Ruthie personally I have found what you have explained very interesting (though

I don't agree with a lot of it LOL) But I think that the thing to do when you

are feeling that you don't know the answer is simply to say that you do not know

if the person is very interested you could find out (as a rule the person will

then either say no thank you or be that interested that s/he will find out them

selves ;o)..) Like in my religion (Lutheran Protestant but I am what would be

the Church of Denmark - not called that though LOL) You are not " allowed " to

clap in a church (as in applauding someone) I have NO idea why but that is just

a " rule " that I have grown up with. I have however noticed that in the latter

years this seems to have become not allowed when a service is in progress I

think because the churches now often are used to concerts etc but was not

earlier..

I must say however that reading what you have been writing have made me feel

more understanding towards the Jewish faith I will say that there was a lot of

things that I did not know simply because I have found that most Jewish people I

have met (and that is a lot as I used to work in a bridge club in N London) have

not been very forth coming with information...

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.

I think it is I who gets defensive when my beliefs are challenged I

think. For example, shellfish isn't kosher, but do I really have to

justify why? I don't *know* why, I was casting around for a possible

reason. (I know, I mentioned shellfish in the first place, but I just

feel it's rude not to respond to people when they ask me if the laws

have any reasons behind them.)

But you are right, I shouldn't open my big mouth unless I am prepared

to be challenged about it.
