Why don't Jews eat pork? According to Howard Stern Part 2

[stravos11]

When he's saying Orthodox is he refering to some sort of orthodox Jewish beliefs? Cuz christian orthodoxy is nothing like that. In many cases we're more "flexible" for example priests can marry/have sex , in fact they are expected to ( by "we" I'm refering to 80% of the people in my country)

[mgaft]

@stravos11 Surely Howard doesn’t speak about Christianity. There are 3 main varieties of Jewish religious conduct: Orthodox, Conservative and Reformed. As far as I know, unlike Orthodox and Roman Catholic, where the difference is theological and philosophical, the difference in Jewish denominations is in how literally the Old Testament should be taken.

[calaftheeast]

Is the king like 10 years old? The guy seems to have the general knowledge of a child. He sounds so dumb.

[phendformyself]

Well, Fred has spoken. I guess that's the answer.

[Camel76]

So, Fred knows everything? -_-

If he is correct then I have a lot of things to do. Bad things. ;)

[MRBLACKPEARL04]

I been attacked by demons and if they r real so is God

[Sumoto999]

Einstein believed in the god of creation and majesty. He didn't believe in a floating guy in the sky. He said that the Universe could have been ugly and chaotic, yet all the laws of physics could be written on a single piece of paper. This is how he came up with many of his theories. Man made religion is allegorical and symbolic. But Einstein did respect a higher order to the universe. That is the god he believed in. The god of creation.

[mannyamaya]

im lookin at the comments.... does anybody know wtf einstein was????

[mgaft]

@mannyamaya

Do you mean ethnically? He was a German Jew.

[mannyamaya]

@mgaft nah, i was talking about religion..it was kind of a joke, since everyone has a different 'fact' about einstein's choice of faith, or lack thereof

[mgaft]

@mannyamaya Got it. There is a big difference between practicing a specific religion and believing that our Universe is intelligently created. I think many people would fall under that later umbrella, including, perhaps, Einstein. I, for instance, came from an atheistic background, but had an experience that made me sort of wonder. I even made a vid about it. It’s calls “How I found God through algebra”

[MindstormRecs]

Einstein believed in god so that must mean something, he was one intelligent man out of thousands. There's a lot of intelligent people that don't believe in fairytale nonsense lol

[donkids]

king of all blacks is an ignorant idiot.

[VVV717]

Einstein is a fucking deist, a DEIST, not an Atheist.

[CarissaXo99]

Go Fred!

[Freefalldreams]

What kind of idiots are these people? I hope they eat bad lobster, catfish, clams, and shrimp.

[tsartodd]

to be fair, Robin may have read about Einstein's beliefs about God secondhand through someone who "interpreted" those beliefs as being theistic.

i can understand where Howard is coming from and i can tell some stories about being raised Roman Catholic. i do believe in God, but I have doubts about the Church and religion in general (like Howard does about Judaism and religion in general).

[vardor]

baba booey



[potsiejones711]

9:33 fucking bengyi

[TheHoliday555]

no wonder Fred is depressed LOL

[shmuli9]

Pig is a lot closer to a "kosher" animal than a lot of things that some unobservant Jews eat (like shellfish, catfish, and rabbit). Pigs HAVE cloven hooves, but they don't chew cud. The reason pork is so reviled by Jews is because that was the main meat forced upon the Jews in Spain, and in general Europe (ie "eat pork and show what a good Christian you are") ...

[JonothanSiple777]

Actually Einstein was jewish

[NoJboysAPN0Journey]

ja ja ja you are not choosen person.

[mattshane]

Robin is a such a fucktard.

[zo62]

Howard seems like a winer with this.

[jaylias]

yeah Robyn kinda fucked up there. Einstein used "God" as a metaphorical explanation of what science is yet to uncover in the universe, or pieces to the puzzle that perhaps we will never find. Oh well at least Fred summed it up well !

[josh18230]

Fred is one hell of an optimist. Least I know all the answers now.

[spacetimecontinuum]

Super Jew squared to the tenth power!!!

You're swarzedem(sp) please.

Bwahhhhhhhhhaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[spacetimecontinuum]

Super Jew squared to the tenth power!!!

You're swarzedem(sp) please.

Bwahhhhhhhhhaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[scattershot1]

I believe in god but religion is a bunch of horse shit! perfect quote!!

[katey1dog]

Yeah, my mother talks that shit too.

Funny!

[t4b5klh]

to clear it up ARTIE... MUD-Howard texting? answer... EVOLUTION.

[nag73]

I thought that was a great answer by Fred.

[loturos]

our bodies move via electrical impulses, thats what "animates" us. when we die the earth or whatever is around us absorbs it.

[loturos]

religion should be destroyed, and poor people should take to the streets. society would be better without governments and corporations.

[htezerdi]

einstein was an atheist.

[MyMotorPurrs]

FRED! FRED! FRED! FRED!

[4kurtcobain]

black people have music on their blood...their music in church is good..not boring

[yarealpoof]

I could listen to Howard all day, his frankness is both hilarious and refreshing after a day filled with bullshit from everyone else in the media.

[Constavlos]

i'm with fred, i don't worry about these things or have any personal turmoil with or against. there's bigger stuff at hand.

[joshuarayborn]

Einstein talks about god as a particle

[MEEG0L]

"how do you explain how we went from mud to texting" and 8th grade bio class can explain that, Also Einstein was an admitted atheist, Robin as usual doesn't know wtf she's talking about.

[GaeasBlessing]

Robin is wrong, as always. Einstein was an atheist. He used the word "God" figuratively, as a term for everything unknown about the universe.

[pboisei]

@GaeasBlessing

I am not sure that he was so sure.

[xxdiogenescynicxx]

@GaeasBlessing Nope Einstein was a panentheist.

[famouswwefan]

@GaeasBlessing einstein was a jew dude

[GaeasBlessing]

@famouswwefan He was born an ethnic Jew and may have been raised to believe in Judaism, as most children born to Jewish families are. He was NOT a practicing religious Jew as an adult. There is no question of this. Even the quotes taken out of context to make him look like a deist say nothing of religion.

[Notasheep187]

@GaeasBlessing HES A CATHOLIC 

[hattrickster33]

@GaeasBlessing No...that is what he made it out to be not to be ridiculed by the scientific community.

[iown813]

@GaeasBlessing he was Agnostic you dumbass

[mrodriques]

@GaeasBlessing Actually, Einstein was not atheist. He was not particularly religious. He believed that science and religion could co-exist.

[wendyspear]

@GaeasBlessing Actually Einstein believed in God, a god that made the universe but not a god that cares about our human feelings or aspirations.

[temdatli]

"What is the thing that animates us?" "Hanna Barbera?" Funny joke.

But I believe the answer is called a brain... and when that dies so do we..

The answers to life can be answered simply. Simply by observing the world. 1. We don't exist. 2. We are born. 3. We live. 4. We die. 5. We don't exist.

We don't experience death, we have no consciousness of it, just as we didn't experience non existance before we were born. That seems to be the only logical way to look at it.

[dustydirt]

oh fred. wake up. professing to be wise, they became fools. don't be a fool fred.

[JParadox]

lmfAO

[dustydirt]

the bibles says: God has placed eternity in our hearts. somewhere deep inside us, we know there's something after this life. howard stern tries to deny, but he can't... its that eternity in his heart.

[729Drew]

"Super Jews squared to the 10th power" lol

[truepridejb]

False religions make it so easy for people to denouce the exsistence of a Creator.

[maikeru01]

einstein didn't believe in god robin you dumb bitch.

[Krowsnose]

From most of what I've read einstein was pantheist. You could argue that's a believe in god. Really I think all it means is he believes there's a spiritual side to our existence.

[gatsu6969]

maikeru01 einstein did believe in god, though not sure why this gets your panties in a bunch. in a famous argument with Bohr, he argued that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle was wrong because god does not play dice with the universe. strong atheist like yourself who force your beliefs are just as fucked up as any religious nut.

[temdatli]

"God does not play dice with the universe" sounds like a figure of speech to me. Not that it really matters though. Einstein was a very smart man but not infallable. What he believed proves or disproves nothing about the existance of god. Because god does not reveal himself to us we must conclude either he does not exist or he is invisable. If invisable, why?

I agree with you though that extreme atheists can sometimes be as bad as extreme theists at trying to push their beliefs onto others.

[Constavlos]

einstein was a physicist. so that would suggest any avasion to "god", would've been refering to A conscious creator of a perceptional reality. not any of man's gods, religious etc..

[FigurinItOut]

I consider myself spiritual, not religious.

I've worked on myself for about 12 years straight with a pen and a notebook. Infinite intelligence works THROUGH us, not OUTSIDE of us.

[jjenkins2224]

and i'm not honest but you're really interesting

[Rahab111222]

Einstein would only refer to 'god' as a common vernacular. He didn't believe in gods.

[RGio0587x]

"you mean Hannah-Barbara?"

[HookInMouth999]

Howards reasoning for things is so sad... "poor people like religion because its free???"""" is he serious

[Loskenne]

Howard always makes such astute observations

[Efferts]

I respect him only cuz he questions. That stimulates debate. He sounds.. um, lowbrow, but hey, it's custom.

[eltrut96]

Robin is fucking wrong. Einstein did NOT believe in God. Fuck, I hate her.

[DamonIcke]

I know what's next? Her claiming Darwin denounced evolution on his death bed. There's too many misinformed religious weirdos. No need to give them ammo.

[WesSideCali]

Einstein confused alot of people because he would refer to "god" frequently. But to him "god" was all that science has yet to explain.

[Constavlos]

wessidecali:

einstein. god = toe.

[Efferts]

Actually, to this day ppl still debate whether he was of faith or not.

[eltrut96]

And the people who are on the side of him having faith are dead wrong. Period.

[Efferts]

Oh u get no argument from me.

[dontleademsomuch]

hasidim but i dont believe em!

[PanayotiProductions]

no point being racist, black people hate niggers too no need to spread more hate.

[wolfgarnaud]

fred is the smartest guy in that room

[jekellhyde]

72 virgins...! By the very thought of it, i explode, genuinely. - lmao -

[murraybetesh]

fred is from mars!!!

[devivortex]

Sadly, I believe most of that to be true. When you die you die. Therefore live it up and know there is no hope of feeling ever again. But ....Conciousness lives on without peptides or brain chemistry. It is the brain and the human body that makes us feel. A small portion of feeling can be attributed to our soul but not much. Our soul is eternal though. So remember in death there is life and by bonding ourself in life to something we will find freedom.

[mgaft]

Interesting, esoteric and brings about an array of questions. Does soul have mass, charge, polarity or any other measurable characteristics? Were they produced at some point of time or were they forever just sort of hanging in the outer space waiting to be engaged? Are there a final number of them or a new one produced every time a new person is born. Are we the only species who deserve leasing them or were using only some local subset? What is the purpose of this process and is there one?

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

If you ever get a chance check out a book by professor David Fontana called "Is There an Afterlife". The guy has an encyclopedic knowledge of afterlife research. The title might sound boring or New Agey but the book is actually incredibly good- probably the best book I've ever read. Fascinating and does a good job of summing up research. When my grandfather died I saw him at the foot of my bed- I was in Germany and didn't know he had died. He told me everything was going to be okay.

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

As Teilhard de Chardin said, "We're not human beings having a spiritual experience, we're spiritual beings having a human experience."

[mgaft]

Having read this book, as you did, can you answer some of those questions so that your reflected knowledge would shine the way for my curiosity.

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

Unfortunately not. He might have (there are a number of pages dealing with "soul" in the index) but I don't recall him discussing your concerns regarding the nature of a soul. I would suggest getting the book from your local library, looking at the evidence, and coming to your own conclusion.

[mgaft]

Thank you. You convinced me. It's not fair of me to disagree with you if we don't have the same frame of reference. I am going to check out the book.

Cheers

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

I didn't know we were disagreeing. :) Anyway, I'm distrustful of anyone who says they have all the answers. I just think there is evidence to suggest consciousness exists beyond the death of the physical body. Anyway, it's a good book. If you ever get around to reading it let me know what you think.

[Pooternackle]

fred didn't really give an answer fucking neutral piece of shit

[mgaft]

Really. I thought he gave a very clear answer. Fred is agnostic, a person who believes that the answer on whether God exists or not is unattainable. Fred admitted the existence of some super intelligence out there. However, should it exist, it won't be a God of the Old Testament - angry guy in the sky or God of the New Testament - happy guy in the sky. In other words, Fred doesn't deny existence of God, but he denies religions perception of what God is.

Cheers

[Pooternackle]

agnostics are neutral pieces of shit, son

[mgaft]

What brought you to this conclusion, father? And, incidentally, do you equate agnosticism with shit because of its neutrality only? Does this mean that, in your view, neutrality is a shitty position altogether. In other words there shouldnt be gray areas. It should be either black or white. "A real man has to take sides." Right?

Cheers

[Pooternackle]

thats exactly what im saying, men who don't take a side are fucking spic niggers

[mgaft]

Hm. a very rare and interesting position. Let me ask you this.

Back in 18 century there was a so called war for "Spanish Succession" fought mainly by France against Austria to stop a possible unification of the Kingdoms of Spain and France and as such, upsetting the European balance of power.

Which side would you take and what would be your reasoning in doing so?

[Pooternackle]

austria, fuck the french

[mgaft]

Of course, I should have known better. Austria produced Hitler and Schwarzenegger. What did France produce? Mayonnaise.

But let's say you happened to be in a crossfire of two Colombian drug gangs. Would you also take sides or decide to keep neutrality and wait until both gangs eliminate each other?

[Pooternackle]

i'd join the most masculine of the gangs, if both were feminine shit gangs i would form my own gang and destroy them

[mgaft]

You must be either a very young and romantic guy or you're just bullshiting me for the sake of consistency. You know what would happen if you try to join such gangs. They will fuck you in the mouth and in the ass, then they will poke your eyes, cut out your ears and balls and let you bleed to death. Then you can really feel like a man. LOL

Cheers

[Whimplash]

5:48--> Actually Robin, turns out he didn't.

[bobbelheadedmidget]

That's right!!!!!
