    I had a recurring nightmare as a kid for years that I was in Hell and had to climb the hill at Golgotha and pray for mercy every day for eternity. I can still picture it clear as day some 30 years later.

    Religion is staying the fuck away from my kids.

      My proudest achievement was asking my daughter if she wanted to participate in a religion and seeing the look on her face.

      One good thing Judaism trained me for is to be aware of fascism.

      Kristelnacht memorials traumatized me enough that I made up my mind a loooong time ago:
