Nice article but don’t be to sarcastic and break us the Jewish people down and make it seem that G-d only belongs to this Jew or that one. I think in every Jewish heart we know there is only One G-d but we, not me personally believe that we are doing it right and they are doing it wrong. I will give an example, two people where I work both non religious and both pregnant believe since they are pregnant they don’t fast, but they are quick to tell me other years they do. They interpreted the Halacha, Jew Law into what they think it is. Everyone does it there way, kippot, long or short zizit, this Kashrut or that one, so what the thing we as Jews need to learn is how to be tolerant. When G-d sees that Jews know how to live together no matter how they pray or believe in The One G-d then there will be no reason for the Arabs to say they pray to the god as then G-d will be on our side and destroy our enemies. By the way you forgot the “gays” they have a G-d as well the same as ours and he loves them to. So next time a Jew does things that may be different to how you do things just remember to have some tolerance.

You can Google for Baruch Spinoza. That will a time very well spent. Read up on Henry David Thorough also. You will be the smartest woman in Mea Shaarim.

Humanist secularism who seem the think that they are the watchdog and conscience of all societies.

woman of Mea Shearim? Me have only one ambition.To see Secular and Orthodox Jews live together in harmony.

He writes that Lithunians do not consider Chasidim to be Jews. This is absolutely false. It is indicative of his ignorance concerning the Torah and Mitzvos. All religious Jews agree to 100% of the Mitzvos (Commandments) and have the 100% same Torah for thousands of years. The disagreements over emphasis in how best to serve G-d is the source of disagreement providing spicy headines for those unable or unwilling to learn the content.

Get even smarter with this, quoted from Wikipedia on Spinoza: "... In 1929, Einstein was asked in a telegram by Rabbi Herbert S. Goldstein whether he believed in God. Einstein responded by telegram: "I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings." No man has ever revealed himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, so God has to be a woman. Or it is Spinoza himself whom Jews in Holland excommunicated.

G-D is not a creature,since He was not created,He is the CREATOR of the creation.We can t perceive HIM with our senses,but with our imagination. Does that make sense to you,Michael?

Congratulations, Ynet, for the excellent article written by Yair Lapid. All of us, Jews and Christians; Muslims too; do need to read it. Our God Unique can not have human failures. He means Love and Justice. His sacred words must be interpreted under these principles. On the contrary, there will be, always, fanaticism and oppression.

in most convoluted twists of logic and all this only to avoid the truth: Religion is POISON. Poison of heart, mind, conscience, morality and every imaginable aspect of human behaviour. Unfortunately it cannot be eradicated in one move, instead we're doomed to countless years of continued mindless head-bowing to the self proclaimed peddlers of Darkness, be they priests, immams, rabbis or woodoo doctors. And all this in the age where I am able to write this on a truly "magical" tool, that owes it's existence to the fact that the real Human Spirit overcame the shackles of superstition and stupidity!!!! Besides that Mr.Lapid : whom are you kidding?
