish before the afterlife?

But they arn't even Judge and jury, they leave their decisions to God on who deserves life and death not themselves.The problem is that the biblical god is only an idea that sums up what Jews have wanted, it's a reflection on the Jewish view how the world and god ought to be.

It is their attitude that is reflected in the bible and it is the bible that has formed their attitude ever since. It's a short circuit of morality. When Elijah has 450 priests killed, is that not viewed as righteous by Jews?


Firstly, have you ever heard of the concept "do as I say not as I do?" There is not a single law that says that you must kill anyone based on ethnicity.


God cannot punish before the afterlife?


He doesn't punish Gentiles before the afterlife either.


The problem is that the biblical god is only an idea that sums up what Jews have wanted, it's a reflection on the Jewish view how the world and god ought to be.

Incorrect, it sums up what the Jews believed a few thousand years ago, today Jews really do believe that God does the deciding and no mortal non perfect being on earth.

For the last time, there are many many other reasons why God may have killed, it never says that he killed them based on race.In the bible when it comes to Israelites there is no distinction between adherence to the biblical god and membership in the chosen people.

I thought you said you wern't an atheist :rolleyes:And? Is the biblical god the only possible god? In your mind?

Firstly, have you ever heard of the concept "do as I say not as I do?" There is not a single law that says that you must kill anyone based on ethnicity.But in the bible there are people and peoples killed because of their ethnicity or non-YHVH-adherence. That impresses far more and conveys the biblical message far more effective than any law. There are many laws, however, that tell the Israelites/Jews to stay away from other peoples, and as I read them I find them pretty racist, no matter what their motivations may have been.

He doesn't punish Gentiles before the afterlife either.??

Incorrect, it sums up what the Jews believed a few thousand years ago, today Jews really do believe that God does the deciding and no mortal non perfect being on earth.So today's Jews believe what ancient Jews have fabricated. Very convincing. The bible tells what are the criteria and Jews apply them as they pursue their belief. It does not really matter what their god does or not, as long as they believe in what the bible says (which is the only source that tells anything about the biblical Jewish god). And because they believe in the biblical god they are automatically following the bible and its categorization of humans.

But everyone who ever believed in any religion always believed that they believe in the right one. Before the world became as globalized as it currently is religion was always a matter of race simply because races were isolated within their own geographic area and their culture and religions reflected their environments. This is as true of Jews as it is of anyone else. Why single them out? The problem you have with Jewish history is the common history of all races and religions.

No religion in the ancient Middle East or in the adjacent areas was bound to a certain people or even race, except Judaism. And as I understand it Judaism today is still what could be called ethnocentric, as Jews consider themselves not just as a religious group but also as a people. Of course that is only true in the biblical sense.

Only Jews have written the Tanakh and have created the cause for the existence of Christianity and Islam. The abrahamic religions are built on one common source and basic ideology that is very much unlike any other (religious) ideology.

Well it's interesting that most American born Jews and even most in Israel support a rational discourse to establishing the two-state solution with Palestine and Israel. It's just that this process has been poisoned by messianic fundamentalists who build the West Bank settlements and believe in this 'Greater Israel', plus fundamentalist Christians in the US who believe Jesus will return soon and kill everyone who doesn't agree with him. Both are extreme minorities yet because their are so loud they get more power, and this distracts from the peace process.

I think fundamentalist Judaism needs to be confronted though, just as fundamentalist Christianity and Islam also need to be confronted.

I won't get into a debate about Judaism with you, UB - it is clear that my arguments are not penetrating at all. I merely ask a question.

On another thread, you said that you would not care if the government started persecuting Jews a la Hitler (if you like, I'll go and find the post in question). In fact, IIRC you stated that you would not save a Jew who was in danger of dying. This indicates that you do not care about Jews as human beings.

Yet here you claim not to hate Jews, only Judaism. Now, unless your callousness towards Jewish life extends to the majority of mankind, these two positions seem incompatible.

To help illustrate my point, the contempt you seem to have for Judaism is mirrored by my contempt for Nazism. Yet I would be prepared to save the life of a Neo-Nazi - say, for instance, he had a stroke and I was conveniently nearby, I would immediately administer first aid (which I am certified to do).

Either I have a greater sense of mercy than you, or you hate Jews, and can be called an anti-Semite. If you hate Judaism, but not Jews, I will remove you from my list of anti-Semites.

Now, I will answer the issue of Jews believing themselves to be better than others. While many Jews do believe that they are better than other people simply because they are Jews, this position is not supported by the Torah or the Talmud. Jews are a Chosen People, but they have been chosen to be a "light unto the nations". We are to teach by example.

They called my dad the only Rabbi in jackboots;
They called my mum the wife of my dad;
They circumcised me at the Nuremburg rally:
That's how I became a Semitic Nazi for life.

My mum always told me not to annex Poland;
My dad always told me not to invade Russia;
That's what you get for being a rebel -
Stuck in a bunker, eating unleaven bread.

I'm as popular as a Jew in Beirut;
I'm responsible for millions of deaths;
I've decimated more than half of Europe;

I have no emotional connexion to the issue, thus I don't hate Jews. I only reject what they represent. They are the offspring of a bad ideology, that's all. But thank Yah there's only 15 million or so of them, so they are in fact an irrelevant group. What is really unfortunate for humanity is that their bad ideology was spread by Christianity to the global level (including their attitude towards sex).

Actually, Jews are quite liberal towards sex. In fact, marital sex is a commandment- one of the 613 Mitzvot. Non-merital sex where there is still an emotional connection (such as two people in a relationship) is still considered a good thing, and even social sex barely hits a gray area. It's not until you get into things like "conquests" and using people that it becomes a definitevely bad thing.

It was not until the 4th century B.C.E, when the Roman (Christian) St. Augustine deemed sex to be a sin as a result of some of his own internal struggles regarding the Roman philosophies of the time. After him, monks for centuries debated whether marital sex with the intent of producing a child (as per the Biblical commandment "Be fruitful and multiply.") was a minor sin or a mortal sin worthy of landing one an eternity in Hell...

I don't know whether or not you can tell, but my opinions of Saint Augustine are, as a result of that, not particularly high.

Or Brahm

Nope. If you have a connection to the original religion, even if the original religion rejects that connection or that you're a valid offshoot at all, the original religion is at fault for all of your actions.

That's why UB is so angry. Because he knows it's all his fault. Kind of like that guy who served salsa from NYC.

And Jews are the source of Judaism, but Jews could not exist had not the women given birth to them in the first place, therefore Women are the source of the crap and must be eradicated immediately.

I have no emotional connexion to the issue, thus I don't hate Jews. I only reject what they represent. They are the offspring of a bad ideology, that's all. But thank Yah there's only 15 million or so of them, so they are in fact an irrelevant group. What is really unfortunate for humanity is that their bad ideology was spread by Christianity to the global level (including their attitude towards sex).1) there are 15 million Jews, yes. There is on the other hand a much smaller number of Jews who subscribe to the ideas that you object to. Please do not ascribe Judaism as some sort of a racial trait of Jews. It is offensive.

2) Yes, certain tenets of Judaism have been incorporated into Christianity over the past 2000 years. Some of them are oppressive, but others are downright humanistic. In fact some of the humanistic ideas have either not made it into or have fallen out of many Christian sects. Others have been misinterpreted and warped beyond recognition. Some of the nasty things in Christianity can also be traced to old Roman and other non-Judaic traditions. Others may well be original. Go figure.

Actually, I think UB was a little hard done by here. UB seems to be a 'rational anti-semite'. That is, he bases his anti-semitism upon some kind of rational objection to judaisim (in this case their moral impact upon society). Valid or not, his basis is rational, at least in theory (i.e. Judaism effects this change> I dislike this change> I dislike Judaism).

I don't actually agree with UB, nor do I hold any 'anti' towards semitism (beyond the ridicule I hold for all religions). However, stringing him up as a nazi is a shameless character assassination which completely demeans the sincerity of those doing so. It is very clear that UB is not a nazi, or even a racist. I'm not even sure he hates jews personally or as a group (at least from what little I have seen in this thread). UB's problem seems to be with judaism as a religion, fair or not. Much like many of the posters here have a problem with Islam as a religion (feeling it demeans women, promotes hate, and is generally barbaric). The only difference is that it is taboo to publically hold issue with judaism as a faith.

Why even step up? Why set my self up for the same shit? Because I am sick to shit of judaism's immunity to criticism (in threat of public deploring). Not the people, not the 'race' (whatever the fuck a race is supposed to mean anyhow), the religion, the ideaology, the moral code. The fact of the matter is, Judaism is just as fucked up as christianity and Islam. Yet it is ok to be anti-islamic or anti-christian, but not anti-semetic.

And your interpretation of the old testament has nothing to do with the actual beliefs of many who do. To single out the Jews specifically out of all those who worship that god smacks of something foul. The Christian idea of 'God' has taken as much from other religions and philosophical traditions such as the old Roman religion and platonic idealism.

UB, if you followed your rants to their logical conclusion it would mean that all Jews are crazy murderers.
This can be compared to actual Jews who are... pretty normal.
That automatically means your logic is flawed, the only problem is where.
I think you're not taking the Talmud into account. Religious Jews follow the Talmud as much as the tanach, which makes them quite a bit more peaceful then the ancient Israelites mentioned in the OT.
Nonreligious Jews follow neither, so there's no problem.
And about your rants on ethnic Jews:
From the OT it's pretty obvious that Judaism was originally intended as the state religion for ancient Israel.
So, anyone descended from an ancient Hebrew is an ethnic Jew, even if they're not technically Jewish.
For example:
Norway used to follow the old Norse gods.
Anyone descended from one of the followers of the old Norse gods is ethnically Norse even if they don't worship Thor.

He is an ignorant fool who knows little of the religion he attacks. Judaism is very liberal in terms of how it commands you to live your social life. It doesn't allow forced conversions and has no problem with people having other beliefs. It doesn't condemn non believers to hell because hell doesn't even exist. It also doesn't expect non Jews to follow the 613 Mitzvot. It just asks them to follow a few of the 10 commandments (mainly the ones about not killing or stealing). Most of those are part of any country's legal code anyways.

I agree with this completely. For reference, the 'few of the ten commandments' outlined in the Talmud are the Noahide Laws (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah) or Laws of Noah. Interesting reading for all the people who seem to think Jews want forced conversion, etc.

He's less than a Nazi. Nazis had organization, they had action and they were on the move. They were evil, and they were delusional. But, they were containable, they were an evil that could be, and eventually was, defeated. They were the villain whose end was nigh inevitable.

What United Beleriand is, though, is something that is far more terrifying than a Nazi. What he professes to believe is a far, far darker than the consuming madness of Nazism. What United Beleriand professes is a cold, uncaring ideology. Dehumanizing other individuals, simply because they believe differently from himself. Believing that they are irredeemable, simply because of what they believe is such an absurd proposition that there are barely words to describe it.

He claims to be a champion of humanism and rational thought, yet he has thrown out the key tenant of such: doubt. The ability to question one's own belief, and to realize that you, yourself might indeed be wrong. That another person might, indeed, have the answer. In many ways, his are the words of the Inquisitors, hunting heresy within the Church, and burning them alive.

He claims to have cast down the old gods, yet it would seem he has done little more than to change their names.

United Beleriand isn't a Nazi, he is less than a Nazi. Barely the pathetic bootlickers who couldn't muster the courage to stand up, and give their lives in the cause of something good and decent.

That's from the 'Old Testament'. The Christians have reworded and reworked a lot of what was once the Torah. Besides Hebrew doesn't translate very well to English. There are too many ways to mistranslate a Hebrew word, especially in biblical connotations.

Anyways I'm not trying to deny that the God in the Torah seems less then friendly. He does order some crazy stupid things. Point is tho, no Jews ever go out and start killing people in the name of God based on any of the parts you just quoted.

What United Beleriand is, though, is something that is far more terrifying than a Nazi. What he professes to believe is a far, far darker than the consuming madness of Nazism. What United Beleriand professes is a cold, uncaring ideology. Dehumanizing other individuals, simply because they believe differently from himself. Believing that they are irredeemable, simply because of what they believe is such an absurd proposition that there are barely words to describe it.

He claims to be a champion of humanism and rational thought, yet he has thrown out the key tenant of such: doubt. The ability to question one's own belief, and to realize that you, yourself might indeed be wrong. That another person might, indeed, have the answer. In many ways, his are the words of the Inquisitors, hunting heresy within the Church, and burning them alive.

He claims to have cast down the old gods, yet it would seem he has done little more than to change their names.

United Beleriand isn't a Nazi, he is less than a Nazi. Barely the pathetic bootlickers who couldn't muster the courage to stand up, and give their lives in the cause of something good and decent.

There is one thing to remember about all the countless human monsters throughout history: They only committed as many crimes as we let them. I would admonish United Beleriand to remember that.

Btw, I can't believe your defending what UB is saying here. The very basis of modern morality and ethics were derived from the Torah.

Just plain idiotic

Actually most. of it was derived from Greek thought, a la Aristotle and Plato.

Fail.

Edit: And then filtered down into a "Christianized" version of both schools of thought, a la Augustine and Aquinas.

Oh yeah, we use Torahic morality, would that include the willingness to commit infanticide because your hearing schizophrenic voices in your head?

I notice that certain people in this thread refuse to admit the ethical absurdity of the biblical God. Other folks here refuse to admit the very substantial Judaic contribution to the development of Western ethics. Both groups really ought to make an attempt to drop their emotional-ideological baggage for just one moment. Please try to take a step back and assess the situation more reasonably.

The Judaic tradition is an ancient, rich and diverse one. It is neither without flaw nor without merit. If fact it possesses a great deal of both on a monumental scale. It is well worth studying and debating but either to accept it whole cloth or to condemn it as nothing but worthless and poisonous trash is not a constructive position.

That can be said for the contributions of almost every ethnic group in the world.

I have no emotional connexion to the issue, thus I don't hate Jews. I only reject what they represent. They are the offspring of a bad ideology, that's all. But thank Yah there's only 15 million or so of them, so they are in fact an irrelevant group. What is really unfortunate for humanity is that their bad ideology was spread by Christianity to the global level (including their attitude towards sex).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA HAHAHAHA!!!!
You, sir, are a comedic genius.

Well in terms of lasting cultural or tradition impacts, the Abrahamic tradition is only felt in countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar etc, although to a lesser extent in fundamentalism in the US and elsewhere. Primarily our world is built upon Greek philosophical traditions of democracy and social justice, built in with the rationalist thinkers of the enlightenment, and (believe it or not) Marxism though the French revolution, unionism and the industrial revolution and liberalism.

That's from the 'Old Testament'. The Christians have reworded and reworked a lot of what was once the Torah.

It's all the word of God.

Besides Hebrew doesn't translate very well to English.

Virtually any translation says the same.

Point is tho, no Jews ever go out and start killing people in the name of God based on any of the parts you just quoted.

Actually, both those verses have been fodder for right-wing extremist Israeli nationalists, who have actually gone out and killed people.

In any event it certainly does not give support for UB to go around saying Jews are evil and must be stopped before the full moon comes out and they all start hunting for Goy children.

That's not what UB has been saying... and in any case, my concern is not defending what UB is saying.

The very basis of modern morality and ethics were derived from the Torah.

Um, not really... the ideas that are common to both are pretty universal.
