I studied Confucianism in undergrad as well in an honors class- poor Confucius had NO IDEA he would be turned into a religion.
LOL! I remember thinking this as well; I studied religion as part of my philosophy minor. I don't know if you read anything by Huston Smith for your religions courses (The Illustrated World's Religions book is the first one that comes to mind), but I love him and I got meet him at conference when I was an undergrad. That man practically glows - he's just so amazing in his writing, his speaking, his ideas.

Have you read the Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet? I *love* those books.
Yes! I love these books as well! I lent my copies to a friend and never got them back. I hope she's still enjoying them!

I think I love you guys. Both of you rock philosophy!  I really am enjoying what I've read. It's interesting to see the discussions move from religion to the philosophy of religion. It's inevitable though, isn't it? You can't argue religion since it's based on beliefs, but you can philosophize about it forever.

I too believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and I too believe every word in the Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth  ). Without God, I wouldn't be where I am now...I am so thankful that I KNOW Him not just as someone you read about in the Bible but as my heavenly Father who loves me more than anything.

You're a good person to debate Gracie. You are very knowledgeable. I don't feel like talking about this anymore because its just one of those topics where you can keep going around in circles, you know? But it was fun having the discussion with you!

messianic jews- ARE NOT JEWS! They are Christians by the very tenant that Christianity believes in Jesus and Jews do not!
Sorry, pet Peeve because someone who I had issues with for jumping around from one chiurch to another converted to judaism and then started going to a messianic jewish church and tried to tell me what a terrific Jew she was still!
Anyway... there are 613 biblical laws. Many orthodox follow all that apply to them (some are for the high priests, some only for women and some only for men.) I don't so I am not the best person to answer this.. though I do follow more of the religious laws then a lot of others I know.

so I can have a roof over my head!
An Eruv is a religiously marked and blessed area. It is set up by congregations to mark an area around the synagogue most commonly in which people can carry things outside their homes on holidays and shabbos. The biggest reason is to help families with young children and those who live close to the shul get around and have what they need.
The illness thing has allowed my parents to live outside the area they would have otherwise for years- mom due to health can't walk far, so the rabbis gave her a dispensation to allow dad to drive her on shabbos.. adn when we were kids we were included in that... so it made a huge difference.

Tommy, Well what do you know, pretty darn close. I think
this makes five former Long Islanders on the boards. I lived
in VS from 1958 to 1972 when I went to Rutgers. Thanks for
replying. -Bob

Hi Shannon, I kind of thought you were teasing me, I just
wanted to make sure. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Mich.
right near the south shore of Lake Superior which gives us
tons of lake effect snow. This year we've gotten a bit over
270 inches. We don't even use snow shovels, we use what are
called snow scoops. Well, that is those of us who don't have
snow blowers. -Bob
