I always say that I was raised Catholic and leave it at that. Besides, being a Catholic is like being a Jew because you can stop going to church but you never get rid of all of the baggage. Not diddled, by-the-by.

TacticalUrbanHomo posted:I hope you are trolling people when you say that, because it's asinine. The feelings referred to by words such as "love" or "drunk" are not communicated in those words, the words describe by definition. That is to say, they are ways of defining feelings that the listener is expected to be aware of, if not have a familiarity with, independent of hearing the words for them. To suggest that language cannot be used to describe your "spiritual experiences" is to suggest that they are truly unique to you, and therefore incomprehensible to anyone else, which you can't possibly have any real reason to believe. What sort of sick gently caress trolls other people?

Since I am a kind and friendly person who doesn't use swear words, the question I usually get is "What denomination are you?" Because of this assumption, I tend to say either "Allah is God and Muhammed is his prophet" or instead of answering just start a very loud and public debate about abortion, in which I refuse to commit to an opinion because "there are valid arguments on both sides". realtalk: Usually just "no" and change the subject, but if you really want to confound a believer just say you don't have an opinion about religion.

Religion is a virus that brainwashes children and makes them do things they'd never do otherwise. It must be destroyed at all costs. Not like atheism, the worldview that killed the most people in the history of the world, that one is good

It's a pretty well known fact that I'm Jewish. Amongst my friends anyway. I never say anything about it. It usually comes up whenever a new person says something like "he loving jewed me out of...." Or whatever. My friends got my back and tell them not to say poo poo like that because I'm Jewish. It's pretty much the closest I get to the experience of what it would be like if say I was black and someone dropped an N bomb without noticing I was there. It's always fun to watch someone back peddle out of their racist and anti Semitic poo poo. "Oh dude I'm sorry I didn't mean that". Actually you loving did. You piece of poo poo. I hope you feel embarrassed. You should. I don't really believe in that poo poo but I'm cool with appreciating my cultural heritage.

Because I feel that your average American has no idea what being anti-semitic even means, and in my experience the most racist Americans like and support Jews and Israel especially because they view them as the sworn enemy of Muslims. For example I work with some seriously racist guys that will say the most repugnant poo poo about every race but they just love Jews and Israel.

And even then I would bet that lots of people that live in NYC wouldn't even be able to identify it as a slur.

The most common thing I hear is white kids throwing around the word Jew like they throw around the word "nigga". "Don't be such a loving Jew" "They jewed me out of loot on that boss" "[Insert holocaust joke]" It's not overtly anti Semitic because I don't think they realize what they are saying is anti Semitic. The same way they have never been called out for saying "nigga" because they live in Tulsa or some poo poo and have never even seen a black person. Then there are some seriously hardcore Jew hating folk. These are people usually yelling about conspiracy theories. It seems harmless but some of them can be pretty harsh. "Hitler should've finished the job and killed all those loving kikes. Then we wouldn't have all these Jews running the media and twisting the news to fit their agenda of revenge via FEMA camps blah blah blah". They can go loving hard. Of course there is also the not crazy type of person that just out right hate Jews for no particular reason. They exist. And they are incredibly vocal about it. E: before my friends grew up and realized they were being dicks they used to throw pennies at me in public places. Windows 98 fucked around with this message at 16:06 on May 22, 2015 |

Holocaust jokes are deeply insensitive to the German people who have had to suffer through the greatly exaggerated tales of the holocaust being real.

I remember when I was 14 op. Atheism and non-religious/agnostic/none are pretty much the same thing it's just lil babies trying to put themselves in a unique basket or present a superlative self image to others who would negatively judge one descriptor but not the other. You either buy into the mysticism or you don't bother with it.
It's "need" not "needs" ya big dummy.

Atheists just so happened to murder SIXTY MILLION BABIES in America since 1973. Atheists have murdered more Christians than any other group, including Muslims. That is saying something. Christians built all the hospitals, colleges, universities and charities in this nation you lying ignoramus! Only recently did secularists finally begin to do what Christians have done ALL OVER THE WORLD for 2000 years. Christians feed and clothe the poor, atheists and liberals exploit them, take advantage of them, and manipulate them through lies TO GET VOTES AND POWER.
