Jan 25, 2021 at 14:18 comment added Isaac Moses Mod @BCLC I'm not sure I understand the question.
Jan 25, 2021 at 6:09 comment added BCLC Isaac Moses♦, why doesn't the answer just become communitywiki?
Dec 11, 2020 at 19:24 comment added BCLC @IsaacMoses God bless you (or G-d or Yahweh or however you call God. Obviously I'm not Jewish) and all involved with this and the other question, in particular with my recent issues on Christianity SE.

Dec 11, 2020 at 17:01 comment added Isaac Moses Mod @BCLC The existing answer did not address the on-topic version of the question.
Dec 11, 2020 at 16:56 comment added BCLC @IsaacMoses Thanks for re-open. Why is the answer deleted?
Dec 11, 2020 at 14:33 comment added BCLC @DoubleAA oh, a nitpick. ok. i meant how are questions about jewish people as they relate to judaism not related to judaism? i believe i asked about jewish people as they related to judaism, and of course that's kind of what we're discussing.
Dec 11, 2020 at 14:32 comment added Double AA Mod @BCLC You asked in a comment "how are jewish people not related to judaism?" I tried to explain why the rules are worded the way they are
Dec 11, 2020 at 14:29 comment added BCLC ' It could be on-topic to ask whether a stereotype about Jews is somehow based on Judaism. That would be a question about Judaism' --> ok i will edit the post. thanks
Dec 11, 2020 at 14:29 comment added BCLC @DoubleAA LOL example i'm not asking question about a person who happens to be jewish. is it not jewish culture? i think a better analogy is this thing from TBBT 'Isn't hypochondria a common idiosyncrasy of Jewish people?'
Dec 11, 2020 at 14:24 comment added Isaac Moses Mod @BCLC 1) It could be on-topic to ask whether a stereotype about Jews is somehow based on Judaism. That would be a question about Judaism. 2) There are a lot of subjects related to Judaism (Jewish culture, Israeli politics, Hebrew language, other religions), but the standard for being on-topic is for the question to be about Judaism, not just related to it.
Dec 11, 2020 at 14:23 comment added Double AA Mod @BCLC Consider the following question about a Jewish person scifi.stackexchange.com/q/12146 As noted in this answer "in some cases, there may be reason to believe that a particular [thing] is [about Judiasm]". If there is such reason and it isn't obvious to eveyone, just state it explicitly. Same goes for that question on scifi.se and any question anywhere that wants to be asked here.
Dec 11, 2020 at 14:20 comment added BCLC Isaac Moses, wait so 1 - the on-topicness of question depends on its answer? i mean for all i know there's something in the torah that advises certain questions to be answered with other questions. i mean, if that was the case, then the question would be on-topic right? or still not? i mean it's like asking a yes/no question and it's on-topic if the answer is yes but off-topic if the answer is no 2 - how are jewish people not related to judaism?
