Stupid Jews Make Me Nuts
The only thing worse than an ignorant person is a person who does not know they are ignorant: they think that they are wise and intelligent, philosopher kings in all things. It is one reason why I hate politicians so deeply: they are so very certain of their wisdom and expertise as they shove it down our throats as if it were all really “for our own good.”
I have this same problem with people who were born into Jewish families, but know less than nothing about Torah Judaism – which does not stop them from dismissing the Torah as “foolish and superstitious.” They grow up secure in the knowledge that they are more enlightened than all their forebears: that they are, in fact, too enlightened to believe in anything at all, except their own intellectual greatness.
