Oh, please. I was speaking of a specific incident. Besides being the Sabbath, it was the beginning of Yom Kippur. He called for, on national television, at a memorial service for dead children, for Jews to attone and be *saved.* I've got a little apprehension at top dogs pretending to be concerned with other souls while disregarding their own. And I do say no. But for you to lump me with People for the American Way is a cheap shot and you know it. I would have expected better from you.

It was a cheap shot :-)

But it does get wearisome when people push the idea that Christian proselytizing is ipso facto a bad thing. One can flip this around and make the case that Jews are exclusionary. Rather than rail against either position, I think both are valid. That Jews have been able to keep their traditions intact for thousands of years is wonderful. So is the devotion and sacrifices Christians have made to spread their faith.

Besides, the threat to Jewish identity today is not Christianity, it is secularism.
