I don't get what's bothering you.

Doesn't bother me at all as long as they aren't on any public payout. The question itself seemed to bother several posters, though, as if they were reluctant to admit what they were favoring.

I don't see anything to be ashamed about in believing that private organizations have the right to require certain religious beliefs of their members (and thus excluse those who don't share them), whatever those beliefs might be. But then again, I believe in only One True Religion and that all others are unauthorized and "wrong," so I may be a little old-fashioned here. I also want to rebuild the Temple and reinstitute animal sacrifices. Maybe you can write that up to "multiculturalism" (pretend I'm a s*nt*rian or something).

Re "public payout," why should that matter? I mean, you don't claim it's "wrong" or something, do you? Why, is it in the Torah that religious organizations can't be on the "public payout?" There isn't another source of what constitutes "right" and "wrong," is there???

Because we can't opt out of paying our taxes, yet our kids are be forbidden the benefit of those taxes because of religious criteria.
