Well actually two people, both Jewish former girlfriends, did say I had to agree regardless of my feelings on the subject or the beliefs of my own heritage.

Then, as now, I found such such a "law" extremely arrogant and racist.

Thing is my sons grandmother does not believe in God nor Jesus or any other faith she reckons its all "humbug" in her words. When your dead your dead. The End. But she maintains what AL said. My son is Jewish. She confuses the hell out of me at times, but a good old soul. She tells me when she goes back home to visit its her family in Jeureslum she goes to see, the religious side of it means nothing to her.

Some of her relations was gassed during the nazi era, she was very religious when young but lost the faith somewhere along the way.

No, but this thread is wandering, and has gone off topic. Even a shallow examination of the sociology of this forum demonstrates that the chances of offending and inappropriate behavior increase dramatically once topics wander, as we have seen here. Accordingly, it is my duty to place the thread back on topic, thus preventing further exchange of insults and hurt feelings, and avoiding the ever-unsightly locked thread.

Proceed, but play nice.

I was just kidding. I fully understand your point and reasoning, sir.

Carry on, sailor.
