I want to say one more thing as a cis person who experimented with labels over the years, questioned my gender, and ended up as cis after all. The trans community did not “indoctrinate” me. I had always been asking these questions, even as a little kid before I knew trans people even existed. Over the years, trans women gave me the courage to explore the femininity I wasted my youth denying, trans men taught me that manhood is what you make of it and that nobody could tell me how to define it, and nonbinary people taught me just how limitless my possibilities were. The only parts of my upbringing that left me “confused” about gender were the conservatives who imposed a vision of gender that my friends and I could not relate to. And when I realized trans identity wasn’t something I could claim after all, the community loved me all the same. I am happier, and the world is more beautiful, because of trans people. The human impulse to create and survive isn’t going anywhere, and neither are trans people.

don’t get me wrong i have nothing against atheists. but the way a lot of white atheists treat christians of color, in addition to how they treat muslims and jewish people, and any non white person who believes in a higher power is astounding.
a lot of white atheists who were christian drop christainity but keep the same militant ‘my view of this is the right way’ type of thinking.
there is absolutely no difference between a white christian shitting on a muslim woman for wearing a hijab and a white atheists shitting on muslim people for believing in allah.
there is no difference between a white christain being racist and erasing the existence of non white christians, and a white atheist doing the same and completely forgetting that in a lot of places, especially america, black and native people are christian because of white atheists ancestors.
y’all need to take a step back because a lot of you still very much act like white christians
I was googling to try to find out why matzos are perforated (because I couldn’t remember why), and google auto-complete gave me “why is matzah pierced and striped?” when I got to “why is matzah p–”
So I shrugged and gave that a try.
I regret having done so:
FUCKING CHRISTIANS! Stop trying to shove Jesus into Judaism!
“just google it” see this? see this right here? four of these answers I can immediately spot as Christian plants and not real information about Judaism. I can, because I know enough about Judaism to spot them. Goyim who don’t know about Judaism can’t.
in case anyone doesn’t know how to spot them (this applies to any religious topic, not just these specific articles):
if it mentions jesus by name, it’s probably christian
if it uses a euphemism for jesus (ie “the one who was pierced for our sins”), it’s almost definitely christian (common euphemisms include a lamb, a shepherd, or a fisherman/“fisher of men”, these are all christian)
if it capitalizes “He” in reference to jesus, it’s 100% christian
if it refers to jesus as a savior or as saving/sacrificing himself for “us,” it’s 100% christian
as a former christian, jesus is only considered a savior and the son of god to christians. christians will try to make you think everyone believes this. don’t fall for it. learn the signs and avoid false information.
Some more red flags
-use of the term “Messianic” or heavy emphasis on a Messiah when not talking about a topic directly relating to a messiah. Messianic “Judaism” is a branch of Christianity founded on appropriating our imagery to convert us.
-”Yeshua” and “Messiah” paired together. This is another term for Jesus.
to christians, jesus is:
-the way
-the truth
-the light
-the entire point of jews existing in the first place.
to jews, jesus is:
-just some guy
-an interesting thought experiment
-not a real thing that actually ever happened
-my christian friend’s imaginary friend
-probably an ancient lunatic with a cult? there were a lot of cults at the time
-maybe several lunatics that got combined later on
-a guy who said some good stuff that would be really cool for christians to actually do, ever, at all
-a real pain in the collective neck
-not of any particular cosmic significance
-NOT god’s son because god doesn’t actually work like that, we checked
-not a pressing concern that we think about very often unless nearby christians start in on their whole thing (the genocide thing)
tl;dr: if you hear a jew saying that jesus christ is our “messiah” that’s actually a christian.
