[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 741855, member: 1550"] Copa I am sort of confused. I do not identify with Jews or being Jewish, although my parents were, but I would be furious if any of my kids thought this was not real and had no sympathy. Its bigotry. I am also confused about why you, who really love your religion, did not bring up J. as Jewish .I know of many Jewish people who adopted from abroad, all different races from all over the world, who raised their children Jewish. Korean Jews. African American Jews. Chinese Jews. Bar Mitsvahs. The whole nine yards. Why didnt you do it? I am NOT criticizing you at all, I am just puzzled. If I had chosen Judaism for myself, I would have raised all my kids with those beliefs. To me nobody speaks bigotry in my space, kids included. Now in my opinion I think M.s reaction is fine...but I really dont listen too anyone talk about extreme and bigoted conspiracy politics. I really dont know anyone who thinks that way. I would push that person away. Far. Fast. Forever. But this is your son. Yes, it is different because you love him so. This matters. I think since you didnt raise him Jewish or introduce him to Jewish people (I didnt either with any of mine) J. cant understand your angst. But you dont have to listen to his conspiracy theories if that ever comes up. You can tell him no. I dont watch the news at all so I apoligize but dont know much about this, but it sounds terrible and I am very sorry. I dont understand bigotry. I dont listen to it. I wont listen to it. It cant be part of my life. You dont have to have it either. Just say no. But dont blame him for not understanding Judiasm because he was not taught it. Do refuse to listen to his conspiracy theories or slams on Jewish people. Thats different. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
