I married out of the Jewish religion when I was too young and did not think it mattered. My family acted as if I had committed murder.

n a way I did. I murdered the possibility of my children and grandchildren from continuing the long line of Judaism my family has gone through. Both my Parents even made it through the Holocaust and had me to continue the Jewish line.

The "Anything Goes" Attitude that has taken over the religion could be the death of our ancient religion. I have divorced because when it came down to the bottom line, I did not want to have Christian children running around asking for a Christmas tree and presents and the fact that I would have destroyed a line of a Jewish family. It would be comparable to an Inquisition or Holocaust. Judism would end in my family.

This is too important and I put off having children until our differences caused us to divorce each other. I feel relieved that I did not bring any non-Jews into the world. There is room for both religions but when it comes to marriage I believe one should stick to their own religion.
