I'm glad it doesnt.

Ok, so here is a question: What's with her right hand? I could swear I have seen this gesture in other paintings before. Is this some sort of artist custom?

Was it an intended pun?

Unfortunately, no.

Yet I think that had Judaism been more proselytist, it would have gained more followers and, probably, been more fanatical and aggressive.

Yes, that's what I'm counting on, since I assume that ideas like religions take part in a long-term process of evolution. Unfortunately, the most whackiest, edgiest religions seem to be the most fit. Therefore my answer to the top level post.

I never said brainwashing children was ok as far as I can recall.

Fair enough, you didn't. I apologize. I lost track of the chain of posters and mixed you up with the first poster who didn't seem to recognize the dangers of passing belief to children.

As for Judaism, I stand by what I said: it’s not proselytist in the way other religions are, trying to convert other people. I don’t judge it as bad or as good, I don’t care. I just state a fact as I’ve seen/read.

That may be case. Which is possibly why, historically speaking, Judaism doesn't seem to be on the winning side. Which is bad, because it means opportunities for more fanatical, agressive religions.

That’s not proselytising, it’s a while different thing

I don't see your point. How is brainwashing children ok when wololo-ing people is not? Even from an egocentric perspective, you have to live in a society.

Pretty sure you can be born into judaism, though. Chances are, it is even the default scenario with even semi-religious parents.

That's not "keeping to yourself" to me. That's like passing the cigarettes to your kids.

If religious can keep to themselves

Since religions compete, that doesn't sound feasible.

Git, probably

Good idea. Unfortunately this depends on self-regulation.

This and also

• politics or religious
• dull stuff like sports

By "porn", I suppose you mean nudity?

Please clarify, OP, did you mean

• hard to read semantically
• hard to read syntactically
• hard to relate how one could come with such a crappy idea, even considering all constraints of their time
• takes a lot brain real estate (justified or not)
