    @TeagueNoppa: I don't keep Kosher. Never have and never will. Also, I don't keep the Sabbath. I haven't been to shul in months and I skipped both hearing the shofar and fasting this year.

    There's a whole helluva lot of prohibitions I regularly disobey. And there are a lot of other Jews in America (and around the world) who are Jewish in spite of not following Talmudic law.

    However, I still very much consider myself a Jew, as every one of my ancestors was also Jewish.

    Is a person who does not follow the teachings of Jesus but believes in Jesus nonetheless not a Christian?

    @OMG! Ponies!:

    -ian 1. Of, relating to, or resembling.
    2. One relating to, belonging to, or resembling.

    So without relating to, belonging to, or resembling Jesus or his teachings, I would not consider someone who just believes in Jesus a Christian.

    What you're confusing is the Jewish religion and the Jewish culture/background. They are very intertwined, but there is a difference between being of Jewish descent and being a follower of the Jewish faith.

    @cabjf: I am a Jew and I'd really appreciate you not telling me that I'm confused. A non-observant Jew is a just as much a Jew as an observant one.

    What is it that makes you feel fit to judge someone's religious beliefs?
