as a jew, I ask, why do you care about somebody else's religious life, and how does that tie into the discussion?

As a jew, it is obvious he asked because GP somehow brought the topic of being jewish up in his edit for some weird authority reason? Hence the reply I would assume.

maybe gp did, maybe gp didn't, but that still wouldn't explain the weird, non-sequitur reply about shabbat, hence the question.
