Id suggest these laws create the very core of prejudice , religiously instilled generation to generation in fact is there duty to be prejudice with a passion or they dis obey god .
Judaism could remove these laws if they chose today is 2016 ?
This law in particular
Not to round the corners of the head, as the idolatrous priests do (Lev. 19:27) (CCN176). Was added at a later date , is proof it can be changed .
You call me prejudice cause my grandad cleaned the maggots out of the wounds of those survivors of the holocaust ?
To change my religion to Judaism I'm required to hate my christian mother and father and family , all Hindus and most of Islam.
Is to much hatred to even consider conversion
