comment Bris vs. critical thinking?
Assume that I'm (a) a feminist, (b) non-religious, and (c) sometimes quite sarcastic. You might then get it.

comment Looking for more information about a story of positive atheism/heresy
Atheists generally do not accept this point of view. Made me giggle.

Which is, of course, why only boys are circumcised.

@AviD. You're assuming facts not in evidence, such as that Collin's objection is on medical grounds. It may be that Collin does not want to override his child's consent and right to self-determination.

comment Is it proper for a man to hold open a door for a woman?
It's never occurred to me to "open the door for a woman" specifically. I hold doors open if there's someone walking behind me.

comment What are the issues with wearing gloves on Shabbos?
So just do what parents of small children do: attach the gloves to each other by a string passed up the sleeves of the coat. Doesn't everyone do that?

comment How does someone not know they're Jewish?
@HodofHod. "Religion is supposed to be authoritarian." You don't know much about religion in general, do you? Your religion may be authoritarian. "Religion" in general is not. Speak for yourself. "What G-d says, goes. Period." Methinks you need to talk to some Neopagans. Do not make categorical and plainly wrong statements about religion in general. It's arrogant to think that other religions are just different versions of yours. Some are very very different. In many, if a god gave a plainly immoral order, the correct response is pushback. Wiccans won't sacrifice their firstborn.

comment Is it acceptable to use software which incidentally blocks ads?
@msh210. In other words, Ad blocking software is perfectly acceptable, with no doubt at all, therefore software which only incidentally blocks ads is absolutely definitely acceptable and this isn't an interesting question. Am I interpreting that correctly?

I assume that makes sense to someone. Necessary context.

comment Neighbors inappropriate mail
A yeshiva has a policy of screening all incoming student mail Some religious institutions (I don't know anything about yeshivas, specifically) can be intrusive without acknowledging it anywhere, so the student has not agreed to have zir post screened, and does not know it is being screened. Does that make a difference?

comment Non-belief in Torah's divinity - Wickedness or Ignorance?
Muslims certainly think the Torah is obsolete (and corrupt). Christian views are more complicated, and many Christians still pay close attention to their "Old Testament".

comment Is Christianity Avodah Zara?
Vatican II has no bearing at all on many Christians.
