I stumbled upon this posting regarding the destruction of the Jewish population ( in the wake of intermarriage and the like). It reminded me of Dr. Laura and her abandoning of Judaism.
As a great Rabbi once said "today we live in a disposable society....There are disposable forks, spoons, diapers ..... And marriages" his speech was in reference to the fact that people are so quick to divorce these days... I think he should have included Religion.
