Former Christians

[edit]

These are from the List of Former Christians, there is some overlap so I'm dumping them on this talk page so someone who has the patience can add them to the list.

Jews, whether religious or not, know where they have come from and what they would wish for their future, and this certainty is based on fact, not faith....

I am Jewish because there is no other choice for me.""
