[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Awful people here. What do you gain by judgeing? Can non-religious people not like rituals and tradition? [b]Is it reserved for those willing to pay lip service?[/b]

Have a naming ceremony and someone to come and give a nice speech. Your kid will grow to be fine person[/quote]

Because anybody who has a Jewish naming ceremony, or has a child baptized, is "just paying lip service?" No, people who do these see real meaning behind it, and they have real connections to the rabbi, priest or minister and to their worship communities.

That's the point you're missing, and that a rent-a-rev you talked to for 1/2 hour before the secular "ceremony" is never going to be able to provide. How is a total stranger going to "give a nice speech" that has any meaning and doesn't just end up looking awkward? OP has the last thing mentioned above, a connection with her family and friends, and she'd be better off sticking with that in a party where part of the celebration is a formal program led by her and her partner.[/quote]
