I'm with you. I have friends he's Jewish she's Christian and they decided to raise them Jewish till 10 then introduce Christianity. But when visiting our house one day their 7 year old daughter ran terrified and screaming when she saw a crucifix over my kids doors and they innocently told her what it was. They had to quickly reconsider their plans.
No freaking kidding!!!!!!!!!!!! I have friends who are Jewish and their reaction to a crucifix is like Superman to cryptonite. I really don't get it. However, I think I actually do.
I think that many of the Jewish "leaders" fill the young ones with such distrust and such paranoia for these things that it actually develops into a nuerosis that can not be explaned but for any other reason. And when you question one about this, you get the most bizarre and illogical answers and responses.
Its divide and conquer, no different than any other political leader.
