The More You Learn...

Our good friend MC is back with questions for Ari about Judaism.
All I have to say is oye! Now I have such a headache.
* i'm sure once Ari sees this.. there will be commentary so stay tuned for an update.

MC: i want to learn more about Jewishness - this time about death
MC: and what they do
Me: i don't know any of that stuff
Me:look in a book
MC:oh come on
MC: you don't know how they die?
Me:um they die just like any human does
MC:but don't' they have to be buried on a time line
Me:yes
Me:right away
Me: sometimes no autopsy
MC: why no autopsy?
MC: what if i poisoned one
Me:if there was foul play maybe
Me:Ari's away
Me: ill ask him when he comes back online

MC: is he like a pseudo rabbi?
Me:no hes just a real Jew
Me:I'm not
MC: oh he did a mitzvah
Me:what?
Me:you mean he had a barmitzvah?
MC:same thing
Me:doing a mitzvah is like doing something good
MC:potato pota-toe
Me: oh boy
MC: that's like the catholic version of confirmation
MC: you eat bread, and get money
Me:yes but barmitzvahs are so much more fun
Me:they're like sweet 16s
Me:HUGE parties
MC:can non Jews go to Jew sweet 16s?
Me:um...you mean a barmitzvah
MC:yea
Me: i used to go to them all the time for friends when i was in middle school
MC:maybe i should throw myself a bat mitzvah
Me:um i don't think you can do that
Me:why not?
Me: bc you're not Jewish or a girl. nor do you want to be
MC:this is true
MC: i like cheeseburgers
Me: right
Me: see there you go
*********************************************************************

MC: omg so i went out to dinner the other night
MC: and we had a Jew at the table
MC: and i was like what are you doing?! you are violating kosher rules!
MC: get this! she had MASHED POTATOES and STEAKTIPS!
Me: so
Me: whats wrong with that
Me: potatoes aren't dairy
MC: they are made with milk!
Me: Mark!
Me: shut the fuck up!
MC: you know, you try to learn something, and people shit on you.
Me: you're being ridiculous
MC: irregardless, i had a point.

Me: what did your friend say?
MC: she agreed
MC: she's not a real practicing one
MC: she didn't care

Me: and u don't have to make mashed potatoes with milk
MC: no i guess you don't
MC: but they did
Me: but also why do u care so much
MC:i don't
MC:the Jewish death question arose
MC: cuz i have a Jewish friend who's Jewish uncle just started to die
Me: kosher Jews would ask... they also probably wouldn't eat at a restaurant that wasn't kosher
MC:and she was referencing the whole burial thingie
Me: not all Jews are kosher
***************************************************************************

MC: okay i gotta get off this Jewish kick
Me: yes u do
MC: but we are in luck
MC: since December is the most catholic month ever
MC: we own this month
Me: we do
MC: and all the malls too
Me: tomorrow is a feast day isn't it
MC: i don't' know, i just know presents
Me: oh man
MC: which is the 24th and 25th


*I was right....

Ari: i have my own sources too -- "Autopsies in general are discouraged as desecration of the body. They are permitted, however, where it may save a life or where local law requires it. When autopsies must be performed, they should be minimally intrusive. "

me: ok

what are your sources

Ari: ha! like i would ever reveal them to pagans like you

Ari www.jewfaq.org --- and that's FAQ not what it looks like
