Religious Tradition
(AOL)



09:54:01PM (ET) Sunday,January 20,2013.

A Christian boy celebrating a bar mitzvah and using Jewish ritual items on TV was enough to irritate many Jewish viewers. Why can't religious traditions be borrowed?

---------------------------------
* Is it a attack on a religion ?
Was harm done by a innocent child ?
Comments ? *

Maybe he wants to be a pseudo Jew?

Considering religious traditions are just made up stuff, why not? The error would be to think that certain traditions point to truth and are ordained by the Creator as the path to truth. It's human emotions and possessiveness, and to think that "some one of another belief system would steal my props, but not believe the way I do". The nerve!

A young child pretend to be a priest and distributes communion.
He uses crackers as the host.
Is there a reason to be alarm ?

Some of you might not care,giving what has happened over the years with the Catholic church.
What about someone pretending to be Muslim,performing the same thing this story is about ?
Is there a difference in religion dictating how severe the so called "crime" ?
Any collateral damage possibly ?

I'm not alarmed. Crime? Collateral Damage?

Lets take a gander of past religious movies outside the Ten Commandments,The Robe etc.

- The Exorcist(possible religious depending on individual).
One of the first to mock Catholic priests(like they should be huh)
Believe the religious were insulted.
-Omen
Damien owned

There are others but if I was Catholic I would be concerned others may judge me as sexual pervert.
It's silly but you never know what/how individuals think = collateral damage

 

[Greatest I am]

Jews do not seem to get upset when non-Jews get circumsised so they seem selective in what upsets them.

Customs and fashion come and go and it seems silly to worry about them.

Anyway, is imitation not supposed to be a high form of flattery.

Depends on how it's done.
One can mimmick a religious tradition completely wrong.
Yet a adult may think its cute instead of correcting.

True.

When I used imitate I meant a close imitation.

There are some traditions that should return.
Like Christian marriage.

Quoting a spinoff of Landover Baptist Church, I see.........

That's not the original Betty.....she was funnier.

Some lite reading for those that can't tell spoofs from reality.

Interesting...
With all the turmoil such as child molestation in the "Christian" church I'm surprise there hasn't been a steep drop in Christian marriages.
Not to change the subject either but one may see getting married in a church setting is mocking.
In other words does same sex partners(for example) getting married can mock the Christian church as practice ?
In the Christian community one may see this as a mockery...a insult to the Church,perhaps a attack.

Comments ?

Do we even know what a traditional Christian marriage is?

With traditional marriage also comes traditional divorce and the Christian traditional divorce policy, let no man put asunder, is draconian and anti-love as it forces people who do not love each other to stay together. Even a wife who is beat twice a week must stay married to the prick.

As usual I'm easily confused.
Correct me if I misunderstood reading the link.
Seems the two saints have been together since the time of Christ and what has been said he knew something of it.
So what was posted in the link should be categorized as tradition since it was ages ago.
On the other hand is it a insult or mockery to "main stream" marriage ?
Some say yes.
Some say no.
Years ago 99.999 percent would of said yes.
Today ?
What do I truly think ?
It's none of my business.

I do not believe in the historical Jesus so we only know what he purportedly knew by what the scribes put in his mouth.

That would be, it seems, whatever Rome wanted us to believe about Jesus.

I give some veracity to what this author is saying.
