Jewish Rabbi: Goyim are Here to Server Jews!

Here's an amazing piece of news reported on Secular Daily News. It's one of those post-without-comments features ... you can't add much to this! Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, one of Israel's leading experts on Biblical law, says:

"Goyim non-Jews were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel.

“Why are Gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an aristocrat and eat. That is why Gentiles were created.

“With Gentiles it will be like any person, they need to die but God will give them longevity. Why? Imagine that one’s donkey would die. They would lose profit. Their donkey is their servant. The Goyim is like a donkey to the Jews, they exist only to serve and are only allowed by God to live a long life because they are the beast of burden of the Jews. Were the Goyim to stop serving Jews, God would end their lives.”

What could I possibly add to these wise words? I finally understand my role in this strange world.

Update: I don't want anyone to think I'm serious about my comments about my "role." I was part of a Jewish family for almost ten years, and have great respect for most Jews, as I do for most Christians and Muslims. It's the radicals like Rabbi Yosef who we should all jointly ridicule. I hope that everyone, whether Jewish, Christian, Muslim or Atheist, can agree that Rabbi Yosef deserves no respect.

Christians and Science CAN Get Along

I like to find the more outrageous stories, the ones about Creationists who try to censor science in our school textbooks, or force their ancient morality on modern Christians and others. But today, I was pleased to find an article about mainstream Christianity, one that shows that you don't have to choose between religion and science. You can have both.

The Clergy Letter Project is gathering letters from thousands of Christian pastors, all asserting that science and their faith are not incompatible. As of today, they have over 12,000 signatures from Christians clergy, as well as 600 rabbis and Universalist ministers. That's a lot of clergy!

Not only that, they've sponsored special events for Evolution Weekend since 2005.

Sadly, the Christian Post, where the article appears, felt it necessary to quote, at length, a Christian minister who asserted in no uncertain terms that those who believe in evolution can't possibly be true Christians.
