[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure why all these pps are ok with Jewish kids going to Christian camp.  I am Orthodox Christian, and there is no way my kids are going to Catholic school or camp, even if it is free or "just for a break for grandma."  If it is really that Grandma needs a little daily break, OP should have paid for some camp for kids that they both agree on.[/quote]

Well, you might take religion more seriously than some of us.

And, you know, if you are mixing religions in a marriage you can't be that religious. Unless the other spouse converted which I don't think is the case.
We had friends who said they celebrated 'birthmas' or 'chrismukkak' or 'Festivus' or whatever. Totally made up holidays they mostly just celebrated being with family on holidays - they weren't really into the specific religious ceremonies as one parent was Catholic and one Jewish.[/quote]

Same pp as above.  I didn't mix different Christian branches in "marriage." Married another Orthodox Christian, it just happened that way, it is a love match. It depends on occasion how religious I am, some days not at all and some days more so.  I view religion more as a tradition that is used to maintain customs and build family strength. But I do have atheist BIL and SIL who are now going to church every Sunday to give their kids options.  I must admit, I don't quite understand their reasoning, but to each their own.  [/quote]

What the heck is an "Orthodox Christian"?  The first Christians were Catholics. The first Protestants were Lutherans. There are Greek Orthodox. To say one Christian denomination is more "Orthodox" is ridiculous. [/quote]

I find it interesting that you would broadcast your lack of education so easily. First Christians were what?  Catholics?  Really?  I don't think so.  There are Greek Orthodox only?  Wow.  You shouldn't write about things you know nothing about, I am embarrassed for you.[/quote]
