Christ-mas
My cousin has this daughter, one of four kids, and she’s twelve and has been essentially raised by her grandmother, my aunt. This aunt is heavy into the small-town protestant type of religion, and for the last month or so has been updating her statuses to emphasize her beliefs that are basically “happy holidays discriminates against Christmas”. This ideal has been imprinted on this daughter of my cousin, who constantly updates her status praising Jesus and emphatically describing how sad it makes her that some of her friends and family are going to burn in hell for all eternity for not believing in Jehovah-our-saviour.
Yeah.
Anyway, I was raised with a sort if generak religious education based around a WASP* lifestyle, which is to say technically protestant but mostly agnostic-humanist.
I updated a status saying how I believe “happy holidays” doesn’t discriminate against Christians, but includes them with people of all religions, cultures and belief systems, in a sort of mass well wishing for everyone in a multicultural secular society. Since then this ain’t and second cousin have been sending me messages with passages from the bible, and their “prayers for my soul’.
Bitch I didn’t ask for your prayers or your beliefs to be pushed on me, so back the fuck outta my grill yo. And for the record, Jesus would welcome and support immigrants and social programs like welfare, so stop propagating some dead Jewish carpenter for your own beliefs. Last point: Jesus would have been middle eastern, having lived in the middle east, and wouldn’t have owned a hair straightener.
