This isn’t Hunger Games, believe or be banished. People should be allowed to keep their own identities without pressure. You keep insisting there’s no pressure—I and apparently others here think that’s laughable. [/quote]

People should be allowed to marry whom they wish, and to set any conditions they prefer.  If I were dating a gentile, and we were considering marriage, I would have the right to condition that on conversion. I would presume she would then make whatever decision she feels is right for her. I do not have an obligation to marry a gentile who has not converted to Judaism.  You are saying I would not have that right.  [/quote]

Sure, you have the right to put pressure on someone (because we need to call it what it is), but that doesn’t make your behavior a good thing.

Tell us that you wouldn’t be outraged if your kid’s fiancé demanded that your kid convert to Christianity or Islam. In those circumstances, you wouldn’t respect your kid’s decision to leave Judaism. Instead all you’d see is pressure.

I would suggest that my kid decide to not marry that person.  Since my (grown) kid is a committed, active Jew, I suspect she would follow that advice.  If she did not I would have a problem with her. NOT with a Christian or Muslim who refused to marry outside their faith.

Its not my job to tell Muslims or Christians what to believe, or what their requirements for marriage should be.     [/quote]
