i was thinking about why im agnostic. and i realized, its because i was raised in a christian community, not a jewish one. i never developed jewish ties.
so i was wondering, how do you feel about a child growing up in a community whose major religion is not their own? do you think its bad? do you think that children should grow up in their religious community only? what about public schools? and i searched. i really did. |

In the end, people will ultimately make their own decisions and think through things themselves, no matter where they grow up or in what environment. I know lots of people who were raised strongly Christian and turned out pretty strongly Atheist. It depends on the will of the person to stick to what they believe.
And, Judaism is pretty similar to Christianity in a lot of the teachings, besides the whole Jesus being the Savior thing, so it probably wouldn't have been that different for you. |

Actually, though the teachings are similar, the two cultures are completely different. It is much different growing up in a Jewish society than a Christian one. However, I do agree with Sammi about the will of a person deciding what they want to be. I grew up in a Christian community, and still live in it. However, I am completely Jewish. It matters what you believe is right. And MF Doom, you're right as well. Many kids are brainwashed into it. However, if they aren't able to question what they think they know at any point of their lives, they're just stupid. They're the ones who drink cyanide laced Kool Aid. |
