The Jews don't believe that all the Gentiles are damned to Hell. I'm pretty sure most of the Jewish sects don't even believe in a Hell. They just see themselves as God's Chosen People.

You know who I like? The Jews. It's against their religion to eat pork and shellfish, but do you see them trying to make laws forbidding that? Nope.

You think? Look up the ultra-orthodox quarters in New York or Israel.

That's like pointing to the hardcore evangelicals though.... Most of the Jews I know don't really care what other people do. Being in law, who are we kidding, I know a lot of them.

I don't know any Christians that want to make religion into law either. That's a mark of the religious extremist. You just seem to have a lot of them.

Ah. Thanks. Sorry. But I think the general idea still stands right? Can't save or help the others, so no point.

... But chosen for what exactly?

Given the history of the Jews, I'd have to say "suffering". But really, I think it's mostly just a left over of an old school "we're the favorite" attitude from back in the day, which is to say several thousand years ago.

From what I remember, they see themselves as the Chosen to keep the light burning in a dark world. At least, that's the idealized theological notion. In that, they share a lot with the Christian monastics who preserved literacy and culture in the Dark Ages. All the various laws and practices and tendency towards self-segregation is supposed to keep them focused on this purpose and to keep them from being steadily absorbed into the world of darkness. If the Jews stop being Jews, the light goes out of the world.

Of course, I dated a Reformed Jewish girl for a while. When I asked "how reformed?", she answered "We're having pork chops for dinner."  xD

Especially the Mexican Jew lizards.

EDIT: I just re-read this and it makes no sense. The hell, past MSH?

[Jervill]

Remember the proposed North Dakota constitutional measure to allow people to claim innocence if something "violated their religion"?
It failed, 64% to 36%.  Also, there apparently was another ass backwards proposal to eliminate property taxes (I guess funding schools and fire departments isn't important to some people.), and it failed 77% to 23%.

Link to results; Measure 2 is the one proposing to eliminate property taxes, and measure 3 is the religion one.

[Leafsnail]

I guess both of those lose a lot of votes right off the bat and would probably struggle to find appeal even among strongly Republican voters.  The religion one seems pretty unconstitutional and would allow MUSLIMS to be exempt from some laws (both anathema to hard right voters) while even the most hardcore libertarian would likely see that removing property taxes would cause a horrifying deficit or taxes on everything else to sharply rise.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I don't think you understand the Libertarians. Some of them want there to be no taxes at all.
