15. Don't get your "eyeroll"
Wed Mar 11, 2015, 02:24 PM
Mar 2015

Every branch/twig of every major religion (whatever that means) has its own idiosyncrasies. Personally, I'd want to empathize the "idio" root in that word.

Some prefer shunning, others gossiping,

Some are into stoning, others into beheading.

Protestants (all 10,000 branches) don't worship the pope and don't know what the holly trinity is all about. Catholics (upper case C) don't really care about the papal stuff either but they are so invested in it that they figure out they might as well find out how the end game plays out.

Shiites, Sufis, Sunis - as GWB and his illiterate friends thought - were all the same, right? They'd get along once we purged their countries of everyone that wasn't xian.

Don't know much about Hindus and Sikhs and sects in India or elsewhere, except my BIL was a refugee from the murders between them and documented his life as a young man during the partition extensively (the Raj was, once again the demon).

I'm sure the people in Burma, Tibet understand your "eyeroll". Even as they are being massacred because they wear the wrong garments, perhaps tied in the wrong way.
