Hello. I am a 16 year old male from Georgia (United States). I have recently given my life to Christ, and am a southern baptist. I am currently a high school student, and a lot of my friends will come to me for advice about there friendships and relationships and whatnot, so I figured that I would give this a try. I will answer any question you give me, to the best of my ability that is. If I do not know how to handle it, I will tell you what I think, but I will also tell you that I am unsure, and try to suggest another person to ask. I hope that all the answers I give will be satisfactory.

Okay, so i'm Jewish but like I don't go to the temple or like anything. so my friends were talking about religion and had the Jewish religion all wrong so i cleared it up and they were like whats the Jewish bible called and i said i didn't know. and this other girl whos not Jewish goes oh..its called a Torah spellin..so anyway they go well your not a Jew your a fake Jew your no Jew JUNO get it like Jew NO. yeah, well i was just gonna shrug it off but my other friend blew up at them and told them to knock it of and i was like guys just stop but they won't. I'm not that affended but a lot of my family died in consintration camps and there making fun of me for being something that i can't help.
am i right to be a little mad over this? (link)

I will not say that you are not a Jew, but I will say that you are not a practicing Jew. What I mean by that is that you claim the religion, but do not know some of the major things (such as what the Jewish Bible is). You can be offended by this. However, I do think that you should reconsider what your religion is. I know that your family claims the Jewish religion, but I am not so sure if you really want to or not. I mean, from the sounds of it, I think your family is mostly Jews. I am not saying you are nto a Jew, but just think about it. I find that religion only creates problems, however I do mostly live by Cristianity religous rules, but not totally, so I won't claim Christianity. I guess the point is that you can be upset about it because you had family members murdered in the Holocoust, but I don't think it should be a huge personal offense
