Dennis Prager attempts to explain the liberalism of Jews, and in doing so, underlines my previous assertion:
Despite their secularism, Jews may be the most religious ethnic group in the world. The problem is that their religion is rarely Judaism….
The Jews’ religious fervor emanates from the origins of the Jewish people as a religious people elected by God to help guide humanity to a better future. Of course, the original intent was to bring humanity to ethical monotheism, God-based universal moral standards, not to secular liberalism or to feminism or to socialism. Leftist Jews have simply secularized their religious calling.
So it appears that what this religious Jew is writing today is pretty much what I posted two days ago, namely, most Jews don’t believe in their own religion. Prager actually goes farther than I did in stating that liberal Jews actually “fear most religion”. I merely noted that secular Jews appear to harbor about as much respect for other religions as they do for the tooth fairy and postulated that this might be due to the lack of regard they have for their own.
