Sometimes the chickens enjoy reminding me that they’re omnivores. Just rescued this girl from the wrath of Luna’s reptile brain. I think she’ll be okay.
So it’s my parent’s fault that I can’t buy a house.
This of course means that if the effect of rising house prices is a reliance on generational wealth, then you guessed it! this is housing segregation in action!
Why is it that your family gathers on Christmas in order to celebrate peace? Why not Eid? Why not Rosh Hashanah? Why not a million different holidays from the literal thousands of existing religions?
The reason you’re celebrating on Christmas of all holidays is because you’re culturally Christian. It’s not something to be ashamed of – you just need to be aware of it.
this might sound stupid but would it be right for an athiest raised in a christian culture to celebrate other religions’ holidays in the way of celebrating a time of peace/celebration/family?
I mean, I don’t think sheisawonder is suggesting that. I think they’re just using those other holidays, and the fact cultural Christians don’t celebrate them, as part of the explanation. There’s nothing wrong with celebrating Christian holidays secularly when you’re culturally Christian, and there’s nothing wrong with being culturally Christian either. There are secular Jews and even atheist Jews I know who still celebrate their holidays because that’s there culture.
I think the point is that people should be aware that they’re going to be looking at other religions through a certain lense by default, and that if they want to be objective then they need to try and take a step back and see other religions for what they are, and not through a Christian lens. That includes people wanting to critique religions, and people who are just trying to understand other people.
I wish life were more like Sims. Like, just log in to my computer and get any job I want without an interview. Yeah, I gotta start at the bottom of the ranks but all I gotta do is play chess alone at home and talk to myself in the mirror to build skills and get an instant promotion.
you can still build skills by playing chess alone and talking to yourself in the mirror. they’re just not useful.
