Just like a non-practising catholic. Next.problematic, as "jew" means more to many than simply a religion.....I recall the very first jew I met.....I asked him if he ever went to synagogue.....no.....celebrated the Jewish holidays.....no.....bar mitzva.......no......A jew believes in a god, an atheist doesn't. So, one cannot be both at the same time. End of thread.
so I asked why he considered himself a Jew......he looked at me funny......because I am, he said......
a friend of mine who does not practice Judaism took the ancestry genealogy test. His genetic markers came back as 98% Jewish.
There is no such genetic test for Catholics.
the "ancestry genealogy" "test" actually you are wrong-----all "groups" which engaged in intramarriage
can be traced-----sorta ---depending on how many genetic
"markers" have been determined for that particular group
thus far. There are ITALIAN communities so intramarried---that they TOO are the subject of genetic
marker study-----same is true of AMISH communities in
the USA. An interesting reality related to jews----is LOTS OF GENETIC study-------do you know why? I do-------
lots of the doctors interested in the genetic issue have
been JOOOOOS with jewish patient populations. I even
know one of the guys who was among the first involved
in the TAY SACHS mutation. ---if you can be linked to that Italian community-------you can be damned certain
that you are linked to catholics. JOOOS are a particularly intriguing group------they INTRAMARRY----
even those other jews who originated far far away.-----
My own hubby is from a community of JOOOOOS that
had virtually no contact with other JOOOS for more than
1000 years-------but we all got some of DEM JOOOOISH
markers because that intramarry thing is longstanding----even ON RECORD---------da jooos was arguing about it dating back to EZRA. The problem with you
GENTILES----is you ain't got no history-------the only peoples with a history are LITERATE people
