...and people get strange with me when I say that I am a Jewish atheist. Yes, I know to be Jewish is to be a part of a religion. One test Jews have for deciding if someone is Jewish is to ask if your mother was Jewish, and Jews consider me Jewish because my mother was Jewish. (My father also drank a lot of Scotch. BUT that doesn't make me Liquor-ish ;-) Absinthe also tastes like licorice. (But "absinthe", some say, "makes the fart grow honder." ;-)

Comes down to me feeling that I am defined as Jewish by Hitler and his kind who would've burnt me to death in a concentration camp oven because of who my mom was! That is, in the end pretty much, definitive from where I'm sitting.
