Very thorough list, btw.
Not even close. Just for me, lacking was Conservative Judaism, or Agnostic Judaism. There's also the hippie 'drum and tambourine' sect, Jewish Renewal. I could go on, but you see where lists like this can go...

'Protestants are basically liberals'? Episcopals possibly, but try telling that to the Southern Baptists! They'll give you a whooping.
There's a technical maximum of 10 poll options. Had there been more the option for more options...there would have been more options.

I know there is a difference between Conservative and Orthodox Judaism, but if I had to change it I would only change it to "Orthodox or Conservative Judaism", since I imagine the difference between Orthodox and Conservative Judaism is smaller than the difference between either of those vs. Reform Judaism. As for Agnostic Judaism, if that's what you adhere to, the obvious option is "Agnostic or Cultural Christian", since you'd also be in the "Culturally religious" grouping. I figured people could deduce based on the given religious options where they fit best? :think:

Fair nuff then.

I'd say not true. Reform has drifted more to conservative over the years as people realized that if you pitch enough tradition you have nothing left. In general, Conservatives like an old fashioned service with lots of Hebrew, but are egalitarian, no sexism in the house, and aren't much inclined to truly follow the Mitzvot, the specific rules like governing food and the Sabbath. Conservatives are more inclined than reform to give some form of lip service to the rules, like eating almost any non-kosher meat, but not pork. Old joke: what do you call a conservative Jew who keeps kosher?...............Rabbi. That said, I know Conservative individuals and even communities that are Orthodox in all but the sexist practices.

And here I was thinking my poll was so very inclusive and diversified. :snooty: Now I just need clubby to tell me that whatever Judaism he follows, if he follows any, isn't represented either.

One thing for sure, Clubby follows the RIGHT Judaism! Don't sweat it, this was never a game you were going to win...

Would not the right form of Judaism simply be keeping the Covenant, even though you don't have a Temple any longer?

Well, it looks like the election is closed. This is now the Martin Hash Catholic Forum.
