A people generally means those living in a certain area or those born of certain people. In as much as Judaism is a religion and in the context I was discussing, it is not a people because the fact that you live in an area or are born of someone Jewish does not mean that you choose to practice Judaism. This is really a silly semantic argument, because I think you know what I meant. If you want to call someone Jewish who doesn't choose to associate themselves with the religious aspects of Judaism, fine. But that wasn't a group I was referring to. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
