 :::Simon  your perspective on Judaism does not correlate with reality.  Judaism is nothing but a religion, and as a result of the common drive of Jews in terms of their religious interests (philosophical focus, sacredness of Israel, hesitation to intermarry among other faiths, etc.), Judaism exists as a nation and a culture as well.  But Judaism does not recognize an individual's desire to leave the religion, and therefor, Marx's personal sentiments are irrelevant to his Jewishness. ''''''  |  16:33, 21 January 2010"
