Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Jewish Atheism
Many Jewish atheists would reject even this level of ritualized and symbolic identification, instead embracing a thoroughgoing secularism and basing their Jewishness entirely in ethnicity and secular Jewish culture. Possibilities for secular Jewishness include an identification with Jewish history and peoplehood, immersion in Jewish literature (including such non-religious Jewish authors as Philip Roth and Amos Oz), the consumption of Jewish food, the use of Jewish humor, and an attachment to Jewish languages such as Yiddish, Hebrew or Ladino.
A high percentage of Israelis identify themselves as secular, rejecting the practice of the Jewish religion (see Religion in Israel). While some non-believers of Jewish ancestry do not consider themselves Jews, preferring to define themselves solely as atheists, some would argue that Judaism is arguably a culture and tradition that one can easily embrace without religious faith, despite Jewish culture revolving around God.

Free Israel? No thanks. I wouldn't take that even if free. Besides, it sure isn't free for the American taxpayer.

As much American taxpayers money goes to Israel....it seems they all should be living free & easy. Just can't stand the christian Israel supporters...don't they know if it came right down to it Israel would feed them to the lions in the blink of an eye.

I think this planet should restart because if you seriously support Hamas...I must have missed the Muslim parade.
Since 2001, Palestinian militants have launched thousands of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip as part of the continuing Arab–Israeli conflict. As of July 2014 the attacks have killed 28 people

This guy is an idiot. He doesn't believe in the moon and claims he's disproved evolution. Josh Feurstein is a fool and whoever listens to him or subscribes to his thinking is a fool as well. I've heard more intelligent speech from a homeless man off his rocker on thunderbird. I feel so embarressed that people like him exist.
