  1. Deut 13:1

    Reason, ritual, and the root of kashrut

    I guess we just agree to disagree on that point. If you think things are so far beyond the Torah when it comes to kosher - I'm afraid to ask you - What are your thoughts on the Sabbath? and how modern-Orthodox like Chabad honor it? I had not read or seen that article, but if you are looking...
  2. Deut 13:1

    My thoughts on the Romney’s Income Tax Returns and other points. Any rebuke

    We agree, they both suck. :popcorn:
  3. Deut 13:1

    Is critiquing the gay community the new antisemitic behavior?

    I am against discrimination in public avenues. I wouldn't discriminate a homosexual that comes in to buy a bottle of booze. But I do think I should have the right to deny a group of people the right to celebrate a religious function such as marriage or a reception in my business or my...

    Is critiquing the gay community the new antisemitic behavior?

    Sure, I would expect many places to deny us because they either can't accommodate our needs - kosher meals, separating women from men, etc... or because they don't agree with out practices. What does marijuana do to you that is so dangerous? I don't like wearing my seat belt, I don't like...

    My thoughts on the Romney’s Income Tax Returns and other points. Any rebuke

    Sigh, you know what I mean. When Obama took office, he had the majority everywhere, if you want to argue semantics when you know what my point is, then let me know.
  6. Deut 13:1

    My thoughts on the Romney’s Income Tax Returns and other points. Any rebuke

    So what did they do in 2008 when they had the majority and the power of the people behind pretty much whatever agenda they wanted.
  7. Deut 13:1

    My thoughts on the Romney’s Income Tax Returns and other points. Any rebuke

    [COLOR=black] I guess what I don't understand is this. The LAW says the tax on capital gains, dividends, and interest is 15%. The commercials for the Democratic party claim he paid 14%. To me it seems like he is paying his taxes... Everyone has donations, right-offs, etc... to lower their...
  8. Deut 13:1

    Is critiquing the gay community the new antisemitic behavior?

    I guess to be honest it is a very difficult issue to have a concrete stance on. US law is very ambiguous when it comes to providing services to the public. For example, with liquor, I can deny the sale of liquor to anyone I want depending how I phrase it. I can't say I'm going to deny it...
  9. Deut 13:1

    All you want to know about the Catholic Church

    Who determines what is meant to be literal and what is not? The church or the pope or the individual?
  10. Deut 13:1

    Is critiquing the gay community the new antisemitic behavior?

    I'd have to find the thread, but I remember reading a thread about businesses being fined for refusing to host a homosexual wedding reception because of their beliefs. You want equal rights under the law of the U.S. - fine. You want to be able to file as one, medical rights, etc... I'm okay...
  11. Deut 13:1

    Reason, ritual, and the root of kashrut

    So what would you imply is the meaning of keeping kosher? Okay, I'll play along... I assume you're referencing this... Woman Arrested For Carrying Torah Near Western Wall I'm not a big fan of woman being denied the right to read from the Torah, but I understand why they are not allowed. It...
  12. Deut 13:1

    Is critiquing the gay community the new antisemitic behavior?

    You made the image that if it was something that HaShem allowed to happen it must be okay. I simply took your argument and plugged in other more socially unacceptable crimes.
  13. Deut 13:1

    Is critiquing the gay community the new antisemitic behavior?

    So are you for the argument that drugs should be legalized as well? Legalize suicide? Where do we ascertain that these activities are wrong? So far the criteria that had been posted for weather for not something should be legal is: I can list hundreds of items that you and others would...
  14. Deut 13:1

    Is critiquing the gay community the new antisemitic behavior?

    Define adult consent? In Spain, the age is 13, is it okay for a teacher to have sex with a student as long as both consent?
  15. Deut 13:1

    Is critiquing the gay community the new antisemitic behavior?

    You're the one that implied people are born a certain way and that because of it, it must be okay. I'm simply asking where you draw the line on what is okay and what is not. What criteria do you use?
