What happens when the obstetrician squeezes and pulls on the forceps too hard during delivery?

Mike Pence’s daughter Charlotte wants to talk about tolerance — but won’t say whether Jews are going to hell





I was referring to the Mount of Olives anecdote in your book, which I will quote it in my article. My question is, what do you think will happen to Jewish people if the Messiah arrives and says that he has been here before?

I’m probably not going to get in the theological arguments. I think that I go into this in the book a little bit, just about how I think that people of faith can really come together and can find just a lot of common ground. I think the quote you’re referring to in the book is when our Israeli guide showed us around the Mount of Olives and talked to us about how people of different beliefs think about what will happen if the Messiah comes back on the Mount of Olives. When he told me that, I really just found the commonality with him and common ground that I think is really amazing and an important thing that people of faith can share.

Going back to the Mount of Olives anecdote, you said that you didn’t want to get into the theological aspect of it, but I’m curious about that, given that you are a graduate student studying theology [at Harvard]. As a Jewish person, this is something that my community is often concerned about: The idea that many Christians believe we aren’t going to be redeemed when the Messiah comes, or that we aren’t going to a positive afterlife. In terms of your own view of Christianity, how do you perceive what will happen to Jewish people?

I think that really what I got into in the book, we all kind of turned to our Israeli guide Roni, who I just really connected with, and he said that when the Messiah comes back, we’ll know, like, “who was right.” I think that’s an important perspective to have. I think that people from different faiths can definitely come together. We can all find common ground, and I think that’s really important. I think that faith is a uniting force and that’s something that my dad actually said at an interfaith meeting in Jakarta. Actually, that meeting was kind of what made me want to go to grad school and study theology and learn more about other faiths and to find common ground with people who have a faith, but it might be different from mine.

Based on her evasiveness, it's kind of obvious to me.

churches I have gone to have said that only their denomination will go to heaven, everybody else goes to hell. I can't agree with that. Everybody goes to heaven.

Someone died and as all newcomers to heaven, was given a tour of the place.

Here was where the Jews hung out, here was where the Muslims hung out, here was where the Zoroastrians hung out, here was where the polytheistic people hung out, etc.

Then there was a huge, incredibly high black wall enclosing what seemed like a square mile.

"Wow!" shouted the newcomer. "Shhh!" said the guide, not too loud!"

"How come?" asked the newcomer.

"That's where we keep the Republicans. They think they're the only ones here."
