Where the hell do you live? I want to be able to move there to get away from door-2-door Christians.

@everyone else:
Ok I think I see what people are saying. Jewish can mean like African, French, etc as descendant other than just as the chosen practiced religion.
It would be like saying I am an Indian, because Columbus fucked up and couldn't read a map.
Bill Maher is half Jewish even though...well you can watch the movie Religilous yourself and see what he is or isn't...but his mother is Jewish meaning he is part Jewish even though he never knew it for years.
Don't know why that didn't hit me right off the bat. Maybe because I: a) don't know anyone that is Jewish, or b) they don't force the matter into the open because it really doesn't matter in day to day life of everyone around them like those crazy Christians do.
@tzor:
I thought all "Jews" came from Egypt originally, so how can they only be considered to be "maybe" a third group? You know the whole Moses, Red Sea, 10 Commandments, etc....
