Hi Maurice Winn; Re: "What's the definition of membership? Israelis couples could decide for a month before their wedding that they are not members of any religious group, or join the Love Cult which believes in sexual passion as the manifestation of life force of the universe and they wish to worship in that sacred communion. Then, after marrying, they could go back to attending their normal superstitious congregations when they realize that the Love Cult doesn't hold all the answers either, but does introduce some interesting questions, not to mention problems."

Your supposition is wrong. If it were that simple, people wouldn't be bothered with the expense of going to Cyprus, they'd work around the rules right there in Israel. The simple fact is that to get married in Israel, you have to get the religious rightwing fruitcakes to give you permission.

Israel went to great care to prepare her bed. Now she must either lie in it, or get up and redo it. Since our politicians have put us in bed with the Israelis, we are stuck with the same foreign policy errors that got the Israelis into a situation of terror forever, at least until enough of our people have had enough.

"...so what's the word for banning marriages between people of different religious membership?"

I don't know, perhaps Nürnburg would do for those who remember.
