Define religion.
Define culture.

And you are dead wrong.

They were not persecuted for WHAT THEY BELIEVED.
I thought this was the basis of religion (belief).
I lived with a Jewish family for basically 5 years thru
middle school to high school when my mom was ill.

Reform types...

Do you even know the basic groups of Jews?
Go to Israel and make the statement you just made, and you
will get laughed out of the country. They have huge conflicts between
the ultra-orthodox religious Jews and the cultural reform Jews who dont
like this religion shoved down their throat. It even happens in this country.

sids, orthodox...beyond that i have no experience.

LOL. You are so trying to talk around it but you can't. Of course there are different types of jews just like there are different types of muslims or christians.

At the end of the day if there were a holocaust where 6 million mormons were rounded up and killed, does it really make a difference if they were killed because they believe in joseph smith or merely because they still believe in polygamy? At the end of the day, they would have all been killed because they were mormon. Religion is what defined them in the eyes of the killers.

Same with the jews.

Psuedo whatever the hell you are: That is literally the dumbest thing you've ever said about me. Granted, you may have some expertise in financial matters, but you really don't have a clue about other things. Whatever pent-up rage you have for life is showing through...or bleeding out as they say!
