You are displaying an enormous waste of time and a depleted intelligence. Once you drop all that nonsense that occupies you, you may start living, finally.

All your beloved Bolsheviks tried to expunge religion and persecuted religious people. All your idols, Lenin, Mao, Stalin did just that but miracle happened, like "deus ex machina": These "servants of evil" all but disappeared, religious beliefs remained and when going gets tough, the Marxist Priest, Chavez prefers to kiss the cross instead of you demigod, Obama. See the picture, bro.

From the U.S.!

Hundred fifty years ago you could count atheists as numbering close to zero, although our ancestor Baruch Spinosa knew three hundred fifty years ago that religion has no future. My idols are Baruch Spinosa and Henry David Thoreau, along with Isaak Newton and Albert Einstein. Google for them, survivor.

REAL Jews in America - those that have no intermarried - AKA Orthodox - do not need you to "reach out through national dialog". They are already in Israel's camp. The Reform Jews are 1/2 Jews (if there is such a thing) and even less. Trust me when I say that you do not WANT these people in our camp. We want as little to do with them as with the so-called "Black Jews" in NYC who wear stars of david and claim that they're authentic Jews from some long lost tribe nobody's heard of. Stop trying to put back something together that has been dead for a very, very long time. Frankenstein will be no friend to anyone. Why not instead determine which Russians in Israel are actually Jewish ... and start dialog with them.

Please, do not call yourself "thinking." But you can call yourself "Jew" since nobody really knows what that means.

For American leftist Jews, religion - like Judaism - is the curse of humanity. The idea was hatched first by Marx, theorizing that if religion disappeared Humanity would embrace each other and Kumbaya... (Marx:"On the Jewish Question, 1843) For the ignorant Westerners: Einstein and others were not persecuted for their religion in modern times. It's possible there were many atheist Jews at Auschwitz or converted to Christianity. We were persecuted on racial basis, for our DNA, regardless of what one believed in. You atheist Jews won't be spared because "Nürnberg Laws" by "H" is still valid among both Leftist and Rightist social circles, particularly in the EU, even in the US. Of course it's not PC to openly say it but to whisper it into Obama's ears by Hagel is cool and lauded by the un-Jew Jews like Soros & Co. We Eurasian Jews know more "Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." (Hamlet)

Please wake up. You're late.This process has been going on for several decades. It would be nice to conduct a dialogue with all types of Jews, but the abysmal ignorance of Judaism & Jewish history prevents any kind of meaningful interaction. Besides, my Orthodox cousin has fifteen grandchildren; my Reform cousin has one grandchild. Demography is destiny and though I may not like it, that is the reality that Jews face in America. And I am glad that I chose to live here 44 years ago.

"They" studied my face, ordered me to undress, asked about my family lineage all the way up to my great grand mother maiden name. In Europe everybody knew who was Jew, by their name, physical feature, occupation: the professed religion or lack of it deemed irrelevant. American leftist Jews are still living in make believe world and pontificating nonsensical things with great aplomb.

in actual fact he counts for very little. The American Jew is becoming a side show to what is really happening and that is in Israel. Israel suffers from poor leadership but over time people in Israel will demand leadership. Its simply a matter of time. As Israel becomes wealthier and more populated, the American Jew is becoming older poorer and insignificant.

My brother and I were born and raised in the U.S. Both of us became religious, moved to Israel, married, and have many religious children, B"H. Most of our relatives and friends in the States however, married non-Jews and raise their children without any Judaism in their lives. Many of our friends here say that they have the same situation in their families in the States. What a tragedy for the Jewish People in the Galut. I,my brother and friends here in Israel thank G-d every day that we made aliyah.

If one accurately researches the whole fear mongering game you will conclude that the teachings of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking are making more sense than books written 5000 years ago by those who would severley punish you if you showed even a slight questioning attitude! Athiesm is the natural development of those who conclude, often after a life of questioning, that the existance of some God or something supernatural is absurd!

They ignored it with their deafening silence.

They did not help even child survivors like myself after the war. Decent Western gentile people accepted children into their family up to 6 month and provided food and necessities for those unfortunate souls. I was taken by French speaking rural peasants in Switzerland. We got no help from the arrogant American Jews. I am disgusted when I see prominent American Jews appropriating our past misery to further their anti-Israeli, leftist agendas on our back.
