    The sarcastic air quotes reveal your bias towards organized religion as a whole as well as your ignorance of Jewish culture.

    Science and education are a fundamental part of Jewish culture. Someone regarded as one of the smartest people in recent history is Jewish and I imagine that without his parents valuing education and science, the rest of us would still think time and space are two separate things.

    Yes, there are orthodox and dogmatic Jews just like in any religion. But just because someone has a much different world view than you doesn’t mean they don’t value reason.

      doesn’t mean they don’t value reason.

      … they believe in 3000 year old fairy tales. They don’t value reason any more than any other religion. Reason gets in the way.
