Literally every conversation with a colleague/peer in the academic field I'm in (anthropology, with a focus on human prehistory and human evolution) upon them learning I'm an observant religious Jew goes like this:

Person: "Sorry if this is a personal question, but how do you.... y'know......deal with it?"

Me: "Deal with what?"

Person: "Y'know...... y'know......your religion......"

Me: "Meaning?"

Person: "Well, um, how old do you believe the earth is?"

Me: "I follow the geological consensus, which is approximately 4.5 Billion years"

Person: "But......but.....your Bible says that it's 6,000 years old....."

Me: "Technically 5,783 years, so you're wrong there, haha"

Person: "Okay but how do you....how do you reconcile that with science?"

Me: "I don't need to reconcile it. They're not in opposition."

Person: "??"

Me: "The plain text in the Tanakh states that it has been 5,783 years since the creation of Adam, and consequently the world. Judaism has never been about taking the text in the Tanakh plainly, there's always deeper meanings. Who's to say that the 5,783 years aren't just the years since a couple named Adam and Eve met and copulated, triggering the begining of the lineage of Abraham, Moses, and the entire Jewish lineage, and that the six days of creation aren't six phases which are actually pretty in-line with our understanding of evolution?"

Person: "But.....some people believe that it's literally been 5,783 years since the earth was literally created!"

Me: "Okay..... that's what they believe. I don't see how it should bother me, especially considering we're in the field of anthropology where we try to study other patterns of belief, not cast judgement upon them."

Person: "But other Jews believe that!!!"

Me: "Again.....why should that affect my religious and academic senses of self? Judaism has never been a monolith of belief, anyway."

Person: "But-"

#for real it's so tiring #i literally could not give two shits what other people believe #and considering anthropology's history with mocking indigenous creation stories quite frankly you people should be doing better #anthropology #religion #judaism #personal

The more I learn about judaism the more I wonder where tf christianity got all its bad shit. Why is divorce a sin in christianity when judaism has recognized the right to divorce for nearly a millennia and has codified religious laws for it. Why does christianity consider sex to be dirty (to the point where puritans considered it a sin to enjoy having sex with your own spouse) when in judaism it's considered holy and it's a literal mitzvah to have sex with your spouse on the sabbath. Why does christianity consider it a sign that you're faithless if you question your religion when in judaism that's considered an essential part to developing your faith. I'm probably stating the obvious here but I still can't get over the fact that there's no historical basis to any of this shit before christianity started, it's like christians just said "hey guys what if we took the torah and built a new religion around it but this time it was actively hostile to human life"

#rambling #disclaimer this isnt about individual christians im speaking about the religious trauma i experienced in my own life etc etc #these are just a few examples that I've noticed but they're definitely something #the part about sex in particular shocked me bc sex is pretty much viewed as actively evil in a lot of christian denominations #like you should only do it to create children and if you take pleasure in it (even if its with your own spouse) youre a dirty sinner #there arent as many examples like this nowadays but if you read puritan laws about sex it's like #you're allowed to have sex with your wife basically 10 times a year but you have to be fully clothed with the lights off #and you cant have sex on a holiday or a sunday and you cant touch each other and you have to try as hard as possible to hate it #literally WHERE did that mindset come from?? like for real #in judaism having sex with your spouse is basically considered a celebration of everything holy #and if you have sex on the sabbath (the holiest day in the jewish calendar—above every holiday) #its considered TWICE as holy #make it make sense #this is one of the things people mean when they say that lumping judaism in with christianity as 'abrahamic' religions is meaningless #theyre literally nothing alike #the only similarity is the torah but thats only half of the christian bible and one third of the jewish one #AND christianity interprets most of it completely differently from how judaism does #im tired #greatest hits #hall of fame

Zoro does care about Luffy and his newly acquired form, but in the way he's been caring since his captain started with his gears. he cares because he has to know the side effects and how they affect Luffy. Luffy is a God, but that isn't news for Zoro, not when he's been holy from the very start. if Zoro fought for Luffy, if he left light kisses on his cheeks and hugged him as tightly as possible whenever they have to separate and will bite him and let him wear his shirts to sleep, and if he prays by helping him whenever he wants to do something stupid, and if he prays when he lets Luffy drag him everywhere like he's a ragdoll, and if he prays every single time he wakes up next to him. if Zoro believes so strongly in him, it's because he's holy in the way he's human, in the way he's strong all the while he is able to bleed, how he's able to laugh and cry, the way he gets angry on behalf of his friends when you hurt them, a man who frees and helps and yet hates when they call him a hero, he's reckless and makes mistakes, he's greedy and possessive, and he learns, he gets better, he's not the same person he was two years ago and he won't the same as he is now two years into the future. Luffy is a God, Zoro cares about this fact, in the way he's been caring for a long time now because it's not new for him, in the way he will care while he makes sure his captain can get what he wants

#one piece #zolu #if Zoro isn't madly in love with his captain then why is he always looking at him like he can't quite believe he's real #Zoro's famous “that's *my* captain. the future pirate king” stare #the way he looks at him so fondly and that smile small of his #u know which one i'm talking about #anyway #zolu and religion #bc what am i #if not a simple human being #monkey d. luffy #roronoa zoro

stop recommending alternative medicine to chronically ill people I am going to fight someone. No I don't need more ozone no my spine isn't misaligned no colloidal silver will not fix me or anyone else I have a real condition that can't be treated with bullshit and recommending me bullshit is insulting and dangerous. Saying that chronically ill people would be fixed if we "just" did something is reductive of the complexity of chronic illness, it's ableism.

btw faith healing absolutely counts as alternative medicine and, despite being christian myself, if you come up to me and try to pray for me without my permission I'm running over your toes.

DINS COVERT IS NOT A CULT. IT IS AN ORTHODOX RELIGIOUS GROUP THAT STEMMED FROM DEATH WATCH BUT JUST BECAUSE IT ORIGINATED FROM DEATH WATCH DOES NOT MAKE IT A CULT. STOP CALLING IT A CULT. STOP WANTING DIN TO GO AGAINST HIS BELIEFS. STOP WANTING DIN TO TAKE OFF THE HELMET BECAUSE OF HIS BELIEFS. NORMALIZE RELIGIOUS RELATIONSHIPS. NORMALIZE PEOPLE RECONNECTING WITH THEIR FAITH. NORMALIZE RELIGIOUS HEAD/BODY COVERINGS. STOP CALLING HIS COVERT A CULT.

#just saw another post calling din’s covert a cult and i had to rage real bad #if you believe dins covert is a cult 😐 #star wars #the mandalorian #din djarin #y’all are so happy to call his covert a cult and want him to remove his helmet #but GOD FORBID yall tell hijabis that their religion is for terrorists and tell them to take off their hijab #astaghfirullah #oil.

Intellectually I understand where people are coming from, but personally I do THE biggest double take every time someone boils down conservative Christian ideology (and/or secularized cultural reflections thereof) to a kind of dour puritanism that proclaims happiness is sin/suffering is a moral good/everyone should be miserable all the time. Like I get it! I do. But also, institutionally, I have never met a group of more passionate worshippers and vicious defenders of their own comfort than evangelical Christians. There is a reason the common thread between my various weird triggers more or less boils down to "toxic positivity." There is a REASON my exvangelical tag is #walking away from omelas.

#one of my biggest problems with half-cooked critiques of christianity tbqh #and fundamentally it's just the flip side of the same coin #to liberal christians going 'well republicans aren't REAL christians bc they flout the teachings of their own holy text' #religions are socially as well as ideologically constructed! 'real' christianity is christianity as it is really practiced! #valid critique WITHIN the faith perhaps but not that meaningful (and in fact kind of willfully dense imo) take on christianity as a whole. #likewise trying to pin the evils of institutional christianity on some fatal underlying theological flaw is getting the issue backwards #in much the same way that treating race as a biological reality as opposed to a social construct is getting things backwards #empires do not rob and murder and enslave because they are racist. #they do those things out of naked self interest and invent racism to justify themselves and prop up their power. #walking away from omelas #my posts
