Christians who celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur a growing trend

I am SO SICK  of this appropriative crap. If you want to be Jewish – convert. But as a gentile, you are NOT entitled to our cultural practices, much less to distort them.

this is disgusting 

this is like if we took your most important holidays out of context and celebrated them with no idea of what they meant

get fucked if you do this

This may be one of the most offensive disgusting things I’ve read that wasn’t about literal Nazism.

They are taking our most holy most sanctified days and appropriating, bastardizing, and corrupting them.

Reading this article made me feel physically ill.

If you want to practice holidays the way Jesus did, then you’d have to be Jewish (in which case you shouldn’t really care how Jesus celebrated). But don’t fool yourself into thinking that you can fulfill the commandments as they’re written in the Torah because you literally can’t.

If you are not Jewish you are not obligated, nor allowed, to fulfill mitzvot because you have already broken the covenant.

But honestly? Thats besides the point. This horrific display of appropriation goes too far. They said in this article that, and I’m paraphrasing, ‘sometimes, someone will bring a shofar for fun’. The shofar is a sanctified instrument blown for very specific reasons in very specific ways at very specific times. Just doing it because you can is inappropriate.

They pick and choose which parts of the holidays they want to practice. They want to practice like Jesus, but their sukkot are actual buildings, resorts or hotels, ignoring the important party which is to be put woth nature. They say they want to fulfill the commandments as they are written, but not really.

They think thay they can get away with stealing our culture and our religion. Well they can’t.

TL;DR:
if you’re not Jewish you are always more than welcome to come and respectfully observe our practices, but you don’t get to choose a handful and say that they’re yours now.

@imstronglikeanamazon wrote: “If you are not Jewish you are not obligated, nor allowed, to fulfill mitzvot because you have already broken the covenant.”

THIS IS FALSE.  If you are not Jewish, you are not obligated (nor allowed in most cases) to fulfill most mitzvot because the covenant never applied to you to begin with.  Non-Jews are not considered to have broken any covenant by default, and it is tremendously unjust to say so.

That said: it should go without saying that it is also tremendously inappropriate for Christians to celebrate Jewish holidays, and it would be inappropriate even without the long history of Christian persecution of Jews for celebrating these selfsame holidays.

They want to practice like Jesus

Here’s like, a wild and radical thought for them then, maybe, like idk, feed the poor, care for the homeless, protest injustice and stand with the oppressed, love thy neighbor and stop being such a fucking shitheel blights upon humanity and actually practice what Jesus was supposed to have said and done instead of whatever the fuck else they are doing, cause it sure as shit ain’t the teachings of Christ.

Tbh I never read Gifted Kidℱ Angst as “I’m no longer special” but more like “I had unrealistically high academic expectations put upon me at a very young age and learned to measure my worth by academic success and as a consequence constantly feel as if I’m not good enough”

Also we never had to study or try very hard in earlier grades, so by the time we get to high school or college, our skills have plateaued and we have no study skills to fall back on whatsoever. We go from excelling with no effort to failing and having no idea how to catch up.

Also, once you are out of school, there are no more academic tests with which to prove your own worth to yourself. This only heightens the sinking sensation of ‘I am not good enough.’

“We go from excelling with no effort to failing and having no idea how to catch up.”

That.

And like especially when you’re a disabled/autistic gifted kid
 it can look a whole lot like the things that other people are good at (but you’re not) are just easy for them.  And the things that you’re good at (but they’re not) are just easy for you.  So it seems a whole lot like, whatever someone is good at, it’s always just easy.

It’s easy to miss, until a whole lot later, if you’re lucky enough to get to know people who are truly masters of their craft, that to be really, deeply good at something in a lasting way, is a shit load of repetitive, tedious work almost no matter who you are.

Then also there are doorknobs like Adam Grant who hold gifted children individually responsible for not fixing everything that’s wrong with the world all alone.  When in reality, no one can do that, but that gets put on gifted kids, that we’re supposed to grow up to change the world single-handedly.

The phenomenon of young conservatives being surrounded by liberalism at colleges and social media and then seriously thinking that conservatism is some sort of counterculture movement while the right holds control over every branch of the federal government and most state governments always makes my head spin

Fight back! Support the president, congress, and the Fortune 500!

*parasitic capitalists jack up the prices of essentials in the aftermath of a disaster*

Media: unfortunate but what are you gonna do

*people steal those overpriced essentials because they cannot afford to pay the extortionate prices being asked*

Media: what the fuck do these criminals think they’re doing

Since when are Nikes and flat screens essentials?

What a stunning argument I’ve never heard before! It definitely isn’t based in racist stereotypes and urban legends rather than observable reality! Truly, you have shown me the error of my ways!

Fuck off.
