I guess we just agree to disagree on that point.
If you think things are so far beyond the Torah when it comes to kosher - I'm afraid to ask you - What are your thoughts on the Sabbath? and how modern-Orthodox like Chabad honor it?
I had not read or seen that article, but if you are looking...
I am against discrimination in public avenues. I wouldn't discriminate a homosexual that comes in to buy a bottle of booze. But I do think I should have the right to deny a group of people the right to celebrate a religious function such as marriage or a reception in my business or my...
Sure, I would expect many places to deny us because they either can't accommodate our needs - kosher meals, separating women from men, etc... or because they don't agree with out practices.

Sigh, you know what I mean. When Obama took office, he had the majority everywhere, if you want to argue semantics when you know what my point is, then let me know.

I guess what I don't understand is this. The LAW says the tax on capital gains, dividends, and interest is 15%. The commercials for the Democratic party claim he paid 14%. To me it seems like he is paying his taxes... Everyone has donations, right-offs, etc... to lower their...
I guess to be honest it is a very difficult issue to have a concrete stance on. US law is very ambiguous when it comes to providing services to the public. For example, with liquor, I can deny the sale of liquor to anyone I want depending how I phrase it. I can't say I'm going to deny it...
I'd have to find the thread, but I remember reading a thread about businesses being fined for refusing to host a homosexual wedding reception because of their beliefs. You want equal rights under the law of the U.S. - fine. You want to be able to file as one, medical rights, etc... I'm okay...
So what would you imply is the meaning of keeping kosher?
Okay, I'll play along...
I assume you're referencing this... Woman Arrested For Carrying Torah Near Western Wall
I'm not a big fan of woman being denied the right to read from the Torah, but I understand why they are not allowed.

You made the image that if it was something that HaShem allowed to happen it must be okay. I simply took your argument and plugged in other more socially unacceptable crimes.
So are you for the argument that drugs should be legalized as well? Legalize suicide? Where do we ascertain that these activities are wrong?
So far the criteria that had been posted for weather for not something should be legal is:
I can list hundreds of items that you and others would...
You're the one that implied people are born a certain way and that because of it, it must be okay. I'm simply asking where you draw the line on what is okay and what is not. What criteria do you use?
Where did I say they don't exist? You guys are implying that because I don't believe in something or support it that I'm homophobic. I'm simply saying you would not appreciate me switching homosexuality with Judaism, and homophobic with Anti-Semitic. Yes I believe homosexuality is not...
One thing that bothers me about this is that you're equating people that are against homosexuality as homophobic. It's like me saying that because you are not Jewish and don't believe what I believe, you are anti-semitic. You don't like being labeled, and we don't appreciate it either.
Because we have both been discriminated against, we should be allys? Or automatically agree? What about native americans?
I can list a dozen examples that fit that criteria and I'm pretty confident you would be against some of them.
