JQP123"According to the Bible, we're all descended from Adam and Eve so what defines a Jew anyway?"Dude, read the Bible, it says that God created the Jews when he miraculously gave his friend Abraham a son called Isaac. He didn't choose the Jews, he made them so that they might become a blessing to all nations - by showing them how to live and then through Jesus paying for everyone's sin so that we can be free from it.

Apparrently the bible allows me to own mexican and canadian slaves.Back in the day... the word "Slave" didn't mean "slaves" as we know the term now, they were servants that were "paid" for, and they paid them. Think more like an indentired servant, simpler... think of a butler, not another countryman picking cotton in the field. The surrounding country thing was because at any given time they didn't want to tap the resources of one particular country over another being fair and not taking all their good workers."Kill those who work on Sunday...Supercuts is the devil.Why is there a pope then?"This kinda all rolls into one sacrifice priestly type of thing... Now I wouldn't call the pope an idol, although some do practically worship the guy. The old school religions (read: "old law/testament" followers) still believe in a "go between" in order to be able to talk to God. There is/was a priest or intermediary that does the sacrificing for us since we were the sinners, they were special and would kill the sheep for you. Simply put the pope is a leftover religiouos icon that the Catholic church still holds to. Protestants read the bible and told them they were wrong, this is why ireland is filled with people blowing each other up. Look Catholics, not bad people, their church is so legalistic and full of external rules you have to follow in order to be supposedly spiritual, but in reality all you do is measure yourselves to a human standard, not God's. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice and eliminated needs for sacrifices for sinning like working on "Sunday" Definitely now, no one is to be put to death for that, although if all there was were Chick-Fil-A joints we'd all surely die...of starvation... but they're Mormon's and that's another post... anyhow... you don't need a go between, you don't need to go to a priest/pope anymore. Not to mention all have sinned, so that guy with the fancy hat and the fancy bulletproof go-cart is not infallible... but anyhow arguing about the whole catholic/pope/religion thing is a whole other post ;) Disclaimer: Poster does not hate the people... only the antarticans... they can freeze to death...
