GTFO with this "priestly" Cohen bullshit. Guess what? I'm a Cohen. I come from two Jewish parents, both of whom came from two Jewish parents, and on and on up the ancestral line. Being a Cohen hasn't meant shit for how religious of a Jew you are for centuries now.

I don't keep the Sabbath, I don't keep kosher, don't fast on the holidays, sometimes eat a bit of leavened breads on Passover, don't pray, etc. This isn't exactly a shocking thing amongst Cohens or even Jews in general. So, the way I see it, those with a Jewish father who didn't do the whole converting process yet keep the laws of Judaism and consider themselves a part of the faith? You better believe I consider them to be just as Jewish as me, if not much more so.

And unless the Jewish community as a whole is willing to let the religion die out or only be represented by the Orthodox, they better be willing to stop looking down on those with only one Jewish parent who WANT to be a part of the religion. The intermarriage rate among Jews in America is around 50 percent. That rate's not going to decrease, no matter how many times the whole "Oh, intermarriage is going to do what the Holocaust didn't" (and, yes, that line is disgustingly common) train of thought is brought up. Jewish people, like people of any other religious group, need to adapt what they do to fit their times and historical contexts somewhat.
