imagine buying chocolate eggs without ever considering the crucifixion of jesus christ, or kosher becoming a fad diet, the pilgrimage to Mecca becoming a fun drunk weekend getaway, the concept of reincarnation relegated to fun social media quizzes

i cannot even begin to describe how insulting it is to portray this as better than preserving cultural and religious heritage. truly tell me you know nothing about these traditions without telling me. if you're going to speak on erasing centuries of culture and religious traditions with such confidence, at least know what the fuck you're talking about

Once again begging anti-theists to realize that to get to a world without religion you’d have to commit cultural genocide. So maybe you shouldn’t push for that

#it's SO telling that op said 'religion' and all the replies just assumed christianity #that's the point of the op you found it #perhaps there are other religions #dare i say MINORITY religions (in a global sense)#that would suffer the most under a total abolition of religion #i'm not just talking about judaism either #folks mentioned this but what about sikhs? jainism? african and native folk religions?#there are still ZOROASTRIANS like learn an ounce about this topic before running your mouth #i cannot begin to describe how incredibly insulting it is to call kashrut becoming a fad diet or hajj becoming a fun drunk weekend getaway #you know observant muslims don't drink alcohol holy fuck #jewish blogging #religion
