The job for this evening (starting at 6:30pm) is to head to the Lark Broadcasting building, scheduled for demolition later this week. Make sure to:

On the 5th floor, all electrical units are shut off and de-energized.

WHAT! The religion that came from judaism is similar to judaism. Who would have thunk. Soon ypu'll say that the gods are similar 2

I have to congratulate you- give yourself a pat on the back, you are not only the first anon I've gotten, but also, the first anon hate I've gotten! Be proud.

Okay, so I'm going to answer this in a way that I want to make clear I do not despise Catholicism as far as the actual philosophy or church- barring anything that's going on familial wise. I do not hate Christianity. Nor do I hate any of the practitioners. At all. People can find beauty and righteousness in the very ideas I rejected. There, that's out of the way with, let me get into my answer

I went to college and was surrounded in the Jewish community for around three months. I was surrounded by Jewish voices, texts, outlooks, practices ETC. So coming home and seeing the "similarities" in Catholic mass was... It was certainly something.

It was Advent time, so the term "Israel" was flying around like hot potatoes. When that is a term highly specific to the peoplehood of the Jews. Christians believe that the messiah came for everyone. Jewish people believe Jesus is entirely incapable of being the moshiach because he did not fulfill the prophecy and he was the "son of G-d" - just no bueno. Not the moschiach. So using the term Israel is..not the best from the Jewish perspective.

Another example- for the last 10 Fridays, I'd been going to shabbat dinners at a rabbi's house, joking around with my friends, breaking challah together and drinking wine blessed by the head of the household. SO, to see that rite in another form, what I was taught the "more holy form" , performed on a cracker in a worship service (because yes, "the body of christ incarnate" at Catholic mass is a cracker) in juxtaposition to the warmness of being around a dinner table, drinking wine from your own cup after the rabbi says the kiddush, and breaking bread with your friends.. Again it's weird.

So the "similarities" you see in Catholic mass to Jewish practices, from the Jewish perspective, they look like absolute inversions of what they're actually supposed to be in Judaism. There are reasons for these differences, sure, explained by many many years of church doctrine. But Jewish people are not going to look into that when step one to a multi-faceted math equation is wrong theologically.

And hey- I'm converting to Judaism. There is no reason for me to assign logic to the Catholic practices when I have committed to living a Jewish life.

Hope that answers your question, and anyone else reading, correct me if I'm wrong on anything or if you *think* I'm wrong on anything. Always open for discussion.

More on that AU where Ford takes Stanley with him to Gravity Falls…I realized they’re kind of like the Winchesters if one of the Winchesters was autistic about cryptids
