Post Fundamentalists and Hebrew

On another religion site where I post, a few of the 'Fundies' have begun sprinkling their posts with Hebrew words. Instead of saying Jesus, they'll use "Yeshua Hamashiach ", or instead of Holy Spirit, they'll use "Ruach HaKosesh". For some reason I find this incredibly annoying. Is this some kind of fad, or is it just these few people doing this?

I don't know, the best response might be to start sprinkling your posts with Klingon.

It's a new trend I've been seeing too. Makes the religion more "hip", and makes you sound more intelligent.

The funniest lately is Christians that say G-d, instead of spelling the word out. I would expect this from one who follows the Jewish faith, but a Christian?

Maybe you can use the words "Jumpin Jehosaphat" every time they do that.

And this from people who claim to have a personal "relationship" with god?

Especially considering that "God" is a title (or species name ), not a personal name. "Oh G-d is so great we're not even worthy to type the honorific we invented to avoid speaking his proper name, which we're also not worthy to do."

Wanna Be Jews......

I have noticed that many fundamentalists are lining up to support Israel.
Not for the Jews as they have no real love for the Jewish people, they are simply placing their bets on the fulfillment of prophecy.
Time for the Jews to all come home, and a war to end all wars.
They see the present state of the middle east as the beginning of the end, and the start of jebus
thousand year rule of gods kingdom on earth.
Same old crap.
