How the Jew stole Christmas

Many Jewish kids I heard from were permitted to watch the Grinch every year, yet somehow nobody (including my parents) is able to explain why this is so. Nearly everyone who wrote to me explained that the Boris Karloff version of the Grinch was "a classic."

What surfaces is a universal (and discomfiting) sense that the Grinch is a fundamentally Jewish show because the Grinch himself is a fundamentally Jewish character. I got one e-mail that concluded, "Who is more of a Grinch than a grumpy old Jew?" And a Jew with a heart problem no less?

But why do Jewish parents want to be pushing this peculiarly self-loathing vision of the bitter old Jewish man on their kids? Do we drag our kids to see The Merchant of Venice? If anything, the Grinch-as-old-Jew notion... is the ultimate fantasy for a Jewish kid with a case of Santa/tree/carols envy―Christmas, canceled."

Buddhism is the religion of laziness. Apparently it's not starvation that causes suffering but wanting to feed yourself and your family. Mao was a vicious murderer but looking at China's inferior culture I can kind of understand why he did it.

Maybe it is because America has been the land of freedom for so long that religion has had the time to develop into something more amusing, rational and productive than the dull traditionalism of churches in europe.

Not everything can be proven with testable evidence. Can you prove to me you are not a philosophical zombie?

Your argument is contradictory. Can you prove enlightenment is possible?
