Tamar

My brothers and sisters and I went to to a Jewish preschool because my Catholic parents judged it was the best option available and they wanted the best for us. My youngest brother stayed into his early school years. He wore a kepa, attended synagogue and sang Jewish religious songs because that was an expectation. I doubt there are many Catholics who can recite the Torah. < g >

Did it damage him? Not in the slightest. Maybe the other way round- one time he decided he had a duty to inform his classmates that Jesus had actually already been and gone some time ago(!) but all parties laughed about that, we didn't go all serious and estimate damages.

Reciting "Under God" is trivial compared to the religious and cultural discord we experienced which probably made us more tolerant, hardly a "damage".

My advice to people who fixate on this very minor point is: GET A GRIP. There are more important things to worry about.
