Perhaps the single most debated thing in the entire world, next to abortion. Involves major characters from religions across the world, such as Islam and Judaism. In all three religions, a single God stays in the middle of all conflict, with differing views depending on the religion one is looking at.

The major difference with Christianity, though, is that Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was born around the year 0 (while most scholars now believe the date could have been a couple of years later), was and is divine. The story behind Jesus is that God, the loving, caring, creator of the universe, saw that the world was slowly sinking into it's own evil, and sent his only son to save the people, by offering himself as a sacrifice to cleanse the sins of the people of the earth. This form of sacrifice dates back to early Jewish practices, except that instead of an innocent human, animals were sacrificed to please God and beg for forgiveness.

There is no doubt that Jesus Christ did exist, as three major world religions do make references about him, only in differing ways. The Jews think he was a prophet, not the Messiah (perhaps because his teaching went against many of the things that Jews originally thought), the Muslims think he was a prophet, but that he had little significance besides the fact that he was a wise man, and the Christians think he was divine.

Personal Opinion: For all of you athiests out there, I understand that believing in an a...

Ebionism denies the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, that Jesus was the son of Joseph and Mary, put forth by the second century Jewish deviant sect known as the Ebionites (Hebrew - "the poor").

A nation with a tortured history in the heart of Europe where governmental support of the arts and artists is a given. Germany's closest friend and ally is France (whose armies, under Napoleon, raped and pillaged their way across the Rhine between 1805 and 1806). Traditionally both a Roman Catholic and a Lutheran country, depending on the region, Germany now has the fastest-growing Jewish population in the world. The Austrians are ethnic Germans (Austria was historically the most powerful German state until its defeat by Prussia in 1866); the Swiss are not.

like christianity vs catholicism,
Yehudianity (vs yehudism) is a laidback conglomeration of jewish practices, with a smattering of other peoples traditions, like chistmas, thrown in for fun.

Basicaly a feel-good version of yehudism similar to reform, but more true to jewish principles (like not getting tattoos, resting on the 7th day, kashrut, literacy and a knowledge of history, sunday school, torah of some sort, and all the cool jewish holidays...)

Foodways are a study or example of a culture of a people through their dietary habits. A foodway is not only the things people do and do not eat, but why they eat them or not, not to mention the traditions and history that help define that culture.

A kick-ass anti-racism movie about a Jewish skinhead. Better than American History X.
