I was scrolling down this page really quick and somehow read that as "You're open to the concept of God being an Italian"

So that's how you spell Hassidic in english :D

but I don't know if they're a fringe group. I always figured they were a big part, as antwerp is full of 'em.
Hassidic Jews live according to a set rules that dictate their lives. But they concider others inferior

What exactly do you mean by considering others inferior?

Did one of them tell you this?  Did you see it in their own writings?

Or is this an assumption of yours/something some one else told you?



Jews have been accused of considering others inferior since ancient times, starting with the fact that they would not take their meals with non-Jews (owing to dietary laws, but this was considered a big snub back in the days of ancient egypt, greece, and rome, etc.) and later on, as Jews became a very persecuted people, owing to how they simply kept to themselves.



Judaism does not recognize itself as a privilege, but more as a burden.  In order to be a good person, a non-Jew must strive to follow seven laws (the ones given to Noah after the flood.)  A Jew, however, must strive to follow 613 laws.  Conversion in to Judaism is also a difficult process, not because of worthiness or anything like that, but because it is a commitment to following those laws.

Jewish communities can tend to be isolationist, but don't mistake that for xenophobia.

Seems Pen-Pen is still in the 'you lied to me!' phase. After that, perhaps she will evolve into the existentialist/nihilist/hippy phase of 'whatever'.
