RE: A Response to @Ladyrebecca on Pope Francis's Death

I'm not sure what you are railing against.
Its theologically nonsensical to like Jesus but hate God the Father. They are ONE. This is Christian dogma.

The "megalomaniac" God of the Old Testament is the GOD of Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

The one and only GOD. Eternal, Creator of everything, All powerful, All knowing and mostly beyond human comprehension.

All Christianity does is create 3 aspects to that One God.

Apart from that there is no dispute between Christianity and Judaism as to the nature of God.

"Bearded guy in Heaven" is a Christian children's depiction, not a serious adult understanding of God.
In any case, Jews don't ever attempt to create a likeness of God. It is both impossible prohibited by the Second Commandment.

Thus both Jews and Christians believe in the same God and do not disagree on God's nature.

You either believe in God or you don't. To hate something you must believe in it.

If you don't believe in God then you are not a Christian because Faith in God is the fundamental requirement of Christianity. From faith flows good works.

Judaism works the other way. Follow the rules in the Torah, which include good works, and you will find faith in God. You can be a good Jew and not believe in God, at least in the beginning.

But the point I was making in my post is that Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular rely on a number of historic (particularly Jesus's resurrection from the dead) and every day (transubstantiation of wine and wafer into the blood and body of Christ) miracles that are simple impossible under the Laws of Nature.

Judaism does not rely on miracles that break the Laws of Nature and thus is consistent with Science.

Taking a day of rest and organising things beforehand (like timers on lights) is a privilege that gives you time for family, friends and thinking without being addicted to your phone. It is the basis of the weekend and is even more important today in our "constantly on" world.

It is perfectly possible to observe Shabbat on a journey to Mars. Normal stuff is automated and if there was an emergency you are always allowed to break Shabbat if life is at risk.

Indeed I expect that there will be many Jews, including religious ones, on Mars. High Israeli & Jewish fertility on Earth will create population pressures during the window for Mars settlement which means that there will be lots of young Jews looking for a cheaper place to live, especially one without terrorists and anti-semites.
