You see though

2019-09-19 02:49:47 UTC  

Then religious Jews

2019-09-19 02:49:51 UTC  

Maybe we could call them Israelite?

2019-09-19 02:49:55 UTC  

Yes

2019-09-19 02:49:55 UTC  

Their depopulation rate peaked around the 14-1600s, @Snake. It was something like nearly 90% had already died off, if memory serves me just.

2019-09-19 02:50:09 UTC  

@Jeremy yeah that’s what I remember

2019-09-19 02:50:18 UTC  

90% is the number

2019-09-19 02:50:18 UTC  

Then, you had the Spanish missionaries, carrying the pox.

2019-09-19 02:50:26 UTC  

Lol.

2019-09-19 02:50:57 UTC  

They were practically an extinct civilization by the time we touched ground, and what was left of them were warring tribes.

2019-09-19 02:50:58 UTC  

Because nothing really ties all ethic Jew populations together. Nothing makes you inherently jewish, however they all have some Israelite DNA

2019-09-19 02:51:04 UTC  

They aren't really Jews, per say

2019-09-19 02:51:08 UTC  

We'd buy some land from one tribe, and another would object.

2019-09-19 02:51:18 UTC  

And this is coming from a guy who's Ashkenazi

2019-09-19 02:51:18 UTC  

We'd enforce our property rights, thereafter.

2019-09-19 02:51:24 UTC  

As we rightfully did.

2019-09-19 02:51:37 UTC  

Quetzoqoatl is Jesus change my mind.

2019-09-19 02:51:45 UTC  

@Tubby the Skelly Bones still it’s a ethnic group

2019-09-19 02:51:48 UTC  

Ashkenazi Jews rise up

2019-09-19 02:51:52 UTC  

Maybe you don’t like the term

2019-09-19 02:51:57 UTC  

Which fair enough

2019-09-19 02:51:59 UTC  

I don't hate the ethnic group, just the term

2019-09-19 02:52:04 UTC  

Lithuanian heritage represent

2019-09-19 02:52:07 UTC  

Obviously lmao

2019-09-19 02:52:11 UTC  

I'm in the ethnic group lol

2019-09-19 02:52:17 UTC  

Yeah lol

2019-09-19 02:52:33 UTC  

Idk I don’t really dislike any of the terms

2019-09-19 02:52:39 UTC  

To me a Jew is someone who practices Judaism

2019-09-19 02:52:46 UTC  

me too

2019-09-19 02:53:13 UTC  

Indeed.

2019-09-19 02:53:17 UTC  

Yeah but Judaism has intertwined its religion with its ethnic identity

2019-09-19 02:53:26 UTC  

So...

2019-09-19 02:53:31 UTC  

It’s like

2019-09-19 02:53:40 UTC  

They’re is a lot of overlap

2019-09-19 02:53:48 UTC  

It just makes sense to me

2019-09-19 02:54:03 UTC  

Not every ethnic Jew is religious

2019-09-19 02:54:05 UTC  

Obviously

2019-09-19 02:54:18 UTC  

yeah I'm an atheist

2019-09-19 02:54:21 UTC  

But a lot of religious Jews are ethnically jewish

2019-09-19 02:54:21 UTC  

I could never really find anything on what makes someone inherently jewish in an ethnic sense. There's not really anything all ethnic jew populations have in common that make them Jewish in a literal sense or genetic sense. It's all Israelite DNA, at least from my understanding

2019-09-19 02:54:27 UTC  

but still considered a Jew
