Having said that, I couldn't care less what Deutsch went after her about. Ann can take care of herself.
However, she has a tendency to try and shock the interviewer. This time she said something dumb, not awkward.
To describe her statement as a gesture of friendship and as her attempt to do nothing more than share her good fortune at finding a great deal, trivializes proselytizing and trivializes both of our religions.
But I see where your argument is heading. Unfortunately, we (Jews) are more than a little sensitive to statements such as this, and I would argue, justifiably so, considering our history. And Ann, as usual, tried to be provocative and stepped into a pile.
As a Jew, I simply ask that folks respect my religion just as I respect theirs. Making the statement that Jews need to be perfected shows a dramatic lack of respect for a religion and I don't, for a moment, buy the argument that this is what she is required to do as a Christian.
But I do appreciate your explanation and the civil tone of our discussion.
Take care...
I also appreciate the civility. It seems a rare commodity on some threads.
Take care...
And you, as well, FRiend.
