Rabbinical Talk

There are rabbis and there are rabbis 
Some are Orthodox, Hasidic, New Age, Conservative - what have you 
Some are liberal, some more conservative 
I am writing about my Jewish heritage now 
The fact that I am a Middle Earth "nut" and a former Marvel Comics "nut" 
doesn't deter me from that 
Verse can be enjoyable whatever creed you subscribe to 
or whatever religion you were born into 
I don't eat pork chops
Am I a hypocrite or what?
