I think intermarriage is not wise in the first place. If you can't see eye-to-eye on your faith, then God says you are unequally yoked. He didn't even want Israel to marry non-Israelites.
Anyone who marries outside their faith has little or no faith.

Anyone who marries outside their faith has little or no "faith."
This is true, but consider this: such marriages will sometimes trigger a soul-searching at some point and lead one or both of the people to faith. Seen it happen.
And conversely, a husband and wife can nominally worship the same way and still wind up in a marriage from hell. (I've REALLY seen that.)

Hopefully, there will be a remnant left to be saved. The Jewish race is doomed to extinction if they don't act to stem the tide of abortion, secularization, and other non"breeder" efforts of mainstream jewish life.

Anyone who marries outside their faith has little or no faith. Maybe they have a lot of love.

This is obvious to a Christian. But I've heard that Mormons are not frowned upon for marrying outside their faith. It's seen as an outreach. Most Jews see "Jewishness" as their nationality. They think such a saying as "Jews for Jesus" is impossible and ridiculous.
