Pariah said:
Jay is saying that the Jews were sheep that were hypnotized by the Jewish philosophy. He saying that if they were goats, they wouldn't have followed its teachings. i.e. He's a condescending prick.



I said no such thing and I'm not a condescending prick. Why don't you drop the theatrics and address my original statement, a functionalist perspective of religion. Since you've done nothing but insult me personally, may I assume you have no logical argument to rebut me?

PenWing, my argument was directed toward the institution of religion, not at any specific religion. Isn't that the topic? I don't want to argue about the specifics of any religion. I can, if you'd like, say something provocative and put on my flame retardent jammies. But wouldn't it be more fun to watch Pariah do gymnastics?

The sheep v goats thing was a joke.
