Article from the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles

So whaddya think? I understand religious thoughts are intensely persona, but when a public figure discusses them, it’s fair game. I understand her struggle, in that I have had such thoughts about my religious belief system for the past couple of years.

I don’t think it’s any of our business. This is the kind of thing which should be kept to yourself.

From the article:

I guess that explains it.

I would think that her paucity of outlets would better be explained by the vitriol she spews, but that’s my bitter, cynical side coming out.

I think she’s been worshiping a New Deity: Al Mightydol’ Ar

In fact, it’d be nice if Dr. Laura kept more things to herself.

Oh of course. Nobody converts to another religion unless there is money in it for them …

Very astute, SnoopyFan, that’s exactly what I meant; NOBODY. I couldn’t have possibly just meant Dr. Laura. Even though that’s the only person we are talking about, you instinctively knew I meant nobody on Earth ever changes religion for anything but money, and not just the person under discussion. I salute you, genius.

I found extremely ironic to hear this right after I myself left Orthodox Judaism, especially since I also converted. (I however am looking for answers within Judaism)

It would be even more ironic I suppose if I had been a big admirer of Dr. Laura, but I rather inclined more to the opinion that she should have kept more to herself.

I don’t see a change or a conflict … seems to be the same path she’s been on … seems she’s had many moments of “I’d never …” in a black-and-white sense … change into “Whoops, well NOW I would never…” I know the big station in the S.F. Bay Area didn’t seem let her show stay or go based on her religion … but rather her consistancy … or lack.
