Me too. I'm devoid of any spirituality and was born as such but if there's any religion I should've been born into it should've been Judaism as it's the only one I feel some affinity for.

Like, grown up me is an atheist so I don't think of myself as episcopalian, even though I was raised in that faith and that is the faith of my parents, etc. . . the same sort of thing does or does not apply to Judaism? Anyone?

What makes a good babka? and other questions about traditional Jewish desserts
is one still popularly identified as Jewish even if one is completely secular
short answer: yes, and in fact this was the reason behind my response to Ian's comment

No. And orthodox Judaism makes even less sense. Case in point, *they* accosted my girlfriend and gave her a box of "Shmurah Matzah", on which was printed this explanation:
"For the Seder one should try to have Shmuroh Matzo's [sic]. If it is difficult to obtain all three Shmuroh Matzo's, an effort should be made that at least the first 'kazayis' eaten should be Shmuroh. To fulfill the mitzvah of eating ('kazayis') Matzoh, one should try to eat an entire piece of Matzoh equivalent in size to 4x5 inches in no more than 4 minutes. If more than 6 minutes pass from the beginning till the finish, the mitzvah of eating 'kazayis' Matzoh has not been fulfilled..."
???

potato kugel = awesomenoodle kugel = grosscharoset = fine, but i'd never eat it if i didn't have tohorseradish = blecchhard-boiled egg in salt water = i love hard-boiled eggs! the salt makes 'em that much tastier.manischewitz wine = my guilty pleasure. i always feel embarrassed telling wine geeks that i like the stuff. it's like the jewish night train.matzoh = fine. egg matzoh is very good. chocolate-covered matzoh is manna from heaven. nothing especially dud about matzoh; it's the same thing as those posh swedish flatbread crackers.latkes = OH BABY. with apple sauce please, and hold the sour cream.

Dinner itself was great but I quickly got a sense of how informal it would be in relative terms in that not only was every line of the reading interrupted by a snarky comment from everyone else in the family other than the dad, who seemed somehow world-weary and pleased at the same time (I can still hear his half-sighed "Baruch Adonai"), but Steve's younger brother attended wearing a Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt. In itself perhaps merely quizzical to some eyes, but the fact that it portrayed a naked illustration of Madonna raised my eyebrows a touch.

sweet noodle kugel is fucking awesome. i dont know what you all are on. it's creamy and eggy and sweet, and sometimes has cherries in it.
my potato kugel turned out KICK ASS, btw, and it's great with sour cream. I turned the heat down to about 300 for the last hour, as it looked like the top was getting a bit too brown (wasnt). whatever it was, it's soft and potatoey and tasty.

I personally prefer the sweet kugel, which is the equivalent of growing up in the Bronx, spitting in Biggie's face and tattooing "THUG LIFE" on my chest.
I fucked up already -- at the Rhythm and Sound show yesterday, the bathroom attendant had a jar of candies and I took a Werther's Original on my way out. About ten minutes later, I realized what I'd done. Jeeeeez.
