I'm a Christian, but the bible tells us we are "Jews by adoption."
Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." Understand then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you." So, those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. — Galatians 3:6 - 9 NIV
Elsewhere we are specifically told we are "Jews by adoption" (don't have time to look it up at the moment.)
I'm a Jew by injection. I married one.

She'd be wearing a sari, eschewing beef, and giving prasadas to multi-limbed Elephant Gods, not insisting that Christianity is the one true religion.
Again, your ignorance strikes again. Several Christians exist in India. Many Indians eat beef (even Hindus). Indians don't insist that Christianity is not a religion. You're quite uneducated about religion and culture so perhaps you should stop talking about it.

Ha, ha! So did a client of ours, that we used to do work for (retired now). Two of our favorite people! Their entire family is nice. We even were invited to the daughters Batmitzvah! They celebrated both Chanukah and Christmas ... such a crack up. Very nice people. We did several jobs for them in two different houses.

I called them a couple of weeks ago about getting a cocktail table repaired. The daughter is now married and has a set of twins!

Perhaps you should stop. And maybe learn to read. I never said that Hindus claim Christianity is not a religion.

Again, 96% of Americans celebrate the national holiday.

Most Floridians are Christians as well
I think your thread has been hijacked. No surprise.

Probably be living in a sewer pipe, as well. No joke... a company I worked for at one time sent one of the salesmen to India on a sales trip, and he had the photos to prove it. The U.S. had sent large concrete sewer pipes to India to upgrade their sewer system. But before the work could be done, street people moved into the pipes and made them their home! The laws are such that they could not be removed.

That was the typical response from a leftist, to claim that you are "uneducated." This is how they portray opponents in any argument, so as to discredit them. Ridicule, shame, call them racist; anything to discredit and and silence them.

You do realize that the person she is responding to actually called her "uneducated" and "ignorant", right?
