I'm a Jewish writer, and a writer who sometimes publishes in the Jewish press. While I'd love to connect with other Jewish writers, I'm not going to post on threads where the non-Christian and non-Pagans are relegated to "other" status.
Torin said:Islam is also relegated to "Other" as is Buddhism, Hinduism, and countless others. Odd, really, that such major religions are being shunted into one big lump.

Gehanna said:Religious titles are something I've struggled to ever understand. There is as much interconnectedness between the various religions as there are differences.
When religious titles create frustration, resentment and negativity of any kind, for any reason, I must reiterate that religious titles are something I've struggled to ever understand.
My saying this does not mean I lack particular beliefs but rather that I am secure enough in them not to be offended by labels.
Sincerely,
Gehanna
Just for the record--There were multiple requests for a Christian forum, and then requests for a Pagan or Neopagan forum.I think the feeling was that they didn't know if there was enough interest to support a Jewish forum. They did know that there were Christians and Pagans who wanted their own forums.
