Would your parents not prefer that you married another catholic? Or at least another christian? What would their reaction be if you wanted to marry an antheist or a muslim or a jew?

You might respond "my parents want me to marry whomever I want" - well that is what many Jewish parents would say too! Just many would prefer that their children married other Jews.

Some parents might care more than others - most of the Jewish parents that I know would want their kids to marry whomever they fall in love with, regardless of their religion. Others may make a bigger stink out of it.

Why is this so important to many Jews?

Catholicism is just a religion - and there is no shortage of Catholics. Judaism is a religion, a cultural identity, an ethnicity.

There are not many Jews in the world! Jews are 0.2% of the world population. About 13 million worldwide - little over 5 million in USA, little over 5 million in Israel, and the rest scattered around the world, mostly in Anglo countries.

What happens when Jews intermarry? Less Jews.

No no no. The REAL reason that Judaism is such a small and diminishing religion "tmilder" is because of its exclusionary nature, and it's heir of superiority. If jew were more open about their religion there'd be more of you. Jew's choose for it to be the way that it is. If you don't like it change it.

Phrozenaphi06, that was a really prejudice remark, to group an entire religion of people of having the same traits is ridiculous. What is so closed about the religion, the values are the same as Christianity, they even have the Old Testament. People convert to Judiasm, so how is it exclusionary?

BTW it's "air" not heir.

heh, you are complaining about people being hateful by being hateful yourself.

I wouldn't want my kids to marry someone who isn't Catholic.

reply

How come you wouldn't want your kids to marry someone that isn't catholic??? That's very closeminded. I hope for your kids' sake that they grow up to become atheists or agnostics. I was raised catholic, but as I got older I renounced my family's religion and declared myself an agnostic, and now I'm probably becoming an atheist. My family has no problem with my being non-religious and they don't care who I date or end up marrying. I'm white and I don't even date white girls, and my family is very accepting of that s well. And back t religion, you should forget about your religion and all the falsehoods that's been instilled in you by the church, because it's nothing more than blind faith on things that are speculative, at best. People should not let religion define their identity or dictate their lives, that's being trapped in a spiritual prison of the mind.

Yeah, it's funny how Esther pretends to be this nice, tolerant woman. But now that her son is getting close to a black woman, she turns into an angry beast. It's sad. Rob and Camilla seem so happy together. Hopefully he ends up moving far away from mommy because it's the only way he'll have a happy marriage.

Orthodox Jews believe that only those born to a Jewish mother are Jewish. In other words, you can't convert and become Jewish. If a Jewish man married a non-Jewish girl, their children would not be considered Jewish. That is why it is so important to many Jews that their sons marry Jewish women.

Why on EARTH are you making matter-of-fact statements as if what you say is a fact?

Sorry to use caps lock, but it annoys me when people spread misinformation as if it were fact. After all, you ]absolutely can convert to Judaism, and people do all the time. The thing is, however, that it is really difficult, certainly not like converting to Christianity or Islam, and if you convert you will all of a sudden have people prejudiced against you, and who wants that?

Please don't make any other comments as if they are fact if you don't know what you are talking about. What you should have said is "I think...", because what you said is 100% wrong... Except for the fact that anyone born to a Jewish mother is Jewish - that is true, but it makes no difference whether that Jewish mother was born Jewish or converted to Judaism before having the child (though there is a problem with Orthodox Rabbis not accepting people who converted with non-Orthodox rabbis, but that's another matter entirely).

Cheers :)
