Yacov then you are an idiot to think I am a self hating Jew.
May G-d forgive your naive and stupid actions, because I never will.
maybe you are the idiot? You ask a question on a forum for Jews, and then react angrily and ignorantly when you don't get the answer you were looking for - even though a shocking amount of users did tell you what you wanted to hear.
I'm sorry - go back to my post (on the previous page) for more of why you are actually wrong in thinking you can stretch the religion to fit your needs, and why body ink AND cremation are wrong.
Bottom line - Jews have a RULING BODY (like all other religions) of scholars who dedicate their lives to studying, deciphering, and modernizing the scriptures and the laws handed down to us as Har Sinai. If you do not agree with these rulings, then in my opinion (and the opinion of Jewry worldwide) you are OUTSIDE of the religion. You are the one who is wrong! You are the one who has made some perverted reasoning to justify the fact that you have broken our laws, and plan to break our laws again in the future!
Jews during the Holocaust were TORMENTED by the every-day depravity and disgusting circumstances they were forced through. But even THEN, they looked to Rabbi's and scholars available to pass judgements on what was considered Halacha, and what was not! Even those who were made to have tattoo's during the holocaust - the very same people you exploit in your disgusting justification for breaking Jewish law currently, when things are GOOD - went to Rabbis and other scholars learned in the Halacha to see what acts were and were not permissible.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU LOOK AT THIS LINK:

I dont hate you, but I do hate when people blatantly violate and flaunt the age-old traditions and laws of our religion, and trying to reason with themselves somehow that they are NOT doing just this!
What you are asking people to approve of is a clear double-face; on one hand your actions go directly AGAINST judaism, yet on the other hand you claim that you adhere to the laws and consider yourself a Jew.
