I was watching a video and it got me thinking about this. We all know the type. The Jewish friend who comes over every year to ask if you have any leftover Easter ham. The Buddhist who everyone will brag saved them in the war. The Bahai who adheres to reincarnation instead of Heaven. The other day, I met a Muslim walking his pet pig. A match made in Heaven.

What’s the biggest deviation from the norm you’ve seen in someone of a certain religion who otherwise would show they genuinely believe in it?

    Words directly spoken by Jesus are in red, most of the things Jesus said would be considered radically socialist by today’s “Christians”

        It’s not every bible that’s like that, but there are plenty of bibles that give you the option to have all Jesus spoken text appear in red, as a way to focus you on his “words”.

        If only they’d actually understand the words, then that’d be something.

          It’s not their fault; the conservative posts of Jesus’s message were edited out, like after the death of John the Baptist when Jesus turned a few fish and loaves of bread into food for thousands of means-tested citizens, excluding those who, through the work of the devil, had fallen into medical debt.
