I had a good friend in grad school. We spent a lot of time together...sort of dated, sort of not. One of the things that kept it from becoming anything more, for BOTH of us, was religion. He was Southern Baptist. He could not understand how I could "stand it," knowing I "will be going to hell, as in, not saved, not knowing the love of Christ."
& you know, I've been told, by an AW mama, that she could tell a Jew by sight. This ranks as one of those things I never forget, kwim? Partly, too, it falls into this category. People are different spiritually, so they're visibly different, too, to her. It isn't a Semitic look, b/c that includes non-Jews. It falls under that same category of superiority & ignorance, to me. It's all hurtful and sometimes when I read these kinds of comments, it's hard to remember that it's nearly 2002!
Shalom,
