You take care in your post to capitalize "Christian" but fail to capitalize "jewish" or "jews" ??? Is this an intentional effort demean another religion? If so, that's pretty ugly. I really hope it was a simple oversight ... or two oversights, I guess.
Jesus! Some people are way hypersensitive.
Or nuts. I think that can serve as our ridiculous Hitler reference, spelling doom for this thread. Hooray!
You are quite the optimist -- this thread may go on Christmas/Holiday break, but it will be revived the next time an alum or teacher gets into trouble.

No. Darn, are we not done yet? How about 9:34, who didn't do this explicitly, but she's shrill and hysterical enough, not to mention probably totally off base, to satisfy this condition.

Sometimes, as a purely sociological exercise, and because I have too much time on my hands, I like to dissect threads like this one.
1. The original premise is dumb - did OP think she was going to get real answers? The next 15 pages prove her wrong.
2. Teenagers appear to support/slam Sidwell
3. Several posters say everything is bush league compared to TJ/Andover and Exeter.
4. Descent into religious warfare, with posters googling up church/synagogue attendance stats and apparently misquoting them.
We've checked all the boxes! Yay! Can we say this thread is done now?

Although I'm actually not sure why we're sniping at each other. You accused me of being an anti-Christian convert to Judaism. I told you you're completely wrong.
That's really the end of the discussion.
The last 3 posts are yours, right? It's like watching somebody's head explode.

The reason we're off topic is because you were fighting with somebody else and brought all this up in your post of 16:27.
Although you are amazingly persistent in how you distort my words and that other poster's words, it's not very effective because it's so transparent. You must be impossible to talk to IRL.
Good bye. Go back to fighting with that other person you were fighting with.

Even if you subscribe to the high-side studies that say 40% attend church services, that's less than half of the 86% who claim to be Christian. If you subscribe to the studies that say 18%, then we're saying only about 1 in 5 Christians are attending church. Is that a "tiny percent"? You say tomato; I say tomahto ....
1 in 5 are attending church regularly was the point. It must be tough to talk to you when you keep doing this sort of bait and switch.
Yeah, the other 4 in 5 are going to church only on Easter and Christmas ... and then rushing home to watch football.
You seem to forget I'm familiar with the rituals of these religions.
