Actually, I think those are pretty good reasons for doing things and I
have lot more respect for that than for those who act for no considered
reason at all. I abandoned Catholicism at age 12 for that reason
precisely, if you want to know the truth.
So why the "so there"? Seems like a bit of a non sequitur.
I don't recall if any of Salinger's characters were Jewish, tho. For
some reason I thought the Glass family was too, but I can't recall any
particular reason for thinking that and a lot of reasons not to think
so...
