What's the difference, Jew & Jentile, Isralite & Isrelli, Nazarite & Nazarene, Muslim & Jew, Blax & Whites?

Question

Who is kidding whom when it comes to the mis-education of most Americans. Let's learn from the comments of yahoo commentators about the difference.

Answer 1

Yes, and you forgot rednecks and yellowjackets, and also useful to know that donkeys fly and monkeys like bananas.

Answer 2

I don't know if you're trying to make some kind of political statement with this one, or if you want some historical perspective on the matter, and I really don't care, you're getting the history. Jew and Gentile were just ways of classifying people with a different belief system. It's human nature to break things down into "Us and Them", and a way for the early Israelites to break away from the larger civilizations of the Hittites, Egyptians, Babylonians and Assyrians, and create their own national identity. Israelites were the people that occupied Israel before the Roman occupation some two thousand years ago, and Israelis are those that inhabited the land after 1947 or 48, I forget which. As for the rest, it's just a chosen religious belief or the skin color we were born with. Once again, just the "us and them" mentality.

Answer 3

Jews= Hebrews, Israeli's, (Nazarene/Nazarene was actually a religious subdivision)

Gentiles: People who are not Jews. Easy enough to understand eh?

Muslems: People who believe that Mohamad The Prophet was right, who said that Jesus Christ wasn't the Son of G-d. Mohamad also taught that because only rich people can marry those who were poor who became Martyars, when they died they would be given 72 virgins.

No such thing as "Blax" people. Blacks? Yes- all they have is more melatonin in their skin cells.

Whites? What is a "white"? They're actually people of color- consider this ok? A)They like to sun themselfs to a dark tan. B)When cold they turn blue. C)When frozen they turn ice white. D)When exposed to sunlight they turn red if baked too long. E)When dead they turn black.

So, why do those with dark skin call themselfs people of color?

Answer 4

Jew = of jewish religion
Gentile = not of jewish religion
Isralite = one of the 12 tribes living in Canaan
Israeli = citizen of Israel
Nazirite = a Jew who took a ascetic vow
Nazarene = follower of Jesus (apostles)
Muslim = adherer to religion of Islam
Jew = adherer to religion of Judaism
Blax = people with dark skin
Whites = people with light skin

I don't really understand why you put blax and whites into this list. You go from religion based on a point of view, to history, to geography and back to religion in general. Race doesnt make any sense here.

Answer 5

Some of them can't spell
