[quote=Anonymous][quote=AnonymousNo one's religion should be treated as a joke, and I'm not particularly religious.[/quote]

Wait, what? I'm Jewish and I make jokes about Judaism and Jewishness.  That is in fact a cultural thing.  Unassimilated Jews, including atheists, make jokes about most anything - certainly not excluding religion (and not excluding atheism either - hear the one about the atheist and agnostic who couldnt get married ? - they couldnt agree on what not to believe)

I dont thiink the problem above is about religion - its about a profound cultural misunderstanding.    I wonder if the "culturally Jewish" but Christian folks here are really in sync with what I would recognize as jewish cultural traits (I confess to being Ashkenazi and focusing on Yiddish culture, but in my experience Sephardim are not that different) .  Or are they christians interested in OT roots, or people in interfaith relationships with a fairly assimilated (by which I do not mean secular) Jew? [/quote]
