Thread Name: Anti-Semitism : A Mon Like Thee
Subject: RE: Anti-Semitism : A Mon Like Thee
Mind you — *definition*, as we all know, is the bugbear of Catters when it comes to Folk — &, to introduce a new wrinkle, in a way when it comes to Jews too. My family were, & quite a prominent family in the Community too - my grandfather founded, & my father succeeded as editor, the only Yiddish daily paper in London. But I have been an atheist since about 15, except for trying Baptism·&·Confirmation to Anglicanism in early middle-age, when crises notoriously occur. But, as my late wife [who was Anglican from birth] said, it never really took, & after a few years I reverted to my default position of absolute Atheism. Still, one's genes are one's genes — so whether I am, by definition, qualified to respond to Gurney's post 2 back, is perhaps not for me to say.
