Overheard at a shul kiddush

Person – I’m a deist, we don’t believe in the Christian concept of love.
Me- What do you mean you are a deist? [I was not sure he knew what the word meant.]
Person- We have a realistic view of God – one that get angry, takes revenge and is not nice. God needs to be appeased.
Me- Do you appease God?
Person- Yes, I do my duties and obligations every day.
Me- When you fail do you get punished?
Person- I do my duties.

A logical enough response to a deity who requires worship and ritual but, unlike the evangelical god, never talks back.

The number of closet molech worshipers is clearly increasing.

Was this a shul kiddush in the last two weeks?

  It was actually a seudah after a brit on Sunday. It was not a regular at that synagogue.
