Jews think they are the 'chosen' people. And guess what? Catholics, Muslims, Hindu's, Scientologists, Jehova's Witnesses & all the other stupid religions think they are also the chosen. That's the problem with religion, it's all b******t. Just be a good person. Don't be a prick.

Somehow I found it disturbing. It´s like telling/forcing your kids to marry someone of the same religion, race, country, social class....I didn´t find it funny at all.

I was a not bored panda until I read this. :(

Muslims hate jews?? i didnt know i hated jews... thats a news for me though.

Yeah as a Jew some of us are really racist, which goes against everything my boring-a*s religious school actually taught me. One of the great rabbis literally said that all Judaism really is is treating others the way you want to be treated and that the rest is commentary. Auntie, get over yourself. Yeah you love him but there's really no excuse for wanting to force religion on to a grown person who can make his/her own decisions

Oy vey.

Ugh... I would just cut people like that out of my life, even if they're family. Don't force religion on others and respect their life choices.

I have relatives who say they will not set foot in Germany because "we had relatives die in the Holocaust". Okay? That was eighty years ago, way to hold a grudge. My mom's friend actually unfriended me on facebook for cheering for Germany to win the World Cup a few years ago. I also can't stand this "we're better than you because reasons" attitude. "God's chosen people". And the hatred for Muslims. I haven't been to temple services in twelve years and I don't plan to start again any time soon. I go to Seder and light the Hanukkah candles and acknowledge the CHAHCHSCHCH holiday of choice but that's pretty much it.

seriously why is this even a post? Bored Panda cmon!

We all have people like that in our family, and it is common for any people to want their children/relatives to stay "within the tribe". I don't like the idea of airing a family's or community's dirty laundry for the rest of the world to see, especially when there are so many people who have a bad impression of Jews as it is. I don't see the point of bringing it to the public/outsiders.

it's 2018 in America and this aunt makes an issue of this? irish marry italians, blacks marry whites, asians marry outside of their own kind. It's America.

The more you push, the more he'll resist. She obviously loves him to bits. And he obviously adores her too or this would be a much shorter and less civil text exchange. Lay off, Auntie or you'll lose him.

In dutch: "twee geloven op één kussen, daar slaapt de duivel tussen". Translation: "two religions on one cushion, the devil sleeps in between". There is some truth in it. However, it should be wiser to say: two cultures on one cushion. If you mix culture/creed in a relationship, you should be exploring the unsaid differences between your, or the devil could come in between and ruin your relationship. But, the good news is: be aware, explore it, and deal with it. Then it should be fine.

And that's y I am an atheist ! He is an intelligent guy !

can't believe the stubbornness and insistence of that woman! thumbs up for him remaining so calm! and seriously! hated in the middle east? maybe because of the crimes committed daily in Palestine in the name of Judaism! please do not mix anti Zionist with anti semetic it's getting really old and boring...arabic is semetic. if all Jewish parents teach this kids this there's no wonder there's much hate in the world

Wow. Sad.

I'm so glad he was able to respectfully argue his point and also be firm about the woman he loves that to me makes him much more of a man than yelling and screaming and cussing

Why fight over one abstract noun, 'religion' when it's doing no good to us? Does religion feed us? No. Does it provide for our families? No. And yet we won't stop barking about it. Religion is just being thrust on people who don't even accept it's terms, and if they disagree, the are scared or even threatened about hell and sin and other b******t, forcing them to follow something non existent. How is it better than terrorism? Terrorists force people to do their bidding at a gunpoint, threatening their lives. Religion does the same, but just the weapon changes. Grow up people, when are you gonna stop accepting lies for belief? Go with facts. We have better reasons to believe science than myths to follow any stupid-a*s religion, blindfolded.

this is why i chose to believe in God but not follow any religion. everyone thinks they are the chosen something,..

I've been raised a Catholic but by my 16, 17 years I stopped believing and have been atheist and agnostic since. I'm 46 now, married and with a daughter. A few days ago, my mother was insisting that I should take her to Sunday School. I responded that as I'm an atheist I wouldn't raise her in any religion but try to teach her about the main ones so she can opt if she wants. My dear mother retorted that I was baptised so I couldn't stop being Catholic. So it's sort of a slave mark... So little we came from the middle ages...
