Why we should never talk religion OR politics....
Seems my husband and his sister are now in a major argument over who is right in their desired "religion". And just this morning, for whatever reason.. I got dragged into the middle of their disagreement by his sister. I think she may be hoping I would take sides. I DID, but not the side she was hoping for I am sure.. LOL.You see... my husband is studying the jewish faith. It is one he feels most comfortable with, and agrees with most. And that is fine with me. I support him 100% in his desire to find his " niche ". I was raised Lutheran, and will remain Lutheran. We celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas in our home to expose our son to other religions and his religious background ( my husbands mother was jewish ).
The problem lies with his sister, who has NEVER claimed her jewish heritage as SHE has embraced the MORMON religion. And now my husband seems to have become the devil reincarnated... LOL. She also claims their mother was NEVER jewish and NO ONE in their family tree was jewish either. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.. denial is such a wonderful tool.
I jumped into this family disagreement with both feet and told her point blank that she has no right to tell him he is wrong for following his heart. And if the jewish faith is what he feels is best for him.. then what is wrong with that ? WHO is he hurting ? And WHY does it matter to her ? What SHOULD matter more than anything is that HE is her BROTHER and FAMILY is more important than what path , religous, or otherwise, you take in life... isn't THAT what unconditional LOVE is all about ????????
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..... makes me wonder....
stay tuned......
