5. I share this feeling

Wednesday

I am not Jewish, but; I grew up in a small town and Judaism was a religion other than Christianity in my area so I decided to educate myself and attend their synagogue for a bit. Wonderful compassionate people, and the rabbi who was a woman oversaw a lesbian wedding I attended.

I was always very sympathetic towards Israel, and after the terror attack in their country. Everything that has happened afterwards has been a downward spiral though, and I cannot in good conscience support it or any religious/ethno state.
