Talk:National Religions

Need to write this page. It should show:

• 'Seventy Nations' as both legal jurisdiction AND national character.
• The balance in halacha between choice and heredity.

• The two Noahide theories in halacha:

1. Jews are heredity (except for rate converts), Noahide have free choice
2. Both Jews and Noahides are heredity

• Debunk theories of race, per halacha.

1. National character (heredity) is small portion of personality psychology
2. Concious choice can overcome national character
3. Judaism recognizes switching nations (converts)

• Biblical support for 'nations'
• Western vs. Eastern notions of a nation.
• Colonialism
• Nation within a nation
• Subcultures
• 'Foreign citizens'
