Admittedly, it is possible to convert (or deconvert) within the space of two years so, while I think the special-consideration-for-Jews thing isn't so great I can see why they'd ask for a more recent letter.It is virtually impossible to not be considered Jewish under religious law if you already were considered Jewish. Case in point. The only way it could be considered "rude" and "insulting" is if you consider it inherently rude an insulting that I don't subscribe to your religion or that I practice its rituals "incorrectly" or that I mention doing so. You still fail to understand the problem with that thread, which is why you have so many problems with people here and with the police. I don't think we can explain it to you any more clearly than we have, and don't be surprised when everyone is "against" you the next time you piss off the adherents of another religion or have another run-in with the police. I have, on several occasions, been invited to a Seder that was not kosher and which included readings from a homemade Haggadah that deviated significantly from the standard text. Was that "rude" and "insulting?" Even "antisemitic?" The "requirements" of what the text of the Haggadah should contain are fairly easy to fulfill, much of it is custom that has been virtually universally accepted by Jews worldwide at this point anyway. Even traditional families don't necessarily read every single word of Magid due to time constraints and their religious obligations are still fulfilled. I do. Unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly clear that you don't want "respect," you want a free pass on criticism. No one gets that and no one should expect it. You don't understand the difference between respect and a free pass on criticism. You would respect me and every other Jewish poster on this board who keeps Passover if you don't make your asinine, childish post about what you might want to eat during the holiday, and then tell the rest of us who prefer to keep kosher for Passover we're backwards and mindlessly following what we've instructed to do via "fairy tale" and holding back all of humanity. Conversely, no religious person here AFAIK has told you that your religious beliefs or lack thereof hold back humanity or should be abandoned outright. I'd ask you if you can see the difference, but I highly doubt you can. |
