CBS News: Dad Barred From Taking His "Jewish Baby" To Church

[zeldaofarel]

I don't think any kid should be raised in any faith. However, since the mother is with the child more, then she should have a say in how she is brought up.

[iPriestHolmes]

no, i think the fact the child was conceived by two idiot parents is hard enough on her.

[starryskye6829]

Romans 1:16

[starryskye6829]

God does not lie. Jesus Christ saves John 3:16. God spoke from heaven 3 times on this I pray that all Jews and Christians would obey God and learn His word. Remember you can't fool GOD WHO SEE s ALL AND HEARS ALL.

[tobiashimself]

What a douchebag father. And what a slanted story.

[911truthseekers]

JEWISH IS SATINISM! TALMUD, TORAH AND THE ZOHAR! DRINKING OF THE BABY BOYS BLOOD TO SUMMON DEAD SOLES AND DEMONS! Their Empire is Falling before their very eyes! Hit me up to find out what I know about the FREE ENERGY MARKET! KEEP THE TRUTH MOVEMENT GOING, TELL EVERYONE ESPECIALLY ABOUT FREE ENERGY... THAT IS ONE OF THEIR MOST SECRET PRISED POSSESSIONS RIGHT NOW!

[jacobk2]

@911truthseekers You are an idiot. Soon you will no doubt receive a Darwin award.

[SickTwistedFreak777]

@911truthseekers THEY SUMMON DEAD FEET?

[rex786]

@911truthseekers There is no satan, no dead SOULS, no demons, no angels and no gods (I am 99.9% sure of all these). So stop being a fucking child and listen to reason.

[sddallas]

Nutty Religions.

[Paulwhoisvegan]

I'm atheist, so I hope my Catholic girlfreind will not sue me for not taking my baby to church!

[slytherinspy1960]

they are both using their religion to get back at one another and hurting their little girl in the process. both are jerks if you ask me.

[toelesshoe]

Both parents are asholes. Why not let the kid decide when she's old enough? Instead they both want to brainwash her in their own favour.

[ZenMondo]

MY MADE UP BELIEFS ARE HEALTHY, YOUR MADE UP BELIEFS ARE HARMFUL! Well she's half right anyway.

[TheRosettaStoned]

it isa great thing, that they are preventing those monster jews from corrupting a child. Lets burn the jews, and the muslims, together

[TheCheshiresmile9]

How about we educate our children on all religions and give them the option including no faith at all. How about that!?!?! Motherfuckers.

[mtinp]

Stupid vs Stupid vs Stupid

[bobster451]

Religion is such bullshit!

I find it incredible this crap is pushed onto any child.

It is akin to child abuse.

[KevinBjorke]

What's remarkable is that this made the news. Beligerent believers demanding that the courts force their religious views onto other people is a very common occurrence -- esp in family court. The judges are usually smart enough to have read the constitution, fortunately.

[byteresistor]

Choose a religion? That's outrageous! What would be the point in religion if people would be allowed to make up their own mind?!

Muhammed understood this and so there is a death sentence for apostasy in Islam. And then they say there's no compulsion in islam. R O F L

[allnotreal]

how about letting th daughter choose her own faith

[melora72]

There was a girl named Carman Cohen. Her mother called her Carman and her father called her Cohen. By the time she was 12 years old, the poor kid din't know whether she war Carman or Cohen.

This case brought that joke to my mind. The poor kid won't know whether she's coming or going. Let her be exposed to both religions then let her make up her mind or reject both when she's older.

[fkerpants]

How about letting the fucking kid decide for herself what she wants to do when she's old enough?

Oh wait. Can't do that. Have to start the indoctrination early so it's harder to break free when you realize that the sky daddy is all a bunch of primitive bullshit.

[SicSeb]

What the fuck is wrong with this dude?

[damuschka]

Wait until the daughter can deside for her own.

I was baptised when i was about 2 years old, i am now 21 years old without a confession and an atheist. I told my parents that i would´ve wanted to wait, till i can deside for my own.

[evane1989]

There is no difference between either religion! Pouring water onto a baby doesn't make a difference either.

[niriop]

"That's just not accurate."

I fucking hate that phrase; just shows how much a person is trying to bullshit in a refined manner.

"More than the divorce?"

I thought Catholics couldn't get divorced? Against the sacrements? You'll baptise your *ethinically* Jewish daugther, but won't honour a believe held on the same level?

I'm with the mother; this is malice and nothing more...

[whydid666]

You can not bar some one legally from another religion, so your born Jewish, so you have be shut in a closet to keep your faith Jewish come on this is a little girl let her make up her own god dam mind as she grows up and what does a baptism do for you when your parents do it for you as a kid, didn't stop be form rejecting faith as i grew up and cases of parents using legal action to force there religion onto there kids doesn't help.

[GatorHighlights3]

Well, if you believe that you are helping your child reach an eternal afterlife to be with the supreme creator of the universe, this is how you will act. The mother is a fucking brainwashed cunt, which is why she is now trying to raise her daughter to be a brainwashed cunt (no offense to the little girl).

And baptisms are a joke. You are "saved" because some clergy man poured water on you. This is ancient mysticism; mindless, stupid garbage. Shame kids have to grow up with this kind of stuff

[niriop]

@whydid666 I hate the idea that the child would be forced into either religion; the point I'm making is that the father can't use religion as a weapon to get back at the mother. That *is* malicious anyway you look at it.

[unlucky13tattoo]

imagine being said in high voice "what would Jesus do"? religion = hate, crime, and war...

[ceresWar]

this is why you don't marry crazy bitches

[Stead3111]

ahhh see how the religions love each other.

[scottintulsa]

That's because one of them is following a false religion, and not the one true religion.

[naliuj]

hmmmmmmmm let me guess the true religion is.... THE ONE YOU SUBSCRIBE TOO.

[scottintulsa]

My god will beat your god up!

[nidodson]

Douche move by not communicating well with the baby's mom.

[Philos1977]

Why, oh why don't people realise that religion poisons everything.

[StrangerSmith]

How dare that man subject his baby daughter to a ritual with the sprinkling of water and meaningless utterances and such, surrounded by people who pretend differently than her mother pretends!

Arrgghh!!! The outrage!!

The bible says we should stone him to death! We should probably kill the baby too... you know... just to be safe. We don't want to piss off god.

[godlessmessiah]

A baby is no more a jew, than a worker for UPS

[kalamain]

Oh how would I feel sorry for a Judge who has to clean this one up.

I'd like to see the Judge demand that the child receive NO religious indoctrination at all...But that may be my own feeling come in to play here.

The Jewish Religion is usually passed along the maternal line. But the dad seems to have custody....

I Pity the Judge on this one!

[SireStefan]

religulous indeed

[HumanStrategy]

Babies don't have a religion, stupid fucking people.

[greatwood]

As soon as the reporter said he vowed to do what the mother asked I turned it of. He broke his word so now the courts stepped in to fix it. Nuf said.

[ET4u]

Wait wait wait... we can take out restraining orders against who can go into what religious buildings???

Ok! I'm putting a restraining order on EVERY HUMAN BEING that they cannot set foot in ANY religious building. Checkmate.

[altosax1st]

"I want my child to be raised in my irrationally held, god-given beliefs''

"NO, I want her to be raised in MY version of it"

*father sprinkles water on girl's head

"OMG, you sprinkled WATER on my baby girl and showed her that there are more than one version. AHHHHHH *takes out restraining order"

Oh the stupidity and insanity of it all! I hope the best of the child stuck in the middle of this petty feud.

[Celticking36]

Yeah! You can't tell us which religion to brainwash our kids into! We're AMERICAN!! LOL

[AAL]

Perfect comment

[region1111]

This video has been put up by atheistmediablog, and thus its primary audience here is people thinking about religion and atheism.

But - I honestly think the main issue with this couple is not religion, it's the fact that they hate each other and they're both out for revenge.

If they weren't fighting over religion, they'd be at each other's throats over something else.

And just for the record, I'm an atheist.

[myjizzureye]

Well spotted sir

[MrNemy86]

this sounds like the premise for a woody allen fim. lol i know the mother shit herself when she saw the photo her child being baptized.

[UTubeBrowzer]

this child should be taken out of both of these parents hands. They've clearly put their religions above the welfare of their child.

[myjizzureye]

Here here (claps)

[DarkAngel182]

This whole case illustrates the stupidity of religion and the petty mindedness of its followers.

If anything it highlights why children shouldnt be indoctrinated into ANY faith at such a young age.

[vaedamoss]

I believe both parents are wrong. A child has no religious beliefs; there is no such thing as a "jewish baby" or a "catholic baby" any more than there are "repulblican babies" or "marxist babies". What this poor child needs is parents that can teach her critical thinking.

[CutieBabe25]

The pot and the kettle are bickering with each other. I'm more on the fathers side, the wife hasn't read the US constitution apparently.

[neil73]

The child will probably grow up hating religion; in the long term, this may be a good result, but the father looks mentally unstable to me!

[labrat882]

This is just the thing Richard Dawkins wrote about.. raisin "catholic", "muslim" or "jewish" children.

They're children, they haven't decided anything..

[EntinludeX]

"Jewish" child, "christian" child, "hindu" child... abominations. A child is no more a funcitoning part of any faith than they are a member of the local Postal workers union.

[TheOtherSide100]

People should get their superstitious bullcrap in writing. How silly!

[liquidhead]

holy hell, this is such utter bullshit.

[sheepwshotguns]

both these parents are retarded and spiteful.

[factvfiction]

No child should be any religion just like no child is a democrat or a conservative. THese decision should be made as an informed grown up. There is should be a rule for children, Freedom from religion. Educate them about the history of religion by all means, hopefully they will see the myth behind the stories.

[IyotenX]

I vote for the mother's side.

[irtimed]

The kid either doesn't care, or like one parent better.

[myswtsatn]

The Dad had no right to have the girl baptized! And the mom doesnt have the right to raise the girl in Judaism. The girl deserves to choose the religion she wants when she can think for herself instead of being told what religion is right.

[granvillain]

I am behind the mother 110%

[adzug]

are all your arguments only statements or do you have any reasons for the thingsd you believe?

[Alakrit]

Why? Does it really matter what religion this child is going to be forced to practice?

[michaelmage]

Stupid, stupid ... superstitious claptrap.

These people need to grow up.

[dreamdewil]

Any shit that isn't Bullshit isn't good enough for my daughter!!!

[nekedemus]

Soo...These nice people can´t agree on which insane cult they will brainwash their little atheist in to. How sweet.

[DeletedDelusion]

You said it best.

[mynameisbobtoo]

It takes religion to make people truly evil.

Do these people oppose the Prince of Peace? Lets go and smash them! We have the self-given assurance of being the Princes most faithful followers, even while we violate his teaching."

— Charles Taylor

Point made.

[VesusSheist]

20 years from now, that kid will look at her moronic parents and say, "You are why I'm an atheist".

[FulltimeAtheist]

Once again religion helping people be stupid. I feel sorry for the child.

[chestbuster1987]

mr. and mrs. moron. poor kid

[Craydon]

He seems like a dick.

[athenazg]

This is ridiculous. Either both parents have a say or neither do. I vote neither. The focus should be on logical, rational intelligence, not blind, irrational, illogical faith.

[InYourFaceNewYorker]

Where's Richard Dawkins when you need him?

[IAmTHEFreak1936]

lol, true that.

[dskrilla1]

I do agree that taking the child to church will harm her, but not for reasons that the mother thinks..

[Scoforever]

Let her do both. She gets presents and doughnuts.

[MatchCard]

Why can't the kid choose?

Hopefully the child doesn't think there are only two options....

[xxdjsethxx]

I kinda figured that.. notice the =P at the end ;)

[TAz69x]

Wow, that's pathetic.

"She got splashed with some water! ahhh!"

Useless woman. Guy's not too high up there in apparent intellect either unfortunately.

New restraining order: keep ALL INFANTS, EVERYWHERE away from religion for ALL TIME.

[MysteryManoLove]

Wow.... thats sad

[Biankito]

Some parents still think their children are a part of them and think they should work, study or follow the same religion they did.

Its not common, but it happens, religion has only lived this long because of parental indoctrination, its a never ending cycle. One generation to the next.

[NermalsChannel]

Emotional detriment of the child? Why don't they ask their child?

Oh wait, the child isn't old enough to make a decision like that.

The absurdity of religion shows it's ugly head again.

[Squawkerd]

Fight for teh right to force religion upon her. Ahh well, one more episode that highlights the absurdity of faith.

[SorcerousCeanothus]

Augh, both of those parents sicken me. They're both incredibly selfish to be fighting over making decisions without the consent or understanding of the child. Yeah, she's going to be confused - and they're both at fault! I'm alarmed that the point wasn't even touched on. How can anyone think forcing a child into a religion like this is okay?

[ettubrute84]

If the Mother is Jewish... the Child Is Jewish... What a Douche Bag Father!!!!!

[NermalsChannel]

Their BOTH are.

The child isn't given the freedom of religion, it's being indoctrinated.

[ettubrute84]

No... the Child is Jewish by Blood... Its not so much on the religions view... The child could grow up not doing anything religious at all and she would still be Jewish... but the father cross the line.. he took something that wasnt his to take

[lothrazar]

religion is not passed by blood, it is passed by teaching.

even if it is passed by blood the father is not jewish so the baby is half and half

let the baby grow up and decide which mythology to follow if any.

[NermalsChannel]

"No... the Child is Jewish by Blood..."

What does the child's ancestry have to do with religion?

Are you a racist?

[gigantibyte]

There are atheist and secular Jews too. You don't have to be religious to be Jewish.

[NermalsChannel]

Obvious statement is obvious.

ettubrute84 still has to explain why ancestry has anything to do with the idiot mother and father, and their religious indoctrination..

[Doazic]

Technically most of them are, in the US anyways.

[0906peter]

Well you kinda have to make the distinction between the Jewish religion and the Jewish people.

[Sqirril]

The baby was a nigger that's why they were divorced.

[Alakrit]

Oh you mean like when parents decide to circumcise children? How could he "take" anything with a baptism? Water was merely sprinkled on the childs head, and while I find that a useless ritual and religion, its not like he literally removed something from the babies body. I think the whole thing is moronic and the parents are not thinking about the welfare of the child.

[spikesmth]

I sense one more Atheist in 10 years.

[mrlurp]

A fight a fight between a Christian and. a. Jew. whos. white?...

May the best Gawd win!

[Jugglingbuffoon]

That is disgusting. That woman should be ashamed of herself.

[markmccool]

Yeah a Jew with the last name "Reyes" That kid isn't gonna get beat-up every day.

/s

[Aaberg123]

Worst part is that CBS fails to call a spade a spade and expose both of these idiots for what they are.

[IanBillings00]

Here's a novel idea:

Raise your child agnostic to any religion and let them decide what they think is the correct path when they get to the proper age!

Holy shit people, children are NOT 'of' any religion for the simple fact that they can NOT know what is the truth for themselves.

Another note; WHY did the father convert to xtianity? Nobody cares to ask? If he can't give a good answer it is clear he is just doing this out of spite. I mean, they can't have been divorced that long...

[reasonnotgod]

proof richard dawkins was right....there's no such thing as a christian child. just a child with stupid parents

[bhoas]

Now this gave me plenty of new ways of attacking religion... Thanks for the wonderful upload!

[Ryan44567]

Why don't they discuss the real issue at hand? The baby should have the right to choose when she is old enough to make an informed decision.

[WerewolfOfTheWater]

I hate the idea that children are whatever religion their parents are. Religion is a CHOICE that YOU make. A baby has NO religion because babies can't yet understand religion or abstract concepts. What a crock of shit!

[GermanStraight1]

well ...

don´t you just love it when the abrahamistic believer turn on themselfs :-)))

fighting over who has the right version of believe !

keep goin folks , the world would be a better place without you !

Other then that ... that is a private dispute !

Brgds

GSO

[kentekent]

I have also been barred from taking my Marxist-Leninist vegan baby to our rallys :(

[biggesttrucker]

If they don't raise her as a Muslim, she will go to hell. Jew/Christianity is a man corrupted message.

[Rockster969]

Na,it's all bullshit, just thought you should know.

I mean,a man who sticks his willie in a young girl can't have anything good about him and hence an impostor and a speaker of satanic verses,if ya believe that kinda bollix.

[KrimsonRequiem]

Hopefully this feud will go on during this girls life and she will realize that they are both stupid and that neither religion is right and become an atheist lol

[xxdjsethxx]

God never existed there for never died =P

[Keippernicus]

Oh man, what a cluster fuck this is why you teach kids critical thinking and let them figure it out.

[region1111]

Yeah. You can tell it's a back-and-forth game of revenge with both of them. I can't stand situations like that.

I used to be willing to put up with bad behaviour from people I was dating, but these days I try to screen them out early.

It would really suck to find yourself married to someone who's got an agenda and a vendetta against you.

[deauvillimus]

So what seems to be the problem here? Just find out, which God is right: Yaweh or the Christian God. Or Allah. Or Poseidon. Or Thor. Or Wotan. Or The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Or whatever God you choose to pick. What seems to be the problem?

[Kimbahley]

This is a difficult question. How are they going to decide if the girl is straight or gay if they can't come to agreements? How will they decide her political beliefs!? They wont even be able to choose who she marries if they can't deicde between the God of the old testament and the other version of the God of the old testament. I guess we're going to have to go to a judge on all these accounts, but we better do so quickly before she develops the brain functions to deicde for herself.

[IanBillings00]

Your sarcasm is priceless!

But you raise a good point, what is next? Do parents start going to their lawyers to pre-determine their child's political affiliation? I can already hear it now...

"I wont have MY child raised to be a climate-change-believing DEMOCRAT!"

[Kimbahley]

No, do away with the laywers. I say divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. And each half shall be raised however best fit its parent.

[IanBillings00]

Haha, "Okay little annie, now you have to watch your daily hour of Glenn Beck showing you how to act like you know what you're talking about... Annie? Annie.. why won't you move Annie? Oh wait... this half didn't get the side of the brain it needs for locomotion!! Ahhh!"

Seriously though, children need to be raised by two parents who have a healthy relationship. Once religion is gone we will have one less BS reason to divide otherwise happy families.

[DuxlyHuxley]

Splashing a little bit of water on a kid doesn't deserve this much attention. Also, his wife is hot

[Daud2008]

I believe the guy is right, and from the tone he said it, well it seems the wife divorced him, maybe she found someone else. But for sure a child is more hurt by a divorce than a change of faith.

[styrofoamheart]

stupid religious people.

[Kozzalols]

This is sick. Fuck both religions. Don't baptise or fricken force judaism down her throat.

Morons. LEt your own daughter decide when she has an education and is an adult.

[wafflethug]

hahaha... funny story
