<<I am not Godless as you think>>

I don't go around judging people by whether they believe in G-d or not. In fact, I couldn't care less if a person is religious or not. I judge people by what they do, their acts. My first wife was a very good person, wife and mother and didn't believe in G-d. My second wife is religious. What bothers me is when some Christians tell me I'm going to hell because I don't believe in Jesus. That's religious bigotry where Christianity is considered the only true religion and other religions are not respected.

I have respect for all religions. I think people get judged by the religion they subscribe to. Jews don't get judged by Christian standards and vice versa. And FYI, reformed and conservative Judaism is extremely humanistic and judges people by the life they lead and how kind or cruel they are to other human beings. There is no requirement to go to synagogue or even pray to G-d to be considered a good human being and Jew.
