lol my lj is friends-locked. :D i think maybe two people can see the link you put up. but that's ok.
recommendations?! lol... uh... i think i told you i recommend 'american gods.' awesome book. also, a religion?! LMAO. i like being jewish (but i'm the worst jew ever, so i don't think that you can go by that. i'm jewish like i'm irish. it's the background. the foreground is all me.)
hahahaha, good point. I only checked the entry, not the whole journal for being locked. Oh well! I'm sure they can figure out how it's done. I has smart friends. :P
I'm waiting for someone to bring up the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Cthulu or Xena: Warrior Princess to worship, heh.
And I am the most culturally blind person you'll ever meet - I don't think there were many Jews where I was growing up (lots of Mormons, though). I have a good friend from college who is half-Catholic, half-Jewish, (and wholly atheist), and she was telling me that she can always tell by looking that someone is Jewish. I can't ever see the stereotypes! I'm all "they just look like people to me!" The WWII/Holocaust is an area of interest in my history studies, and I look at the propoganda and I'm just blown away by it all. Or when I was reading Ivanhoe a few months ago - oh wow, the anti-Semitism!! So religion fascinates me, and how people react to others' religions
( ... )
i actually had someone in seattle tell me that i will be the first jewish person they ever meet. that tickled me. i feel that i have unintentionally turned your entry into something slightly serious... whoops
( ... )
I think one reason Judaism fascinates me is that it seems like so much more of a culture as much as, if not more than, a religion... or that the two are are so intertwined that they are inseperable.
Although I think I can see why you'd say it's both a blessing and a curse - people are always there when you need them, but then they expect to be there when you don't? Like the stereotypical Jewish mother?
