- Gloria Feldt is accurately summarizing, as I understand it, the Talmudic
- point of view regarding personhood. I see no evidence that, unlike you,
- Ms. Feldt is attempting to impose her point of view on anyone else. Do
- you have a specific problem with this, Mr. Holtsinger? Do you object to
- the beliefs or practices of the Jewish religion? What point are you
- attempting to make with this?
-
- Oh, and for the record, I see nothing extreme or reprehensible about this
- statement, either.
