During this holiday season, gifts are exchanged amongst those not only who celebrate Christmas, but those who celebrate Chanukah, Kwanzaa, and even “other”/nothing.
Whether it’s a greeting card or wrapping paper, if it has an image of a snowman on it, you’re in good shape to not offend anyone. Apparently, a snowman has no religious or [...]
This really could apply to any type of minority, but sometimes you’re one, and then another of that appears.
The other day I was at a birthday party for my friend Cindy’s husband, and while standing next to me she yells across the room, “Hey I found another Jew for you.” It was something like [...]
TV is more important than religion. I believe so. It’s definitely a more important issue in a household of a married/unmarried couple living together. I mean, the only time religious belief could kinda become an issue is when you have kids. And even then, it doesn’t really matter. The kid [...]
I’m hoping the world never gets to the point when nuclear weapons are prominently deployed.
In the modern age, especially with computers, we live in a world that keeps pretty detailed records. I’ve had this conversation in various forms, but it is my belief that ancient events thought of as supernatural never happened (the way “believers” [...]
While I’m highly skeptical of politicians switching parties mid-career, I’m way less skeptical of people who decide to “switch religions.” When it comes to religion and trying to figure out the answers to life’s big questions, we are really in the dark. As much trouble as humans have in terms of building ideal governments and [...]
In the world we live in, it might be helpful for some people to 100% believe in god to help get them by in their lives. Faith is one thing though, but actually proving the existence of a god at this point in our journey as humans is rather tough —- pretty much impossible. [...]
I feel blessed to have friends in my life who come from all walks of life, and have wide-ranging spiritual beliefs. For the most part I consider myself a “Jewish-agnostic,” but I know many atheists too. I respect them, but find it tiresome when they utter a particular phrase to me.
“I hate religion.” To me, [...]
Before I get into it, let me begin with a few disclaimers. Number 1, I usually don’t trust the government myself. Number 2, it’s not an outlandish thought to feel Osama Bin Laden and similar figures have been somewhat mystified by the media with a “boogieman” status, in order to promote fear. Number 3, [...]
Buddhism is often considered more of a philosophy than a religion. In fact, maybe this is an “LA thing,” but people often consider themselves a Buddhist, in addition to another faith.
I’m a “Jewish Buddhist.” Whatever. Buddha can kiss my ass. I have no desire to achieve Nirvana —- which according to my 7th grade social [...]
Whether it’s from a health issue or a freak occurrence, once in a while human beings have near death experiences. It seems that almost in every case, the person will tell you something like, “God spared me.” I’m only referring to cases in which the near-death experience is something you can’t control. Surviving chosen [...]
