I’m Right, and There’s No Way I’m Not
“If I wasn’t right, I’d value what you said a lot more.” – James Golden
Where do you think that quote is from? I’ll give you a minute to come up with something…If you said an argument with a Jewish kid, then you’re right! Yup. You heard it. He’d value what you said a lot more if he wasn’t right. But he is, so, too bad. It started as him telling us his conversation with a rabbi about kosher living that he’d mentioned on facebook (I asked him) and he proceeded to explain. It was pretty long. Oh, and my brother was there to. It was a back and forth thing after a while. You know, we say something, he say something. My bro and I had really different approaches. That’s what I think is sometimes bad about more than one nonbeliever in the same argument – there’s so many things wrong with each religious statement, there are so many ways to disagree with it. And we covered a lot of topics too. All the classics. You know, determinism, purpose, creation, the Old Testament, all that good stuff. I have a harder time staying calm during these things than my brother. He’s awfully good. I think a way me and my brother are different is that, my brother doesn’t need to do all my research and study and findings. Because he can just look at the basics. “What was the purpose of religion, originally? Why do people believe the things that they do?” And so forth. Tis fun times. Near the end of our talk, James said, and I’m paraphrasing, ‘You know what, you guys are right. And I totally agree with what you are saying. It would work for every religon, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, whatever. It just doesn’t work with Judaism, because we’re right.
So remember that, if you are ever in doubt. Atheism is the right choice, unless you’re talking about being Jewish. Because they’re right. They are the chosen ones! He says that sometimes too. Reminds me more than a little of Anakin from Star Wars. “I AM THE CHOSEN ONE!”
