[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you attend the wedding of a Catholic coworker?  If so, how is this any different?[/quote]

Not OP, but that is easy.  There is nothing in halacha preventing a gentile from marrying another gentile (halacha, apart from the 7 commandments given to Noah, does not apply to gentiles)   She MIGHT have an issue entering a church.   [/quote]

As someone very wisely said: where there is lot of legalism, there is little faith.[/quote]

Then you don't know many Orthodox Jews.  I have found incredible amounts of passionate faith among them. Though it may be expressed in ways people raised with a Christian approach to faith (and yes, many Jews have a Christian approach to what faith is) cannot see.  In fact I think Muslims "get" traditional Judaism much more (and I wish we all could explore that connection more, leaving politics aside) [/quote]

Well, I am absolutely sure that G-d does not want me to express my passionate faith by thinking myself better and more worthy of others. [/quote]

You seem to think yourself better than the OP. Certainly many people  commenting here do.  Why don't you correct them? [/quote]

I think that the majority consensus on this thread is that people are disgusted at OP's feelings and behavior towards her own sister. So, they are not feeling superior. They just cannot fathom that one could do this to her own sister.[/quote]
