[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 741862, member: 1550"] I agree with you, Elsi. It is not the norm that some odd thinking people dont believe 911 happened or that the Jews own the media etc. I agree that there is a small minority who are very bigoted and sprout these conspiracies to coat their bigotry. I dont personally feel that these beliefs are anything except crazed nonsense and I won't listen to anyone talk this way. I dont think every belief is equally, for lack of a better word, good as in kind. Valid either. Copa I understand about Orthodox Jews although I rejected that at a very early age. I was told only to date Jewish boys so that I wasnt tempted to marry a "gentile" and further erode the number of Jews that existed. I didnt listen and did not then and do not now feel that Jewish is a race, just a religion. And I really dont like how Orthodox Judiasm tries to seperate Jewish people from the rest of the world. If I still identified with any formal religion, and if it was Judaism, I would have to be Reform. I knew about Reform way in high school but really just did not want to continue practicing Judaism. I was very aware of the Jewish options. My neighborhood was 95 percent Jewish. To me it was normal not to have a Christmas tree. Nobody did. I am sorry that you didnt know about the difference in types of Judiasm so that you could teach your son. Orthodox and Traditional are similar. Reform is very different. As a child I remember going only to one Orthdox temple and one Traditional temple that my Grandma belonged to. I wish you had had more information. You would have enjoyed Reform. J. probably would have too. It is inclusive. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
