Here is something I've never heard before.
I don't believe in jews.
You heard me. I don't believe there are any jews.
You see, jews are defined by a religion called judiasm as all the people who were in the desert and given commandments by YHWH through Moses. These aren't the 7 Noahide laws that supposedly apply to everybody, these are 613(?) specific rules just for jews. And furthermore, all of the descendants of such people down the maternal line are also defined to be jews. And furthermore all people who convert into judiasm are jews.
But I don't believe God was there. So I don't think there are any people who were jews by the first definition, which means all their descendants aren't jews either. The only people who might be jews are the converts, but I'm not so sure about that either. They aren't joining a group of jews, they are joining a group of people who think they are jews.
So anyhow, as an athiest I don't believe in god, so by extention I don't believe in jews either.
