All over in this section there are criticisms of Christianity, Islam and atheism...but I hardly ever come across anything about Judaism. Frankly, I dont know much about it. I went to Catholic schools and come from an Islamic family but am an atheist...so im clear on all those. But Judaism is almost elusive.
What are its origins? What are its main tenets, its holy books?
And what are its criticisms? Because frankly, I think the other three seem to get bashed all around but it appears there are no criticisms to be had of Judaism? Im not calling for hate, Im simply asking why is there no discussion of it?

And also, what are the views that Jewish people usually hold of non-believers, homosexuals, abortion, afterlife etc. From what Ive gathered, they are more tolerant than the other two religions...but I could be wrong.
And also...is the Old Testament a part of Judaism? I remember hearing that it was the Torah...once more, could be wrong.

Educate me!

If he has to interview everyone who ever lived, and refer to their list of wrong-doings, how many decades would that take?

Does he have any helpers?

Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Mormonism...all of these place women in a subordinate position.

I only see Wicca as celebrating women. Are there any others?

the last day on earth came, and you found out that God was real and you were all going to suffer in hell?


Actually think, don't same something like "That would never happen". Seriously think about what you would do. Would you cry? Try to talk it out with God?
(You know you'd care if you went to hell)

Here's what happened:

She's getting ready for a presentation, I'm lying in bed. From the adjoining bathroom I hear this loud shriek like a fire engine, something like "Woowoowoooooo!" and suddenly she bursts into the bedroom, in her slip, holding a hair brush in one hand and her foot in the other and hopping in a little circle, going "Ow ow ow ow ow!" I say, "Wussumatter, babe?" really slow and she says really fast and frantic, still hopping, "Hot foot! Hot foot! Hot foot!" She had dropped her curling iron and it rolled under her toes. I check to see that she's okay (she was?) but she's sitting on the floor holding her foot sucking and blowing on her toes through the hole the iron burned in her stocking.

So I laugh! Remember I already checked to see if she was okay. Was this "wrong"?

We have a bet on whether other women would think it was ok to laugh-it's a friendly bet and she's not mad at me, but I want to know. I won't say how I bet except by private email after you answer!

WOMEN:
Women are honest, loyal and fogiving. They are smart, knowing that knowledge is power. But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point.
Women want to be the best for their families, their friends, and themselves. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
A woman can make a romantic evening unforgettable.
Women come in all sizes, in all color and shapes. They live in homes, apartments and cabins. They drive, fly, walk, run or email you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. And all they want back is a hug, a smile, and for you to do the same to people you come in contact with.

MEN:
Men are good at lifting heavy stuff and fixing s***t.
