You tell me. Tell me what you really believe about the Jews. Share your deepest feelings. Get it all out.

Uh....I hate to break this to you,since you're obviously looking for an excuse to call me an anti-Semite, but I'm in a mixed marriage.... my wife is Jewish. My kids are Jewish. Bar Mitzvahs and the whole deal.

We celebrate Christmas and Hannukkah in December, Easter and Passover in the Spring and Rosh Hashannah in the fall.

We both are looking forward to seeing this film because we think it will be a great piece of cinema.

Neither of us approve of bashing a religion as "antiquated" or "fringe" just because we disagree with it.

I'm simply noting that calling a small, or unpopular, religion "fringe" or "antiquated" in a major news outlet potentially opens the door to casting other such religions in a negative light.

No really that's okay. Just tell the truth and I'm fine with it.

Have you considered adding the Id alAdha, Id alFitr, or Ramadan to your observances ?

As an added bonus you get to view the previews in the media.

Really ? That is very progressive of you. I'll take you at your word.

I can see you would not want to cast another religion in a negative light.
