Is nationalism idol-worship?

Examples of these idolatrous ideologies are the non-Jewish concept of nationalism … (page 416, Secular by Design, by Alan Cecil) “Rav S. R. Hirsch was vehemently opposed to a hollow, empty, secular nationalism based on race and shared historical accident…to the Jewish world-view, this `nationalism’ is none other than the worst example of idol worship.” […]

I reject “Noahidism!”

I think it’s because of the link between those willingly calling themselves “noahide” (I don’t) and the Jews that there seems to be this term “Noahidism.” Maybe the logic is this: just as “Judaism” is the religion of the Jews, “Noahidism” is the religion of the Noahide. There’s another term called “Noahism” that is used […]

Interview with a 7-Laws-Cognizant Gentile: HRV

Today, I thought I would do an interview with a Croat (a person from Croatia) who embraces the seven laws and share his views with the few who read my blog. I call him HRV, and he is known more fully as Hrvatski Noahid. I might be hyping it up, calling it an interview when […]

When to answer pt 2

As I had said in a previous post, I don’t simply answer questions posed to me online. I believe that the Jewish Bible and common wisdom warns against simply answering any stranger that comes to your door. But I was reminded of it again today when I was asked what seemed like an innocent question […]

If you need a law to be good, you must be wicked

I remember an argument along the following lines: “I don’t need a god to tell me what’s right and wrong.” “Just how immoral must you [the ethical theist] be? So if God didn’t command you, you would just go out doing all these bad things? Have you no self-control? You have to have a god […]

The grounds of judgment

“Mohammed was a paedophile!” “75% of Jews owned slaves and provided slave ships.” “The whites not only took part in the slave trade but they also ended it.” “Ancient societies did human sacrifices but had exceptional mathematical and architectural knowledge.” Aloof, the modern person, the “modern,” looks back on history from his throne, from his […]

Coddling injustice in one’s bosom

… the commandment of Justice is a commandment to stand up and take action, and nevertheless he counts it among the seven commandments … This commandment contains a requirement to stand up and take action, i.e., the obligation to establish courts and carry out justice, and it also contains a requirement to sit and refrain […]

Adding the state

I thought to myself that, since deleting most of my social media accounts, I hadn’t really looked at anything from those who call themselves noahides or their teachers. So one organisation that came to mind was the Noahide World Centre (http://en.noahideworldcenter.org/ – they spell it as “center”). I must have been crazy to consider them […]

The Project pt 11: The Divine Code – Intentions

So just to mention, this is part 11. If you feel any bit lost, feel free to start at the beginning of this endeavour to figure what’s going on. But I’m just reviewing the book, “The Divine Code.” The Divine Code, Part II, Chapter 3, topic 12 says this. One who slaughters to the mountains […]

Then why would they keep them? – The Atheist and the Seven Laws

So recently I was writing about the scum-like nature or sub-scum level of atheism, how I find it to be a vacuous stance. But I never want to have my opposition against atheism mistaken for something else. I’ve said it in the past and I’ll say it again: if an atheist can be a law-abiding […]
