Holmes will say words that rhyme with "eary" a lot, so listen. Or don't.

Did Dan always take off the Jewish holidays or is this a new thing?

Yeah he is a big organized religion guy... when it suits him.

Spending time with your family doesn't have to be organized religion.

Janueery

I mean, I don't think it's any of our places to tell someone how he or she should or shouldn't observe. And I think it's understood that "the evils of organized religion" generally doesn't include Judaism because, well, frankly, it's not evil. You can observe traditions within your family and still criticize an enormous global hierarchy.

Dan may not be into religion

I recommend watching the services on the Internet to avoid paying synagogue membership fees and the annoyances of traffic, not to mention all the other obnoxious Jews.

Ok well I see taking advantage of a day of with family and I guess I would too. Leary busted Dan on still being a twitter machine today but not related. I do not get your point that I bolded?

No, I think he's plenty into religion. If you listen between the lines, he knows his stuff.

Well, Reform Judaism at this point is basically liberal Protestantism with more flair and fewer bake sales. There's no international system of child rape, there's no pushy evangelizing. It's really hard for me to objectively find fault with it as a denomination.

Depends on what is meant by knowledge I guess, and the extent of his knowledge. I don't listen much when it's just general discussion, but from the little I hear all I sense is just standard post-modern skepticism and revulsion of religion.

Thanks for clarifying. My recent years have been spent thinking all and I mean all religions and/or sub categories have some level of evil lurking somewhere. Probably a Catholic thing.

There's no probably about it! If you spend 12 years letting those nasty, lesbian, man hating nuns emasculate you, it's gonna leave a mark! Took me years to shake Catholicism out of my brain!

I went to Catholic school for 6 years. I had nothing but respect (I.E. fear) for the nuns & priests. I also was an altarboy,so FU with your disrespect.
