An Oyster at Passover
April 22, 2011
A NEW YORK TIMES writer takes his Passover meal with an oyster, inspiring this excellent discussion at VFR. This sort of irreverence – shellfish is prohibited under Jewish law – is typical. The liberal Jew sees himself as superior to his ancestral faith and scorns it every bit as much as he does Christianity.
As one commenter remarks:
These people, be they liberal Jews or liberal Christians, are always liberals first, and their liberalism consciously or unconsciously is used to undermine their religion. Thus all the anti-Semites who think Jews are out to undermine Christianity ought to be sent the NYT article. The liberal Jews undermine and desecrate their own religion in the name of their One True Faith, which is transnational progressivism. Just as liberal Christians are not somehow “duped” by Jews, but undermine their own religion in the name of their One True Faith, which is also transnational progressivism (a.k.a. universalism).
