technically speaking, all everyone has a share in the world to come.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Correct and a Jew regardless of belief or circumcision will be judged as a Jew.

Of course being judged as a Jew and not being circumcised won't get you very far in heaven.

There are plenty of other places to discuss this, this thread is about jewishness, not israel.

isnt Israel part of the jewishness?

Well spot on there partner I think it does.

I also think some of the things you are saying just to be argumentative... because if you believe Jesus is the Messiah you may believe Israel belongs to the Jews.

Actually now since the real Jews dont exist anymore just like the Romans or Ancient Greeks.

As opposed to metaphorical Jews.
Menassa here is a figurative Jew.
The ones you have to look out for are the conceptual Jews, but don't confuse them for the imaginary Jews, they might get offended.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

No, Jews don't exist, because the self doesn't exist, and, as the self doesn't exist, there is no self to be called a 'Jew', so being a 'Jew' is just an illusion.

Well quite, it annoys me that I and God occupy the same slot, that's fairly uncomfortable as an Atheist.
I'm semi interested as to what he meant by real jews, other than the obvious quips I made that ofcourse they are physically real, what does he think makes them not Jewish?
Is this going to be a race thing? I hope not.

Do you happen to have a view on the fusion of the messianic and zionist schools into their current form by the way?
I'd be interested in both a political and a scriptural view, as I can quite see how one could for instance deny that scripture gives a mandate to seize the holy land to bring on the messiah, but say that "But since we already did, it would be impractical to force people born in israel to abandon their homes."

I'm not too sure if the opposite could be true though...
"Yes, scripture says we must take back the holy land to bring on the messiah. But for practical reasons I don't support doing that."

All you have to do is deny your existence. Plenty of reasonable people have done this. :p

I'm guessing he'll emphasize slight genetic and religious differences. Of course, this also means that the French don't exist, so I might be willing to hear the argument.

To my French friends and associates, I feel compelled to tell you that I am joking. I do love you.
