Do you seriously believe that other religions might be "equally valid" to your Judaism? Stop and think about that a moment. You are not merely a follower of Judaism, you are one of its <i>teachers.</i> Would you <i>teach</i> that Christianity or Islam are equally good choices for a member of your congregation, as Judaism? A cardinal is also a <i>teacher.</i> And the Pope, more so. Also, don't say "critiquing" if you mean "criticizing."
