Madonna says she believes in Jesus even though she’s a member of the Kabbalah Center (which studies Jewish mysticism), celebrates Jewish holidays, and has even taken on the name Esther for Judaism.
Saying that her adopted son, David, can be Christian and follow Kabbalah as well, Madonna told the BBC, “I believe in Jesus and I study Kabbalah, so I don’t see why he can’t too.”
But Kabbalah watcher Rick Ross says that the group’s leaders are wrong if they tell people that they can have it both ways. “It’s historically and practically impossible for a person to be two religions simultaneously,” Rick Ross of Cultnews.com tells The Scoop. “But perhaps Madonna thinks that along with her many other accomplishments, this is possible.”
Let’s not get into a religious debate here. Let’s just agree that Madonna is completely wrong in everything she ever says or does. She could save a bus filled with disabled children and because Madonna did it they’d all turn out to be horrible serial murderers.

If she can believe she’s British, she
can certainly simultaneously believe the
Messiah has come and hasn’t come.
Phoenix | November 6, 2006 at 8:09 am
But isn’t Kabbalah a branch of Judaism? Isn’t that why she visited Israel? You can’t be a Jew and Christian at the same time.Can you?
mrs.t | November 6, 2006 at 8:13 am
After his statement on religion, Kabbalah watcher Rick Ross issued another statement declaring himself Master of the Obvious.

Hi all,
superficial posting virgin…..its 3am here, but couldn’t help myself..madonna is really irritating….
RichPort | November 6, 2006 at 8:28 am
I married a white woman and still mug white women in dark alleys. See, being a parodox is possible, and fun! Wait, did I say mug..? I of course meant date, yea that’s it, date. And by dark alleys I mean 5 star hotels… yea, that’s it.
Madonna tried telling Papa not to preach, all while driving her limo around LES in Manhattan picking up teenage boys… a paradox indeed.
Madrid Marriott | November 6, 2006 at 8:28 am
You’re telling me Jews for Jesus aren’t legit???
gosh | November 6, 2006 at 8:30 am
what i’m worried about is the fact that she may, at any moment, start thinking that the cute little doe-eyed toddler she’s holding is in fact a big ball of kabbalah red yarn. Then she’ll try and make a red strings out of him……psycho bitch.
that’s all im sayin…goin to bed (with the hope that i dont wake up in a wet puddle after horrid madonna nightmares)

I don’t think that when trying to “be like Christ” that he meant hanging on a cross in the middle of your own rock concert.

It’s bad enough he has to grow up black, now she wants him to be a Jew too. I see rough times in this kid’s future…….

KristinMichelle | November 6, 2006 at 8:48 am
I think I have read that Madonna’s interpretation of Kabbalah is a complete molestation of the practice because it was traditionally only followed by Jewish clerics who were men. If she wants to add Jesus in there too, I doubt anyone is going to tell her no. She is a waste of Botox.

@11 – PapaHotNuts, you sir, are a hermaphrodite.

For the what she charges for tickets, they should choose at least one person from the front row to actually nail her to the cross, you know like a raffle. That’ll be worth the price of admission.

HolisticWisdomcom | November 6, 2006 at 9:11 am
Saying you believe in Jesus and that you believe he is your savoir are two different things. Jews believe in Jesus, they don’t believe he is the son of God.
If you are a more spiritual person, as Madonna appears to be, then taking parts of religion isn’t that hard to swallow.
What is hard to swallow are the black and white thinking people who think it has to be their way or no way.
It is also hard to swallow crackers when you have a dry mouth. I am not sure which is harder, but they both are hard to take.

Wasn’t Sammy Davis, Jr. a black Jew? Kind of a moot point; if you’re as smooth as Sammy, you could be any number of dichotomous creatures. You could even be smart and Republican.

Ok here’s the truth… You CAN be a Jew and believe in Jesus at the same time. Meaning you can believe that he DID exist one day, NOT that you believe he is the messiah and died for the sin of the world and all that jazz. Jews believe that Jesus was a man, a good teacher and prophet but they do not believe that he was the Messiah (the one sent to save us all)… They think that guy is still coming.

Madonna wouldn’t be Madonna if she didn’t act weird. And remember the Kabbalah she practices is the “fluffy, new-age cult Kabbalah” and not the strict Jewish mystical tradition.
beifiori | November 6, 2006 at 2:16 pm
yeah, well, even Satan BELIEVES in Jesus, big whoop…just saying…
Aristotrash | November 6, 2006 at 2:37 pm
To be fair to Madonna, the so-called religious authority on religion that this article quotes is from “Cultnews.com” . . . I’m not so sure he’s got the ultimate say in major theological debates here . . .
oshkoshb-goshdammgosh | November 6, 2006 at 3:01 pm
I heard that Madonna uses pages of the Torah as maxi pads. Torah! Torah! Torah!

I don’t think madonna should bleed on other peoples holy books…or masterbate with their crosses either.

why cant you believe in two things at once
that others think cant coexist

ffordegroupie | November 6, 2006 at 10:02 pm
I can’t think of any real religion — emphasis on REAL — where you can believe two diametrically different things. Mad Madge may claim that it’s all about love and peace, but it isn’t.
And considering that Judaism is sort of the pre-Christianity, or Christianity is post-Judaism, that makes it even more ridiculous. Like saying that an insect can be both butterfly and caterpillar.
She’s just saying this because she lied to that African man, telling him that she was a “nice Christian lady.”
As for the whole bus of children thing… come on, she’d only rescue them if she could benefit from it. And she’d be snarling “Move it, ya little brats! I have a press conference to call!”
