[QUOTE="Woo, post: 2532682, member: 299645"] I'm Christian who is unhappy about how the Church has unnecessarily deviated from original Judaism. I'm thinking to convert to Judaism and I'm trying to find out more about the different sects of Judaism. I knew that Reform and Reconstructionist are the most liberal movements, but I found a thread here that I didn't expect. This guy - fire-dances for some fire god named Fenris - he's an atheist, and doesn't believe in the literal existence of Fenris - and doesn't believe in the literal existence of God either (since he's an atheist, remember) - but attends a Reform synagogue (for fun I guess) - people from his Reform synagogue know all this about him - yet they invited him to become Jewish, knowing all this about him. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080925130239AAcb5lf Is this sort of thing normal? Is it normal for people in the Reform Judaism movement to have such liberal religious beliefs? I'm not sure what to say and would love to hear some feedback. EddieJ, Thanks for reminding me. It's not Saturday yet where I am. Do Reform Jews observe the Sabbath? EddieJ, Thanks for the "sundown on Friday" clarification. [/QUOTE]
