Theirs is the only form of Judaism that's really religious because the others don't believe in God or the Torah's divinity. In addition, while the label may sound like the others' labels they are th original and the others are branch-offs. ======================================
Another contributor said "not so fast", and went deeper:
The question is something like asking "Why do Catholics beat their children ?"
The listener jumps directly to an attempt to assemble an answer, without stopping
to examine the validity of the assumption in the question. These questions are made
to order for those who have an axe to grind, and are just waiting for a chance to
start grinding it. It's no accident that the first answer was posted by a "contributor"
who didn't feel like identifying himself.
Without going into a complete examination of the question ... which would probably
turn off even those who have stuck with me so far ... I'll simply say that I'm closely
acquainted with at least 50 Orthodox Jews who completely "accept" other Jews,
whatever that means. (Maybe closer to 100, but I like to be conservative when I
discuss my connection to Orthodoxy.)
So the 'hypothesis' (assumption) implicit in the question is shown to be false.
