Thank you for the welcomes Dagless, Abdul-Raouf, and Mila. To Abdul-Raouf:
So what was your previous faith and how you got attracted to judaism.....?
The only religious organization I became a member of was a Unitarian Universalist church. I liked the historical emphasis on monotheism, no Trinity, and on the non-deity of Jesus. Truth be told, the UU (Unitarian Universalist) are far from their Christian origins. A significant portion of the membership is now either atheistic, humanistic, Wiccan, or some other belief system far, far removed from Christianity.
My attraction to Judaism is complicated but, suffice it to say, that it is an Abrahamic faith with which my wife and I can be true to our monotheistic beliefs. Is Judaism right for everyone? No. Nor does it need to be. Although people convert, Judaism itself does not have a long history of proselytizing like Islam and Christianity.
My Avatar and Siggy...your comments on their content?
They're provocative in their caricatural nature - which is the point of all propaganda. If you're soliciting my general opinion on all-things
Eretz Yisrael then I can't give you one.
However, if you would like my opinion on specific incidents then I will give you my opinion. And my opinion will be as well-informed as possible dependent upon my access to reliable and trustworthy resources.
