To be fair, a lot of the reason for that feeling among some Jews (particularly secular ones, in my experience) is just trying to make up some numbers to fend off extinction after so many of us were slaughtered in the Holocaust. So it's not the typical stupid purely faith-related bigotry.
Of course, I generally agree. Way better off without some nutbag who takes religiosity (and identical religiosity, at that) as a measure of virtue.

Yeh, I've heard that story, but that can be applied to lots off peoples. I have no interest in seeing my ancestors' ethnic heritage perpetuated. I'm of no tribe, no religion, no offical group. The way I see it, the chief impediment to man's progression twoard a better life for everyone is tribalism/ethnicism/religious exclusivity. In the end, those who foolishly cling to traditions which differntiate themselves from others will find themselves alone. The melting pot is only going to get more and more mixed - embrace change or be a dinosaur.
Hell, change is nice. Have members of other faiths/ethnicity marry into my family would bring new views, foods, social customs, etc. I like to try new shit. Life's too fucking short to be Archie Bunker.
