White people will often say they are “spiritual” but not religious. Which usually means that they will believe any religion that doesn’t involve Jesus.
Popular choices include Buddhism, Hinduism, Kabbalah and, to a lesser extent, Scientology. A few even dip into Islam, but it’s much more rare since you have to give stuff up and actually go to Mosque.
Mostly they are into religion that fits really well into their homes or wardrobe and doesn’t require them to do very much.
Kabbalah involves Jesus since he was Jewish.
Christians are just a jewish sect.
But they, unlike white people, will not be bread out of existence.
Watch as the brown people of the world rise up.

And why should religion necessarily have to involve giving things up? Why should religion necessarily not fit into one’s daily life?
Customs and traditions and rituals should not be a burden – they should be a joy, and an integral part of one’s life, not something which creates conflict with the secular demands of everyday life.
White people like to sell out their heritage. Some sort of guilt endorphins are released if they can alienate their parents, relatives or friends by adopting a new belief system.
I would giving up organized religion for a new-age spirituality, social evolution. Religion is mythology that controls our believes if we let it. Jewish, Christian, Muslim… those are probably the three worst religions — but any* religion that says it is immoral for a woman to get an abortion, or for people to have sex for a purpose other than bearing children, or says that gay sex is wrong … well, that’s backwards and moronic.
We’re not living in the TIMES of Jesus. We have modern medicine, technology, birth control methods, more than enough people to fill the world! Oh and we have “Science” which explains stuff…
Yes, I know it’s good to be spiritual, but you don’t need a dogma to experience the elation of communing with a higher purpose (aka nirvana, passion, devinity… whatever you want to call it).
Correction:
First line should read “I would call giving up organized religion for new-age spirituality: Social Evolution.” (or perhaps “a type of social evolution”)
Damn it… I mean “beliefs” and “Islam” … I’m tired, please excuse all the typos! Thanks! Wish I could edit my posts after submitting.

Anonymous, you are NOT funny or clever. Those are tired stereotypes and many of your little jokes are flat out wrong. For instance, I haven’t seen a Mexican with a sombrero other than on television. Jewish people keeping money is so old and tired. Black people don’t sniff glue, white kids do. Also, there are way more white people on welfare than Black. See, the thing about comedy is that some of it has to have truth in order for it to be funny.
However, I would not call you a racist for making those jokes, just someone who is offended by this blog. It must hit home, huh?

I’m white and I’m an atheist. I know what you mean about white people and other religions besides your one true religion. They are trying to be cool by adopting religions that are just as ridiculous as the accepted religion. But I like Buddhism because it’s more of a philosophy, so while you may want to hang out with me for being cool enough to not consider myself spiritual, I will flog myself with Tibetan prayer beads for being lame enough to read about Buddhism.
[…] However, I think what this blog illustrates something a little more interesting, which is how much germane know-it-allness is to this brand of white culture. Those of us who smile at our familiarity with this blog’s critiques have probably been in one too many conversations where a white person bragged about going to the most preserved, un-corrupted-by-tourists part of a foreign country, or wrang their hands at the dearth of really authentic Mexican food in their locality, or talked about their marathon-training regimen. I’m always amazed at the need for some people to exhibit their pedantic knowledge on the most useless of things and then to be so sure they are right. For instance, those self-congratulatory people who are always saying how healthy they feel because they are training for a marathon have never entertained the idea that maybe what they think is good for them actually is not. In the whirlwind bytes of information that are hurled at us every day, people tend to seize on the ones that confirm what they desire to believe, so when a white person talks of something knowingly, I always have to question what underlies that certainty beside a sort of blind faith (similar to some forms of religious belief, which white people often criticize, unless–a nod to Stuff White People Like– it’s an Eastern religion). […]
this is so true it makes me wanna cry.
sick white people…
So are you saying there is something wrong with being spiritual without adhering to any specific religion? Because while full-on religion works for some people, it doesn’t work for everyone. I would call myself “spiritual,” and I’m not Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or any other religion. Of course my spirituality requires effort, mostly mental and emotional–it’s not there to correspond to my wardrobe or anything else, and if anyone considers their religion or spirituality to be an accessory, then of course they’re doing it wrong. I’ve never encountered any other white person who treats their spirituality this way, but maybe I just don’t fit your little stereotype. Or maybe this post shows that I’m some other kind of stereotype that you can make fun of because you hate everything white people do. I’m sorry you feel that spirituality has to be confined into a specific religion, but I think you have the wrong idea about some of us silly white people.
Also, I’d like to add that my spiritual beliefs really aren’t different than those of my parents. I was raised to believe that it doesn’t matter who or what you have faith in, it’s the fact that you have faith that matters. I’m sure that’s another stupid white people thing too.
Oh, Liz, you are missing the point…
He’s not writing about you.
Also, you’re mistaking “hatred” for something called “irony”…
…which, incidentally, is definitely something else white people like.
I’m a white atheist who likes Whiskeytown. Sober Ryan Adams is not as good.
Classic. Classic.
don’t forget Paganism and Atheism.
Yes, I’m labeling atheism a religion because it’s followers are as rabidly zealot as any bible-thumping Evangelical or southern Baptist.
All of these are horribly true. I’m gonna go rig an election and divorce my wife to make myself feel better.
I so agree with the statement, “they will believe any religion that doesn’t involve Jesus”. So many want to get on the I’m too cool to believe anything I was raised to believe bandwagon. HOWEVER, there are cases, like myself, who actually are spiritual, but aren’t religious; meaning all religions not just one’s not involving Jesus. I do not knock those who are religious and are deep in their faith. In fact, I more admire someone who sticks to what they say they believe than those who are hypocrites.
Love the blog by the way.
ugh. guilty. but to be fair, actually this is less a white thing, than a growing up gay in an Xtian church that either doesn’t accept you or finally got around to accepting you about 2000 years too late.

Do you delete all of the posts by people who get the joke?
Also I love how white people who claim to be athiest, baptise or brit milah their children. They obviously don’t ‘not believe’ that strongly.
I’m glad to see someone mentioned Paganism- of course, my Mom is a Wiccan too, so perhaps I’m not really white.
Of course, it’s possible that both of our choices are driven by Wicca/Neo-Paganism’s claims to be especially #49 Vintage.
It is true. Islam involves Jesus though, might be another reason for them to avoid it. It looks in a way like rebelling and espcaping some sort of guilt since nobody ever badmouths Buddha.
Kabbalah is not a religion, it’s a system of principles. It doesn’t even have to be spiritual, it can simply be a way of life. Funny post though.
Stuff black people like:
Religions where you are allowed to scream and jump up and down and subsequently faint.
You forgot Unitarian-Universalism. Every UU I know is at least proficient at self loathing.
I’m atheist myself. It was an intellectual decision.
@ flutterfli007, why would I baptise a child if I’m not a member of any church and actively try to rid the world of religious dogma?
Ha! Best one yet! And so, so true. (says former convert to Islam)
Buddhism requires you to give more things up than christianity.
I love people who talk about religion like they know things.
The follow-up to this one has to be atheism. White people love atheism.
Hahahhaha. You don’t really HAVE to go to the mosque in Islam, most definitely not if you’re a woman, and once a day on Fridays will cut it if you’re a man 🙂 This site is too funny.
again with the generalization. every teen, regardless of race, goes through a rebellious period. IF that means they leave their faith then so be it. who cares? how many blacks are still southern baptist or even further back, follow their african faiths? how many now follow the muslim faith? the faith of the FIRST PEOPLE WHO ENSLAVED YOU. just so you know.
im not sure what religion my parents are/were – some flavor of christian, but dont know for sure which
but i also do not like other religions much either
“White people will often say they are “spiritual” but not religious. Which usually means that they will believe any religion that doesn’t involve Jesus.”
No, it means they will believe any religion that doesn’t involve: James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Ted Haggard, The Pope, Paedophile Priests, Becky Fischer (“Jesus Camp”), Concerned “Women” for AMerica, etc., etc…

A generation ago, this would have been funny.
White people do love Atheism. My favorites are the ones that are very outspoken as atheist, but they still exchange gifts with people at Christmas as well as join others for Easter dinner without being able to come up with any logical explanation as to why.
Mixie@48
That’s because both holidays were stolen from the pagans. The early christians just piggy backed their holidays on winter solstice and spring equinox.
You don’t have to believe in Jebus to celebrate family and friends.
Besides, was the Easter Rabbit hanging around Golgotha?
@ #48 (“Mixie”) “My favorites are the ones that are very outspoken as atheist, but they still exchange gifts with people at Christmas as well as join others for Easter dinner without being able to come up with any logical explanation as to why.”
Please. They’d get crap for “boycotting” if they didn’t play nice and show up at their parents’ behest. I’m not athiest but I’m no longer Catholic and I even GO TO THE MASSES with them just to keep the peace (but not up to communion).
Mixie, I am very much an atheist, but I also enjoy celebrating Christmas with my family. The holiday doesn’t carry any spiritual or religious significance with me, but rather, it gives me an arbitrary excuse to take a day off and hang out with my family, not to mention the giving and receiving of gifts. I am not being inconsistent when I say that although I do not believe in God or Jesus, I still enjoy celebrating Christmas. December 25th is just a day, like any other, and I’ve decided to celebrate with friends and family on that day. It isn’t as though I proclaim love and devotion to Jesus or anything.
I guess I’m not white anymore. I’m becomming more and more Catholic by the day. Actually, I think this site should be called “Stuff White Liberals Like”. But there are all these white conservatives out there and we want a sardonic blog about us too! Please don’t forget about us.
[…] #2 Religions that their parents don’t belong to […]
LMAO..
It should also be noted that many white people will disdain religion… EXCEPT so-called ‘Eastern’ religions.. which, because White people will never bother to actually read up on, they will assume are basically ‘spiritual’ copies of their white value systems. They will simultaneously express an amateur following of Shinto, Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism… and will actually believe that Hinduism is a polytheist religion based upon worshipping elephants.
Buddhism is a special favourite of such white people, who will maintain the same life of opulence but will occasionally spend money on books about Buddhism, or take the opportunity to buy various ‘Eastern’ statues for their houses.. it is irrelevant which religion these statues are from, as long as they look foreign.
Conversion to Islam is usually tied up with those referred to in the hating parents category.. be they hippies or strict Christians, either one fills the Masjid with beard toting twenty some things. Note that these conversions usually falter upon the realisation that the Qu’ran is in Arabic.
‘how many now follow the muslim faith? the faith of the FIRST PEOPLE WHO ENSLAVED YOU. just so you know.’
Might want to check this one brother. I’m pretty sure that African slaves have been around for quite a long time before 622 CE.. and if by ‘the first people who enslaved you’ you mean the Arabs, I think you’ll find that slavery existed not only within the continent of Africa long before those Semitic peoples you call Arabs lived in the Middle East, but also was present in most Ancient Empires, not least of which Egypt… Egypt who was not made up of Arabs.
The first non-Arab convert to Islam was a black freed slave.
Thom, why would I baptise a child if I’m not a member of any church?
Perhaps so I won’t have to listen to the complaints of a very opinionated Mother-in law?
It’s not okay to be part of any religion, because, being part of any religion you’re automatically discriminating by saying that your religion is the “right religion.” If you try to break that by saying you accept all religions, then, you’re not a member of your own religion.
Repeat after me, people: THIS IS A HUMOR / SATIRE BLOG. THIS IS HUMOR.
Serious comments about religion, Christianity, Islam, blah, blah, indicate that the writers of said comments ought to migrate to a different blog, where such thoughts will be give their due deference. May I suggest Facebook?

#1: I think I’m supposed to laugh maniacally now. We aren’t rising. We have risen. The 20th century belonged to the whites. The 21st belongs to the Middle East, and we’ve positioned ourselves very well to take advantage.
Also, studying Kabalah is technically illegal under Jewish law unless you’re 40 years old, male, Jewish and married with children. Sorry white people, you just don’t have the Jewish genes… or the values necessary to actually maintain a marriage until age 40.
yr blog is funny, but people’s comments are even funnier! deadpan is the way to be everybody!
I’ve always *hated* it when white people said “I’m spiritual, not religious.” Then I realized why: as usual, white people are afraid to say the final truth: there are no gods. All religions are false, even the crazy/charming/foreign ones. Just because they’re not on TV screaming at you to repent doesn’t mean they’re on to something.
But what do I know, I majored in Religion in college, heavy on the Eastern ones. And minored in Film. But all that was a long, long time ago.
I converted to Islam and it involves Jesus. Jesus (pbuh) is just as important to Muslims as Mohamed (pbuh). I also changed the way I dress and live – I no longer drink, I go to the mosque, I wear hijab. Also – my parents are absolutely fine with it.
this blog is the ultimate bestest thing ever! love it.
oh, and jesus saves 😉
Clearly, the anti-Jesus position of upper-middle class whites is tied to their concern for authenticity, as was deliciously elaborated upon in the post on “being the only white person” (in an ethnic restaurant). Unlike the “pure” and “natural” religions of East Asia, Christianity has been in a 2 millenia-long mutually corrupting relationship with empire, racism, economic exploitation, and science. White people know that authentic religion can only be found amongst the world’s more primitive civilizations (a la Emile Durkheim, who they read in an undergrad sociology course). By embracing the superficial vestiges of that culture and religion they can escape the brutish brainwashing of Western culture and return to a state of anxiety-free bliss. Such a natural state of being is best enacted while eating organic food and enjoying the hand-carved West African masks on your wall =)
What really sticks in my craw more than anything else is white people taking an Eastern religion, lining up its precepts with the platform of the Democratic/Green Party, then claiming to follow it. Usually what they “follow” bears little resemblance to the actual religion. I laugh, though, at white liberals who take up Islam, and practice it in its very conservative form.
White people love saying “Jebus” in place of Jesus, and patting themselves on the back for their “rebelliousness” and “non-conformity.”
I love how everyone gets so offended by this blog. Doesn’t anyone know how to laugh at themselves?
this blog is exhausting, but really just lists several arbitrary things about american life that–because american is primarily white–becomes “what white people like.” It doesn’t even make a lot of sense… white people like atheism? you must not be from kansas or texas. lol if you knew what you were talking about you would know that NOBODY likes atheism and nobody likes Christians and nobody likes jews and nobody likes black people. In fact nobody really gives a whistle (hehe… i’ve honestly never said that before–but maybe white people love saying “who gives a whistle?”) about anyone else…
hmmm…
*yawn*
This is a good one!
i know the intention of these posts are to mock upper middle class white people whose consumptive patterns are often exclusionary and meant to indicate distinction and taste…this goes for the now popular mode of spiritual life for this class–the seeker.
however, i think the author should acknowledge that all of these categories really only apply to a limited segment of the white population. in framing these posts as “stuff white people like” the author is, intentionally or not, establishing that behavior as normative for all white people, and all other behavior as somehow deviant. the author should include some posts mocking lower class white behavior also to pay tribute to the wide range of cultural practices of “white” people in america.
on a side note to “jonathan hussain”:
durkheim didn’t claim the aboriginal religions he studied were more authentic in a valuative sense, he claimed they were more amenable to his study because they were more similar to ancient forms of religion that were uncorrupted by the modernizing forces of urbanization and industrialization. his intention was to gain an understanding of the most fundamental constituent parts of religious life for all peoples; hence, the name of that work “the elementary forms of religious life.” of course, one could attack him on the evolutionary grounds of his reasoning but his scientific analysis of religion should not be compared to the modern pursuit for meaning that many middle class urbanites are engaged in. to do that is to divorce action and thought from social context.
for purposes of full disclosure:
i am a white sociology grad student (#81) who is trying to make myself sound smarter than other people (many of the posts), and i have lived in japan and europe, so am clearly more authentic than any of you.
#72, offended white person — but then it wouldn’t be funny. And this blog is supposed to be funny. It’s the raison-d’etre.
I know this is all ignorant generalizing and thats what makes it funny and ironic but tt doesnt mean that they want a religion that doesnt involve Jesus. Many times it means that they don’t want to be a part of organized religion, period. Also… Um…. Islam does involve the Jesus. Buddhists have taken to Jesus as well. I think this would all be funny if I was a self righteous uninformed, uneducated person. Since I am not I only look at this as strange and in desperate need of information.
This was hilarious. Just the other day I over heard someone talk about how they were considering becoming Agnostic, and I replied:
“Yea, well that seems to be the tread now adays. Can’t join any one club just stay in the middle.”
I’m a christian, and trust me, it’s more than white people that are like that.
Oh SNAP!!! You totally got me on this one. Guess we do it to. I didn’t wnat to be a Muslim ever, well except when the wife gives me crap then I just want to take a sword and! Never mind… Being a Christain is cool. Unless you are Huckabee, what a tool. Condecending prick. Maybe when I get to the whitehouse I will convert just to freak out the folks in the burbs. That would be change…. CHANGE
Good stuff. Jonathan Hussein, I’m *not* going to take your post at face value and consequently snicker appreciatively. offended, you are the sterotype upon which this blog is based.
And as far as the whole “other religions invoke Jesus too” debate, the point was to say that other “religions” like Buddhism make little to no requirement on one’s behavior and/or morals. Like that one post said, it’s more of a philosophy. You can take it or leave it. Whereas Christianity is a faith, a relationship, and very exclusive at that. Inclusive in that anyone can join, exclusive in that it teaches that it’s the only way. And that’s fundamentally what liberals/postmodernists/”white people” (as this blog labels them) regect it. “You’re free to live that way, but I’ll do it *my* way, thanks.”
(replying to a very old post) ironically christianity will continue on because of brown people. south america and africa are the biggest converting grounds for catholicism

#72 – Just curious: is the caps button on your computer not working?
Offended white person, if that is your real name, I think it would be constructive to discuss this issue further. While you’re correct in pointing out that this blog mocks upper-middle class, left-leaning, urban whites, the ultimate target of the seems to be the practice of racial stereotyping.
While most white Americans are accustomed to and comfortable with homogenizing non-white groups, they only experience such stereotyping on an infrequent and superficial basis (e.g. , “white people can’t dance/jump”, “white people are very polite”, etc.). When it comes to non-white groups, Americans of all races unwittingly conflate socioeconomic qualities with racial identity. Example: most stereotypes of black persons are actually stereotypes of lower-class blacks. By conflating “whiteness” with the values of a specific class of white people (and in such a ridiculously simplistic way), I think this blog points out the weaknesses of racial stereotypes as tools for understanding individual tastes.
This entry on religion is a great example. Most Americans are white Christians, so why is the blog claiming that “white people” like any religion that doesn’t involve Jesus? I suggest the author is making his/her point through hyperbole. Any cache that this stereotype holds (which it obviously does since some people have gotten very offended) is a result of the popular conflation of white identity and class, political values, geographic region, etc.
A sociological aside to “offended white person”: Ok, Durkheim attempted to devise a value-free genetic morphology of religion in the EFRL, but as you’ve recognized, an evolutionary account of human institutions will almost certainly be taken as valuative. My point is that a stereotypical (college-educated, left-leaning, guilt-ridden) white person in search of identity can easily appropriate such work to sanctify their belief that the less “corrupted” religions of the Far East allow humans to live in a more natural state. If you divorce the functionalist characterization of religion from Durkheim’s genetic history and combine that with the myth of civilization’s decay from a golden age (popular in Judeo-Christian theology and Platonic philosophy), then it’s easy to reach that conclusion. If you’d like to discuss the issue further, please write me at jonathan.hussain@gmail.com.
No one likes you.
Most of you people must not get the joke. That is the ultimate white upper middle class stereotype. Castigating their Christian heritage in order to appear cool to their friends then doing a 10 minute google search in order to find a suitable replacement, preferrably the most obscure sounding. Scientology is old hat now so people need the latest fad to believe in so as to appear cool to their friends.
People that want to believe in something besides christianity should base it on something other than who was made fun of most in high school.
Everyone needs a fad to believe in, global warming, Darfur relief, Britney Spears.
Christianity will always be there and when your older than 30 and you have kids and don’t see your friends much anymore because you have a family and all your time is spent with your kids, thats when Christianity creeps back into your life because you realize that all that other stuff was just a fad and not wanting to be made fun by your friends. Doesn’t matter what you think of a bunch of loud mouth Evangelists who just want their name in the paper. You’ll eventually return because of how you were raised. Even if you don’t you will instill the values of the faith into your kids.
By the way, your not a homophobe for disagreeing with a gay lifestyle.Ask yourself this question, do you want your kids to grow up to be gay? I’m not asking whether you would still love them even if they were, of course you would. I’m asking if given your choice, would you want them to be? If your answer is I don’t want my kids to be gay, then you disagree with the gay lifestyle. Doesn’t mean you hate gays.
Wow. It is just beautiful that people post comments that prove the need for the satire.
I tried Buddhism, Hinduism etc but when I wasn’t getting the anticipated response I went all out and converted to atheism. This has proved to be very satisfactory as I can now act disdainful of most of my white friends beliefs. I particularly like smiling lovingly and patiently at them when they describe some sort of ceremony, ritual, invocation in which they participate and telling them how lovely I think it is but unfortunately as I am atheist it wouldn’t work for me… this then gives me the opportunity to talk about my minor in eastern religions (all of 6/7 classes) and act worldly, wise and mysterious.
As a Northern European (Irish, Welsh, and German decent), I found that Christianity doesn’t speak to my soul, and isn’t really my heritage, and have taken up Imbas and Asatru, the polytheistic religions of my Celtic and Germanic ancestors. THAT is my heritage, not Christianity, Islam or Judaism…
I love it when people either get offended by this blog or pretend to be hurt by it.
They’re all most likely white. We love to be offended by racial stereotypes, either if they don’t pertain to us.
Heeheeheehee! I love this site. I am a white woman and I think this site is very funny but not near as funny as the posts. Please keep getting offended and making stupid posts to amuse me. Heeheeheehee!
Hey J. Doe I think we were thinking the same thing at the same time…WOW..lol
Great white minds think alike..heehee
You people are stupid
And this is a stupid list and of course, as a white person, you can’t get offended by it because if you do then you’re an oversensitive pussy. But if there was a list of just black stereotypes then its obviously racist and whoever put it up must be a member of the KKK.
Seriously tho as a white person it’s not that i’m offended by the things on the list i couldn’t care less. it’s the fact that its ok to make a list of 100 white people stereotypes and post it on the internet and everyones laughing and having a good time. but if someone put a list of only black stereotypes on here all hell would break loose. That is what makes me angry. haha
I am a white person (technically, I am so white I am see through but that is neither here nor there) and I find that I love being an atheist.
Not only does that help cut down on my holiday budget but Sunday’s are saved for pancakes, newspaper and sex.
Gotta love it.
You’re an athetist capitalist, Mary? You must be one of the 3.
Go Deepak Chopra & Neale Donald Walsh!
I especially love Conversation with God’s “Parable of the Little Soul.”
And the Little Soul said, “Father, why have you forsaken me?”
And then he went wee wee wee all the way home…
Every single white person I know excluding 3, are strict about religion when it comes to carrying on their family traditions. Now hippies are the people you must be talking to and hanging out with. In that case name the site appopriately, things poor pothead white kids like.
This list seems more like its all stuff that other races don’t like…and to me that is racist!

Just tell another white person (that is a college educated democrat who drinks chai lattes and reads literature and watches indie films), that you are an orthodox Christian and they immediately shave several points off both your IQ and coolness quotient. Jesus loses his temper, changes moods rapidly, plays favorites, has no respect for authority, displays boundless arrogance-all very human traits. How white is that? I find all this leaning toward eastern philosophy a bit pretentious.
After white folks go extinct, lets make this website into a book, and teach it as “white” history to our children.
[…] Well, let’s just see what #2 is. […]
I’m white and I forgone my Catholic background..but I’m also late 30’s with a wife and I still don’t believe in Jesus. I don’t have anything to rebel against so what does that make me?
And with this new neo-athetism movement going on people are all hung up on “there are as fundamentall..blah, blah” crap. I can see there point especially with Richard Dawkins but really it all just comes back to personal religion.
So, it looks like I lose no matter what. Oh well..
BTW, love the site. I can see so many posts in my friends an I it’s scary.
Go with the polemic. I’ll be reading it until you stop 🙂
Another thing white people like…people who can spell and know proper grammar. Bread? I think it’s “bred.” Next time you feel intellectual, consult your dictionary.
Sufi Islam is the real white person religion. It originated in Central Asia as a more mystical/spiritual and less dogmatic version of Islam.
This means that American white people can a)talk like they’ve been all over the holy land b)not have to do anything other than think about things in a mystical (see: gypsy-ish) way, and c)talk about the plight of the Kashmiris or the Uzbeks (which makes them feel good for raising awareness and being socially responsible).
I’m a white person who loves Jesus Christ… my parents raised me right.
i must say that a lot of us honkeys distance ourselves from religions containing the concept of jesus because of the nut job right wingers blowing up countries and flogging homosexuals in his name. at least some of us are trying to find a space inside to believe there is still good in the world. jesus was a down homeboy i’m sure, he’d cry if he saw what we do in his honor….
I just told my parents I’m an atheist last month, after going to a christian school and forced to go to church for 16 years.
…i actually tried buddhism, but it’s boring
All white people will be secular soon.
Aron #108 “All white people will be secular soon”
I think all white people will die from depression and be extinct very soon.
Christianity is spreading in Asia and Africa. And these countries are sending missionaries into Europe and Canada… so its just a new cycle.
I am an agnostic, but I love the teachings of Christ… and he is my number one role model… and hence I would categorize myself one form of Christian.
I don’t believe in Santa or Jesus and my parents did. But it has nothing to do with rebellion; it’s just an obvious myth to me.
This is especially funny to me because I was raised agnostic… and as an adult became a Christian. Does that count as irony fr our purposes here?
LOL @ So many people posting to defend their version of spirituality and confirming the stereotype. As far as the people who don’t understand why you should have to give something up for a religion let me ask you something, why say that you are “insert rare eastern religion here” and not adhere to it’s values? Because honestly, it just seems like white people have to pan for attention wherever they can get it.
I don’t believe any of this is true…sorry!
I think this is so true, white females are especially into the whole spirituality without a religion bullshit. The excuse to do whatever and not be guilty because it tramples religious values. Also the few that don’t denounce Christianity will look for the smallest argument that will result in them claiming that God is female
We will win. Islam is the key to life.
I will expect you to to listen, you whites better listen or I’ll have my camels poke you from behind. [ever camel hump?]
Yes, it seems like religion in someways has become an acessary that you show off to all your friends.
People, this blog is not passing judgment on “white” people(read: young, liberal, urban, educated, person of European descent living in America). This is more of a tongue in cheek ethnography of these persons habits and values.
There is nothing wrong with changing ones religion.
Clearly, one can make a list about any group of young, liberal, urban, educated, person of (insert continent here) descent living in America.
This is pretty ridiculous whoever wrote this obviously doesnt know anything about these religions at all or assumes white people dont, like they could only have a connection with a christian religion cause thats the only thing that could make sense! and if you practicing buddism or hinduism is easier than christianity then you have obviously never practiced either of them i cant speak for kabbalah, or scientology or any other religion for that matter but it sound like this person is saying that one is better than the other just cause it is your parents religion what if your parents worship satan is that still acceptable just curious. i dont think my religion is any better than anyone elses because its not and they are all mostly the same in that they all just want people to be more loving to all other beings. whether they use the ten commandments or the eightfold noble path. whatever connects to you is what really matters
It just cracks me up whenever some white guy come up to me and say “I’m a Buddhist, I only buy organic food from Whole Food”.
Hahahahahaha! This was a long time coming.
I hear you barbarella; however, I wish we could find a middle ground between that and the “come as you are” fallacy pushers who want to belong to a religion, but openly flout its moral code or think they are entitled not to endure any incovenience because of it. Instead, they think it will force everyone else to conform to them. (Yes, we’re all sinners, but hopefully we at least aspire not to be rather than digging in our heels.) Seems like wasted energy to me.
Jesus asked a rich man to give up his possessions and follow him. The man realized he couldn’t and left, crestfallen. Jesus didn’t stop him and say, “Wait, I was just kidding. I’m all for inclusiveness.”
I was raised Catholic until I was 17. Now I’m Jewish. My father’s father was Jewish, but Dad’s a strong Catholic, and therefore I consider my father to be a sellout and I am secretly ashamed of him for failing to claim his own Jewishness, thereby witholding part of my own blood’s legacy from me.
I think that Roman Catholicism as it stands today, and as it’s practiced by most white Catholics, is poison. To me, the only acceptable Catholicism is that which is practiced by many Latin American cultures, and includes a bit of sincretism and liberation theology.
I hated Christmas for 17 years. This was the first year I wasn’t forced to participate in some observance of it, and eating Chinese food and watching Once on DVD with Jewish retirees on December 25th was like flying.
I find it humiliating that my educated, politically liberal parents went to confession (a.k.a. reconciliation) last week, to “prepare for Easter.”
And I secretly get a sense of satisfaction from the knowledge that, had my family been alive during the Third Reich, I would have been taken because I’m so undeniably Semitic-looking, despite my baptism record that probably still exists somewhere, and despite my parents’ attempts to Christianize me by force.
This is so right…us whities love to be mad at our parents. It all started with those damn baby boomers. Blame your parents for everything and all things that are European or exotic religions are correct. And your Catholic school upbring was a monumental waste of time.
And I say, fuck that!
This article is true. Just look at Black Metal.

Third Eye ftw.
While I have no problem with Jesus’s religious mind and actions, I have a lot of problems with the religions about Jesus. I am quite fond of “The Gospel of Thomas” in particular.
This happens because Christianity does not pass the test of logic and sense.
Imagine god condemning people forever to hell. That does’t fit the description of a loving personality.

Who says he’s loving? He’s capricious and vindictive and you’d better watch your ass or burn in Hell. Forever.
Atheism. White people love to call themselves atheists. I think it has something to do with not wanting to offend chimps…and white guilt.

Peace-loving Muslims By Walter E. Williams
All of us should give some serious thought to some of the ideas contained in an article circulating the blogsphere titled “Why a Peaceful Majority is Irrelevant.” So often our political leaders, “experts” and talking heads tell us that Islam is a peaceful religion and most Muslims are not out to destroy the West. We’re told it’s only that 1 percent, out of 1.2 billion Muslims, who are fanatical jihadists who believe America is the Great Satan, cause of all evil, and should be attacked and destroyed. In terms of national policy, it’s irrelevant whether Islam is a peaceful religion and most Muslims are peaceful.
Think back to the 1930s when the Japanese murdered an estimated 3 million to 10 million people in China, Indonesia, Korea, Philippines and Indochina; and on December 7, 1941 when they attacked Pearl Harbor, killing over 2,400 Americans. I’m betting that most of Japan’s at-the-time 60 million population were peace-loving people and would have wanted nothing to do with the brutal slaughter in China and the attack on the U.S. In formulating our response to the attack, should President Roosevelt have taken into account the fact that most Japanese are peace-loving people ruled by fanatics? Should our military have only gone after the Japanese pilots and their naval armada? I’d also wager that most Germans were peace-loving people and not part of the Nazi sadists wanting to wage war on their neighbors and exterminate the Jews. Again, should Roosevelt and Churchill have taken that into account in their response to German militarism? My answer is no and thank God it was their answer as well. Whether most Germans, Italians or Japanese were peace-loving or not was entirely irrelevant in formulating the Allied response to their militarism.
Horrible acts can be committed in countries where most of the people are peace-loving and simply want to be left alone to attend to their affairs. I imagine that described most of the people in the former Soviet Union; however, that did not stop the killing of an estimated 62 million people between 1917 and 1987. The same can be said of the Chinese people, but it didn’t stop the killing of 35 million of their countrymen during Mao Zedong’s reign. Whether most people of a country are peace-loving or not is not nearly as important as who’s calling the shots.
At this particular time, fanatical jihadists are calling the terrorism shots in many Muslim countries. Their success in committing terrorist acts is in no small part the result of the actions by the millions of peace-loving fellow Muslims. First, there is not enough condemnation of their terrorist acts by the Muslim community. More important is the direct or indirect assistance terrorists receive through the silence of their fellow Muslims. There is no way terrorists can carry on their operations, obtain explosive materials, run terrorist training camps, raise money without the knowledge of other Muslims, whether they’re government officials, bankers, family members, friends or neighbors. Because those millions of peace-loving Muslims do not speak out and expose terrorists and don’t more fully cooperate with domestic and international authorities trying to stop terrorists, they become enemies of the West just as the peace-loving people in Germany, Italy and Japan became enemies of the Allied powers during World War II. Like them, Muslims should be prepared to suffer the full might of the West in its efforts to fight terrorism. I’m hoping that the millions of peaceful Muslims take the proper action to avoid such an outcome. I’m not that optimistic. We’re involved in a clash with a culture that has little regard for the Western values that hold the sanctity of human life and liberty dear.

ps thanks cj i was actually gonna say the same thing before i read your post lol

“Mostly they are into religion that fits really well into their homes or wardrobe and doesn’t require them to do very much.”
Not to make a pun on my name, but that is gold (meaning great in Australia).
Ha ha ha, this is so true! Being a Buddhist, a religious Buddhist, I love all the Buddhists I meet who are interested only in meditation and having Buddha statues in their house. They tell me “Oh Buddhism’s just a philosophy” or some other silliness.
When subjects like the Moral Precepts come up, they sort of get glassy eyed, or make excuses. ha ha ha

Who exactly is this “Jesus” person I keep hearing about?
I kid. My (lack of) religious background is kinda weird. My parents were both raised Lutheran, I believe. By the time they had us kids, they had become, as some people would say, “godless heathens.” I was perfectly happy not to rebel against this (except for that brief stint in high school when I tried to baptize myself). Growing up, most of my friends and neighbors were Jewish. I wasn’t until I hit college that I started meeting people who were really hard-core Christians, and I was like “WHOA.” It really caught me off guard. I honestly had no idea that this Jesus fellow had such a large following…
Incredibly lucky are those of you who were born into a community that practices the “one true faith”, whichever one that happens to be. I think it is ridiculous to believe something simply because it is the accepted belief of your family or region. With over 6 billion people on Earth, the only thing we likely have in common is that most our beliefs are either misguided or completely incorrect. We should all unite in this fact. We can all be right if we admit that we’re most likely wrong.
Only a white person would say that.

Christianity doesn’t say that having sex for a purpose other than bearing children is wrong- have you ever read song of solomon? they just prefer you keep it in marriage. some denominations are freakish and say that sex for any purpose other than to concieve is wrong, but they’re idiots- most people would tell you that sex was created by God for humans to enjoy, they just have the caveat of it being inside marriage. however, the Bible also says not to judge others. it’s a big circle- just one of the reasons many people can’t stand christians.

I was raised a Methodist but now consider myself Agnostic. I think the christian religion is a bunch of fantasy based silliness. However, out of respect for my 82 year old father who is a very religious Methodist, I keep my Agnostic views and opinions on christianity to myself when I am with him. Also, I don’t hate my dad but I have to admit I did not have a very good relationship with my mom the last 15 years she was alive. Part of the problem there was her trying to force her religious views on me (which only completed my conversion to being Agnostic).

Kabbalah does not involve Jesus. Kabbalah is technically a Jewish sect. In Judaism Jesus is believed to have existed and been a Jew, but he is not viewed to be the son of God. Therefore Jesus is essentially uninvolved with Judaism (and therefore Kabbalah). Christianity began with the belief that Jesus was the son of God. As such it did technically start as a sect of Judaism. However in the Christian view God changed after the death of Jesus. He went from being the vengeful God of the Old Testament to being a more caring God (as a result of Jesus’ influence). Jews view of God is more along the lines of the Old Testament God, so you really can’t call one religion a sect fo another when they have 2 differing views of the nature of God. Would you call Islam a Jewish or Christian sect?
First, this post is hysterical. I’ve never been sure what spiritual means, but it usually involves avoiding religion.
Second, half the people commenting here need to lighten up.
LOL! Yes, white people are the only ones who think it is racist to be proud of your heritage!
Umm… What Christianity is this? Not any I’ve heard of. Catholics (via Aquinas) generally hold that God cannot change in any way. Most Evangelicals will tell you that the “vengeful” God always gave people/nations plenty of time to repent (sometimes centuries) after sending a few dozen prophets to tell them to change. They’ll say He still does that (which is why there’s Revelation at the end of all the “caring” stuff). And every practicing Jew I know thinks God is a pretty nice guy, just confusing at times.
All religions claim to offer a better way of life. To get there it only makes sense that you’d have to give up or change something fairly significant. Otherwise, you must be a pretty damn terrific person with a clear, wise view of the whole of reality. If the latter’s the case, write a book so we can all worship you, and change our lives to be more like yours.
Traditions and rites are a joy because they remind us that we’re only sacrificing things that ultimately hold us back, that we are becoming better by *changing* our lives.
I pooped my pants
that is the greatest comment ever!
I hate your stupid blog it sucks and your lame
You said it.
LOL LET ME FUCK YOU
But, will they be “bred” out of existence, since it doesn’t involve flour–wheat or white, rye or whole grain?
Aquinas’ approach regarding the nature of God was a way of reconciling the God of the Old Testament with the God fo the New Testament. It was similar to how the Old Testament teachings involving sacrifice to God were reinterpreted in the New Testament to merely have been prophecies of the coming of Jesus and his sacrifice. It was a way for the Christians to separate themselves and their teachings from Judaism. Furthermore, any critical reading of the Torah and the Bible will give you two different versions of God. In the Torah and the Old Testament God punishes mankind for their sins, whereas in teh New Testament he allows his son to sacrifice himself to absolve mankind of their sins. Thus the change in God’s nature from that of a more vengeful God to that of a more compassionate God.
I love this post. I cannot begin to to explain how it feels when some christian/white/atheist is like “so u guys have HAW-NAW-KAH right?” and thinks they are so “sensitive” because they know about one holiday in our year….

You can’t say that the God of the so-called Old Testament is cruel and uncaring when the collection includes the books of the prophets and the laws concerning Jubilee. Yes, the prophets are known for announcing doom and gloom, but they just as often and just as vividly called for social justice, mercy, and compassion because *it was what God wanted.* On top of that, Israel’s entire society was supposed to be periodically punctuated by the erasing of all debts, the releasing of all debtors, and the return of all sold or traded property back to original ownership.
Anyone who has done a “critical reading” of the Old Testament and walks away with the impression that it is wildly divergent in values from what Christians proclaim didn’t actually read the Old Testament, but instead glazed over the considerable amount of material that contradicted their expectations.
I am Caucasian…

The existence of all of the replies to this topic completely support what the author is attempting to prove.

Also, theres nothing wrong with following a spirituality that differs from that which you were brought up to follow. Tradition is great, but so is change.
Thats all.
peace..
a lot of people who claim to be spiritual but not religious, tend to form their sense of spirituality based on bits and pieces of other religions/schools of thought. So the mass gathering of lots of different “religious shit” (or i might call them religious rhetorical artifacts) by an individual is often simply an attempt to form a sense of spirituality that functions outside of a typical institutionalized religion. I’m not advocating this by any means… Just trying to shed some light. It’s a growing trend, especially among (surprise, surprise) white, middle class, young people. And among that demographic, there is a slight majority that are male. But I’m getting into a whole different topic there. Anyway… just a thought.
White people really like having intense debates about religion.
I wish this was really true, because if it was, there would have been no way that Bush would have a been re-elected for a second term.

I hope not “bread out of existence”. I can’t give up my carbs!
White people also really like Unitarian Universalism, because it is a religion where you do not need to believe in god, and can be really liberal and talk about being liberal. I should know, I am a UU.

That’s bull!
Religions always change to reflect the level of civilization of the people practicing.
In early Christianity, people were more war-like and civilization hadn’t come as far, so God was war-like and vengeful. However, as the culture evolved and people became more educated and less likely to go and burn down the neighboring village, a vengeful God was no longer well suited to the people who worshiped him.
Therefore, with the creation of the holy trinity God was able to become softer, more approachable if you will.
If you are white and decide to stay a christian, it is required that you be in the “Emergent Church”
and they might not be “bred” out of existence, either.

I was raised Catholic and still consider myself to be a Catholic although I don’t attend church much. I don’t think I would actually bother to convert to another religion. I don’t really like organized religion much. Only go to church when someone in the family dies or gets married. This whole website is stereotypical, maybe it describes “liberal whites”. I don’t agree with most of this website.
In Genesis God is represented as both vengeful and forgiving. It really depends on the author as to which God is represented.

Dear WHITE PEOPLE I am watching you and your troubling experiences with religion. I shall lay it forth and make the truth plain for all http://aniggaincyberspace.com/2008/04/09/are-church-women-all-freaks/
Never did I say that the entire Old Testament was about an angry and vengeful God. Nor did I say there was a change in values between Old and New Testament (although if you read both separately you can see that there were some changes, but the writers of the New Testament decided to re-interpret the words of the Old Testament to match with their beliefs and there is also the issue of Mosaic law which is laid out in the Old Testament, but Christians do not explicitly follow). The tone of the stories and God in the Old Testament are darker, more violent, and more vengeful than the New Testament. Str4y has it right in that the change most likely came about due to the nature of society at the times they were each written. The stories in the Old Testament are more violent and God is more vengeful due to the world of the Old Testament. There was no great empire keeping the peace. Instead there were smaller kingdoms all fighting for supremacy. The Jews were slaves in Egypt, built a great kingdom only to have it destroyed by the Assyrians, returned to prominence, and were then taken over by the Roman Empire. Thus the stories from the Old Testament are more violent and turbulent as is the God of the Old Testament (Cain & Abel, The Flood, Sodom & Gomorrah, etc). The writers of the New Testament live in a more peaceful time (Pax Romana). While there were Jewish revolts, most notably in 66CE, the writers of the New Testament had no desire to anger the Romans (and historically much of the New Testament was written when Christians were first starting to be accepted in the Empire which gave the writers even more motivation to not paint the Romans as a violent people). But in the end the biggest difference between God in the Old and New Testaments is that he allowed Jesus to be sacrificed. In the Old Testament when people did not listen to prophets God intervened (often violently). In the New Testament when the people don’t listen to his prophet (and son) he does not intervene violently. Instead he allows Jesus to spread a message of compassion and forgiveness rather than one of vengeance, fire, and brimstone.

I’m a Unitarian Not a High-Church Episcopalian Like My Parents (UNHCELMP), but I also get a great deal of spiritual guidance via emails from Jesus:Jesus and Stan are usually spot on not only about religion, but also life in general..
You went to a really white college didn’t you?
And I’m guessing the course on world religions did the trick to move you from Christianity to “spiritual”.
The same thing happened to me. Don’t worry, you’ll be cured of this as soon as life jades you enough to give up all hope in any greater power or your fellow man, or you’ll become an avid believer that there will be something better than this hell-hole, and everyone of those bastards that you’ve had to deal with will fing burn in hell.
Ouch Dude. Your comment offends me greatly. Catholics follow Jesus every time they repent of their sins and try to be good people and kind to their fellow man, just like you. And…I hereby revoke your right to use my given name…you are abusing it. Cheers!
Whoa! Too much information! Or, rather…EEEEEWWWWWW!!!
Might I suggest that instead you worship Santa. He has much less of a history of villainy and he gives you free stuff.
Or, they like being Catholic (because they were raised it) but then openly disagreeing with Catholicism on many key issues, never seeming to realize that their radical, free-thinking position is referred to historically as ‘being a Protestant’.
I am a white person and and I use to really be into Hinduism until I went to India for study abroad. I saw how uncompassionate that country is to poverty because they believe in karma and that a person gets what they have manifested. This uncompassionate view is also central to new age spirituality aka “The Secret” which is also very appealing to white people who feel the cure for anything negative in life is a whole food diet, yoga, meditation and thinking optimistically. Christianity however, has mercy for the downtrodden and recommends helping everyone and loving them as you would yourself.
The author needs to visit the bible belt here in the USA.
why can’t people be tollerant of all ethnicities and religions. why do we always have to characterize by the amount of pigment in one’s skin. stereotypes are lame. and so is everyone (including me) for even clicking on this rediculous website. get over it and like people for who they are…wait you all won’t, he’s not tall enough, she’s not dark enough, he’s too gay. Does it really affect you? Everyone has different unique backrounds with life stories to share for all. think about it
hmm…unleavened?
I say that I’m spiritual but not religious because I believe in God and the teachings of Jesus but not organized religion.
“Or, they like being Catholic (because they were raised it) but then openly disagreeing with Catholicism on many key issues, never seeming to realize that their radical, free-thinking position is referred to historically as ‘being a Protestant’.”
That’s good Carolyn, funny too. Me, I’m a lapsed Catholic and ignore the Church more than disagree with it. I hope I have time to make a good confession before I kick the bucket, just in case, know what I mean? I still make periodic Acts of Contrition not that I commit any sins any worse than having contempt for people and an overweening pride in myself. And missing mass.
This whole website is one big sterotype. So please it was cracking up reading some of these dumb yet funnier posts, keep them comin. The religious debate we can have for hours on this website and not serve any purpose because people will believe what they believe end of story. I recently became a muslim because the bible just didnt not add up for me, after learnig about islam from an extended family member the truth hit me like a ton of bricks. Its been tough but now I know the untouched truth. Oh and the Quran is filled with scientific miracles that were just proven scientifically in the past few years. Do your own research the new is full of crap we all know that. Please continue

Hey Bob, whitey can’t be bred out of existence.
If all of us white people marry, and then have children with; blacks, latins, asians etc, and the darkening of the world’s population occurs, then who will you blame your failures on?
It’s always “white racism” that keeps the poor black man down. Face it Bob, until blacks turn their collective focus towards education, instead of crack selling, sports and the entertainment industry, they, as a group, will continue to lag behind and comprise 90% of the criminal underclass.
But sure, blame us whiteys for your failures, that’s a lot easier than taking personal responsibility.
I’m a white woman, I’m not ashmed to be white and I don’t owe anyone of “color” a damn thing.
Kaballah does not involve Jesus.
Yes, he was Jewish.
That means the religion was already established by the time he came around.
Which means he WAS a Jew, but had no effect on the religion whatsover.
Kaballah is a part of Judaism and has nothing to do with Jesus.
Some white people, like me, change their religion in order to reconnect with their heritage. The worship of the Hebrew god has only been in my family for about 1500 years. He is not the god of my ancestors. I worship my ancestors and the gods of my ancestors, because they too, are my ancestors. We do not prostrate ourselves to them, nor do we beg for things we do not deserve, but honor them and give them gifts so that they may give to us.
Some of us actually hate the possibility of family drama over our apostasy. Family is primary to us. Unlike Christianity that focuses on individual salvation (bah, evil concept if ever there were one!) and obedience to God above all else, we see the need to maintain our family bonds for they are our past present and future.
Not all religions are exclusivist. The ones that most people are familiar with are because monotheism has to reject the validity of other religions (polytheism doesn’t), and most of the big religions are either obsessed with salvation from sin or with thinking that there is something wrong with life and so have to say that their teachings are the answer to the problem that they made up in the first place.
A good folk religion is merely the traditions of a particular group of people. It involves it own gods and values, and doesn’t care one way or another how outsiders live except for how they interact with it’s own.
Godsdamned militant atheists! If I and countless others like me have dealings with gods, and those gods make their presences known to us, why should we believe they don’t exist? The existences of gods of finite capabilities do not invalidate logic or empirical evidence the way that an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent god does. Why must you insist on lumping them together and denying the possibility that we might not be crazy and delusional?
This is truly sad, because such people would be better off finding their own prechristian ancestral religion, rather than latching on to someone else’s culture.
I’ve heard that the writer of the song was a repentant captain of a slave trade ship; definitely a wretch.
thats the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Christians are no more compassionate than hindus, and vice versa.
You give them gifts so that they may give to you… So it’s sort of like bartering with your dead relatives. Hmmm… I LIKE it!
If someone is offering you eternal happiness and bliss, it would only make sense you need to give up something to achieve it.
I wish my translator didn’t do it in Engrish, but from what I was able to understand, you hit the nail on the head.
Fuck $cientology, if you actually did research on it, you’ll HATE it.

I still can’t figure out how so many college educated people can follow evangelical protestantism.
Wrong. Both the Old Testament and the New describe God as both loving and just/vengeful. And there are plenty of examples of each of those attributes in both testaments. If you are determined to believe otherwise I’d suspect that you haven’t actually read it and just like to muck around on skeptic websites. With biblical literacy at an all-time low, that’s the approach of a lot of people these days…
Incorrect. And really a juvenile and uninformed assessment. I wish people wouldn’t be so willing to go on and on about things they don’t really know about…
Why do people respond to these blogs so seriously!!! Can’t you all just laugh?!?!
[…] #2 Religions their parents don’t belong to […]
hahaha good one =)
It’s people like you that make the rest of us “ashmed” to be white. =(
True, but that’s only if the belief is harmful or damaging to others or to society as a whole (say, Nazism.) Otherwise, follow the golden rule.
You know in some parts of Asia, Asian women will worship white cock. Chanting and rubbing a white dildo, “Buddah, please deliver me white cock”. True story!!!
You went all your life and never learned how to spell “Pentecostal”?
The harshest part of her comment is that she’s mostly correct, even if a little over-simplified.
That said, most Asians are too busy succeeding to sit around and complain.
Cfry, God “changes” right in the old testament, after the flood when he promises never to devastate the world again.
[…] Religions that their parents don’t belong to. […]
Oh yeah Monique like the good old Christians who went to Africa to save those savage Africans yeah real compassionate. Or more recent the Catholic priest. Give me a break white people.

“Its been tough but now I know the untouched truth.”
That IS funny, FunnyBlackGuy! Hilarious. More, please, I’m doubled over, choking from uncontrollable laughter! Hahahahahaha! “…I know the untouched truth.” Hahahahahahahaha! Incredible. Is that part of your stand up routine? Hahahahahahaha! Ever been to “parts of Asia . . . ?” Hahahahaha! Too funny, FunnyBlackGuy.
That is not only ignorant and racist, it’s just wrong.
The whole education thing? There is so many problems with simplifying it that much. The schools that are predominately “people of color” often times get less funding and are in an environment that is dangerous to their health. Seriously, look it up: for example in Los Angeles, only 34% of whites live in those areas, while 71% of blacks do, and 50% of Latinos. And you’re telling them to compete with healthy kids? Believe me, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
The reason why minorities “lag as a group” is because the past (and present day) discrimination has kept them at a disadvantage.
The crime statistic is also wrong. True, the prisons have many more minorities than white people, but that has to do with discrimination in the justice system. White people commit just as many crimes, but it’s often seen as “white collar crimes”. You know, embezzlement? Somehow, that makes them more acceptable.
That’s another thing white people love to do: pretend that white privilege doesn’t exists. Google Peggy McIntosh’s “Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.” That will help you understand that while you don’t “owe” us, you do have advantages that we can’t have.
I don’t know about all that. From what I’ve seen in my area is that minorities, especially african americans, have it made. If they even half way attempt to do well in school they can get good scholarships and they usually have no problem getting accepted to whichever school they choose, even with mediocre grades. I don’t know all the statistics and I’m quite sure neither does this Peggy McIntosh or anyone else who claims to. I can pull numbers out of my ass too and how would you know if I’m lying or not. All I can go on is what I’ve seen in my own life and that is, if black people would actually try they can be as successful as they want to be. I also wanted to say that I’ve never had a white person put my car on blocks and try to steal the wheels off of it. You can blame that on poverty but don’t blame it on discrimination in the justice system. Criminals are criminals.
And another thing, how can you consider Jennifer to be racist and not the writer of this blog.
Manny you’re a dipshit. Stereotypes, tired or not, are stereotypes because they’re true!!
First, you use the word “sect” incorrectly. I think you meant “cult” as a sect is simply a faction or group with distinct beliefs separating them from the larger denomination. Therefore, two sects could still both retain their Christian identity even with greatly differing beliefs. You obviously do not believe Catholics are Christians at all. “Sect” was a poor word choice.
Second, I’m guessing you’re a Fundamentalist Christian of some variety. Take a peek at the history books and you’ll find that your brand of Christianity descends from those who broke from the Catholic Church. Technically, you’re part of the sect – not the other way around. And, I use “sect” in this instance because that’s how the Catholic would view it.
You guys are all funny…
Most free-thinking, rational white people know god doesn’t exist…
And who is this jesus fella everyone keeps posting about?
YEAYAH!
Well, it’s a good thing no one listens to you or Jennifer. Maybe you two knucklewalkers should get married and beat each other up for being so stupid. You’ve got a lot of work to do, there’s much evil and disease in both your minds, so get to it. Grunt if you understand, or just point at someone giving the “okay” sign, since you probably can’t read.
Jesus is only a Jew on His Mother’s side
His Father is catholic
really and sincerely,
BRAVO…
WHITE PEOPLE IS ADDICTED TO RACE.. THAT’S ALL THEY TALK ABOUT… perdiod
I’m a Baptist okay, we just believe Christ (Jesus) came to earth in human form to let us be able to get to heaven easier than sacrificing an animal every time we sin. He also wanted to tell us that he is the son of god, and their is only one God
Also, true Christians shouldn’t be oppressive or racial. We all should treat our neighbor as ourself.
IDiocracy: Yikes… perdiod?
JJ: BO-ring…
In England we “white English” try to avoid religion if we can, as it is embarrassing to admit to being more than just a tiny bit religious. Its just for Christmas (and the kids) not for life…
Embarrassment, humour and hypocrisy are our natural responses to all social interaction especially religion . Read Kate Fox “Watching the English “especially as it decodes the da vinci “how to get a drink in an English pub if you are foreign” mystery and is very LOL to read on a train – which is also very embarrassing for the English. Everyone looks at you …
So naturally we all belong to the Church of England (its like a default on the computer – ” no religion? put C of E” whose software Microsoft! But especially these days so we can get the kids into the best schools. If the best schools one day turn out to be Muslim or even Scientiologist we would all convert – at least until the kids get to college.
Me ? I am a protestant atheist – the only god I am prepared not to believe in is the English one of good Queen Bess. The idea of not believing in any of the others is just too ridiculous as they obviously could not possibly exist in the first place (and are all foreign) so not believing in them would just have no point.
By the way (heavy hint for the hard of thinking ) supplies of IRONY in the US must be running really low due to this excellent blog soaking it all up. It is clear some posters already have got none left at all. You could try moving to Canada…..or ask the UN for help…
But we’ve plenty to spare here as we’ve forgotten how to tell when we are using it and when we aren’t and so disappear up our own psuedo- ironic iconoclastic whats’its (can’t use the A word – its embarrassing unless used ironically ) doh now isn’t that just post modernism? Now that’s very English White Hampstead.
I grew up Roman Catholic. Every Sunday, I would hear my parents outwardly disagree with the church. They hated its wealth and greed. They disagreed with its doctrine. But, they would never leave to go to another branch more compatible with their beliefs. It just wasn’t done.
I on the other hand don’t goto the RC church. I disagree with it. I have seen its greed and hypocrisy head on. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Although, I am a hypocrite in one sense. I do not tell my parents I don’t goto the RC church, unless I visit them.
“…bread out of existence…” Breaking off a bit much to chew, aren’t we?
You’re on your what?
if you had my life you’d know how difficult that can be.
It’s “bred” not “bread”…
[…] Funny… Stuff White People Like […]
Ha ha ha, wrong again…
I would have to believe in religion first – which I DON’T.
Jews and Muslims can both trace their roots to Abraham, so they are both much older than Christianity. Duh. So Islam could not possibly be a sect of Christianity. Why do you think both Jews and Muslims are laying claim to Israel? Because God said that the Promised Land would be given to the children of Abraham. Since both Jews and Muslims can trace their lineage (some say spiritual, some say genetic) to Abraham (each through a different son), we have Jews and Palistineans blowing each other up.
It’s very simple. Although most people don’t actually know this stuff, at least in the United States – so yeah, you would not call Islam a sect of Judaism or Christianity because it is a totally different religion. Don’t be thick.
If you have such a high “regard for the Western values that hold the sanctity of human life and liberty dear. “, then how can you advocate the killing of large numbers of innocent bystanders (peace loving muslims). isn’t “their” life as valuable as “ours.”
if you were held hostage in your house by people threatening you and your neighbours would you advocate the action of bombing your house?
peace loving people in any region of conflict are helpless victims. why would you punish them for no fault of theirs.
White people love to make “expert” comments while actually knowing little to nothing. I’ll play along, try to follow. I can trace my roots back to Abraham as a white person (lie). Now can I claim Jerusalem as mine too?
All Muhammad did was use the Old testament and New testament and make up the Koran and Islam to unite fighting Arab tribes. He saw that the Jews had their adhesive culture and that Christianity was spreading everywhere and needed to unite the PAGAN Arab tribes. Muhammed invented Islam/Allah in 600 AD.
What on earth does bread have to do with the existence of white people, other than the fact that some sorts of breads, like people, happen to be white?
Oh wait, you mean bred out of existence… That won’t happen either. Even though the current statistics may seem to back you up. You will find that if white people ever seriously feel threatened, they will turn into baby-making machines. Much like rabbits, who also are sometimes white
I don’t know where the hell most of you people live, but if this guy really knew what he was talking about, this should have been called WHITE PEOPLE LOVE CHRISTIANITY
darnell “cracker”.I am black and was enjoying the bloggers’ “intense” debate on religion until I read ur nonsense.A black man and everyone else out there can grasp abstract topics if they choose to open up their minds without fear.And that is exactly what u need to practise in order to appreciate the fact that Tupac was flawed but enlightened and so was a great deal of his music.It was at worst thought-provoking.Ur attitude is a major reason why a lot of the world is in a mess.
White people like engaging in racist banter.
Good job. I agree with you fully and if these other autistic fucks can’t tell the validity in your points then they can go to hell.
I would like to point out this piece of faulty literature.
“The whole education thing? There is so many problems with simplifying it that much. The schools that are predominately “people of color” often times get less funding and are in an environment that is dangerous to their health. Seriously, look it up: for example in Los Angeles, only 34% of whites live in those areas, while 71% of blacks do, and 50% of Latinos. And you’re telling them to compete with healthy kids? Believe me, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
Well let me just put this plain and simple. The schools get less funding because they perform poorly and the kids aren’t able to focus on school because they’re in a dangerous environment. That’s understandable. It’s very hard to learn with a pack of Latin Kings setting your desk on fire. Then of course you have to think for a second. Hmmm I wonder what ethnicities form gangs? OHHH YEAAAA!!!! Now I understand! Latinos and blacks can’t learn because those gangs that fuck up their neighborhoods just happen to be the class that graduated before them. Shit rolls downhill. They fucked themselves over by fulfilling their own stereotypes.
Which God should we thank?
God is loving yes. God is also Holy and Just. People often forget to remind themselves of this point or they really havent taken the time to understand the Bible.
the first thing we all need to remember is that we are not good. i love it when people think they are going to heaven because they are nice and good and don’t do anything “wrong”. the problem is we are not good, not one of us. According to scripture we are born hating God and born into sin, being direct descendants of Adam in the Garden of Eden. The Bible says that if you break one of Gods laws you have broken them all.
Remember 3 of the main attributes of God i mentioned at the top? Love. Holy. and Just.
God is love, showed it by sending His son Jesus to take the place for many(not everyone). Why is this love? because by default we deserve hell. because of us being rebellious, by nature, hating and sinning against God we deserve hell. everyone single one of us. God sent His Son as a propitiation on the cross to take on Gods ultimate just wrath we should have experienced.
I know what some of you are thinking. How can a loving God allow some people into hell and some people get to go to heaven?? Thats the wrong question. The real question is, is that if God is Holy and cannot stand sin and if we all indeed have sinned against Him how in the world would He allow ANYONE AT ALL to get into heaven??? The very fact that ONE PERSON could ever be allowed into the presence of God in heaven should all blow our minds.
God is Just. Picture yourself walking into your house and there is a murderer in your house that has just finished murdering your whole family. you run up to him, tackle him, tie him up and call the police. they come and pick him up, through him in jail and his trial date comes. as you await the verdict of the person who killed your whole family, the judge walks in and reviews the evidence and says,
“i see you have committed these crimes. I am a loving judge and because of this i am just going to forgive you and let you go. you are free to go”.
so what are you going to do? you are going to be quite mad. you are going to DEMAND JUSTICE. you are going to call the newspapers, your congressmen, the media and do everything in your power to let people know that JUSTICE was not served. A loving, yet just judge hands out proper and orderly justice.
how in the world could you demand such justice from a judge yet not from God?
so while God is loving He is also Holy(cannot stand to be in the presence of sin) and He is also Just – serving justice to those that deserve His wrath. Jesus came on the earth to take on the wrath of God that you were supposed to bear.
There is nothing you can do other than through Jesus to be saved according to scripture. Going to church, being good, being nice, helping the poor, simply saying you are a Christian, some pastor saying you are etc etc according to scripture doesn’t mean you are saved and you are going to hell.
Jesus died as i said before on a rugged tree, bore your sins, still was sinless and rose from the grave. Thats the difference in Christianity and all other belief systems in the world that proclaim that through your works you can achieve salvation unto heaven, yet everyone of those leaders that claimed this and people worshipped are still in their grave, their bodies decayed. You cannot say the same about Jesus.
In the Bible Paul explains that without the resurrection we(true Christians/believers) are the most to pitied and even makes a case that if it were not true, we have the most reason to live it up, drink, be merry and do whatever we want. The death on the cross and the resurrection is where we put all our chips on table. Without that then we might as well all go home and live like the world. Everything is on the balance concerning the empty tomb.
Both Jewish and Roman sources and traditions admit an empty tomb. The followers of Jesus said He had risen from the dead. They reported that He appeared to them during a period of 40 days. Paul the apostle recounted that Jesus appeared to more than 500 of His followers at one time, the majority of whom were still alive and who could confirm what Paul wrote. So many security precautions were taken with the trial, crucifixion, burial, entombment, sealing, and guarding of Christ’s tomb that it becomes very difficult for critics to defend their position that Christ did not rise from the dead.
the people who approached the tomb saw the unusual position of the one and a half to two ton stone that had been lodged in front of the doorway. Those who observed the stone after the resurrection describe its position as having been rolled up a slope away not just from the entrance of the tomb, but from the entire massive sepulcher. It was in such a position that it looked as if it had been picked up and carried away. Now, I ask you, if the disciples had wanted to come in, tiptoe around the sleeping guards, and then roll the stone over and steal Jesus’ body, how could they have done that without the guards’ awareness?
The Roman guards had fled. They left their place of responsibility. How can their attrition he explained, when Roman military discipline was so exceptional? The fear of their superiors’ wrath and the possibility of death meant that they paid close attention to the minutest details of their jobs. One way a guard was put to death was by being stripped of his clothes and then burned alive in a fire started with his garments. If it was not apparent which soldier had failed in his duty, then lots were drawn to see which one wand be punished with death for the guard unit’s failure. Certainly the entire unit would not have fallen asleep with that kind of threat over their heads.
Again, one of the earliest records of Christ’s appearing after the resurrection is by Paul. The apostle appealed to his audience’s knowledge of the fact that Christ had been seen by more than 500 people at one time. Paul reminded them that the majority of those people were still alive and could be questioned. Let’s take the more than 500 witnesses who saw Jesus alive after His death and burial, and place them in a courtroom. Do you realize that if each of those 500 people were to testify for only six minutes, including cross-examination, you would have an amazing 50 hours of first hand testimony? Add to this the testimony of many other eyewitnesses and you would well have the largest and most lopsided trial in history.
i could go on and on about all kinds of other questions people ask and wonder about but its all right in the Bible.
Yes, another thanks for mentioning Scientology. Its helped me a lot.
Hi Bob Blanche,
You spelled “bred” wrong. But that’s okay, because white people love grammar too.
Love it. Priceless.
hahaha Bread out of existence? Does this mean that you will throw slices of bread at them until they run away?
I have to disagree…I was born and raised Buddhist and my parents were practicing wayyy before I was born…and I still do practice Buddhism. I’m not asian and neither are my parents…so I guess I defy the white people odds huh? 🙂
PS Great blog!
For those seeking the proof of Jesus Christ’s “Godliness” claims or the validity of the Bible, here is a good post that negates both titled (That the Bible is the word of God? Give me a Break )
Look..
The the problems facing minorities vis-a-vis education, poverty, ghettoization, etc. has much less to do with their ethnicities than it has to do with socio-economic class divisions (not to sound like a marxist or anything). I’m not trying to be a smart alec…I know everybody knows this.
If history had taken a different course, and whites weren’t the dominant colonial forces in previous centuries, who is to say how racial distinctions would function today.
People are all the same. We have the same potential to be good citizens, just as we all have the same potential to turn to crime. It’s POLITICS that put huge groups of people into unfortunate situations from which it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to escape.
So yeah…the school situation is an obvious example..and it proves that we (whitey) ARE to blame..simply because we’re the ones running things..we’re the ones with the ACTUAL, legislative power to change the plight of the poor classes – which whitey has been delineating along racial boundaries for centuries – but instead of breaking the shitty cycles in which the poverty-burdened non-whites are stuck, we choose to ignore them and blame their suffering on their own apathy or “lack of civic motivation”. Spot the hypocrites.
p.s.
judaism is stupid…so is christianity and islam and pessimism and optimism.
quit being a terrorist
I strongly dislike religion. ALL religion and all talk of religion and why people like/believe in their religion and all arguments about religion and/or how much good or bad religion does/is…. ALL religion and really, there’s not much(any) difference between religion amd “spirituality” Please.
Picking a religion that is different is easier than being atheist and white people love rebelling against cultural norms. It’s a natural choice for someone who wants to differentiatiate without having to pick a stance that is totally contrary. Kind of like the reason that Shiite Islam got a lot more traction in non-Arab societies. They could be “religious” without assimilating. Or how a lot of white people can like rock’n roll but get to pick some band/sub-category you have never heard of.
In reference to above debates, I would like to see a post saying that white people like Jews or at least like feeling guilty about the Holocaust. Or are Jews white? I have seen quite a lot of Jews exhibit this “white behaviour” (or at least as definied by this blog), and a much greater percentage exhibit these pereferences than people of Anglo-Saxon backgrounds. Can the blog weigh in on this?
This blog is super-dope, and I love reading it.
Abraham was not white nor was Jesus. They were Middle Eastern and looked more like those terrorists everyone is talking about than any white or black person in the world.
They were from land north of the Saudi Arabian peninsula.
Besides, no one mentioned any of the “pagan” religions still practiced like the native american religions, celtic traditions, etc.
I liked the tough, two-fisted gin joint brawler that God was in the Old Testament as opposed to the namby-pamby loving benificence put on display in the New Testament. Who’s kidding who, right ? God’s job is to get things done and sometimes that involves a little smoting, the occasional worldwide flood and the generally truculent, erratic behavior of any self-respecting tyrant. God’s behavior in the Old Testament was mimicked by such luminaries as Stalin, Mao Zedong, Mussolini and a veritable cavalcade of power-mad despots and, for all their faults, they did, by God, get things done !
Well, Ailim, I sure as hell won’t settle for anything less than having my biblical figures with crystal blue eyes, aquiline noses and lily-white complexions. And, oh yeah, they should have nice hair and speak with a crisp British accent. Jesus has gotta be palatable to the American masses and I just don’t think they’re gonna turn out in droves for a shifty-eyed, hook-nosed dude with kinky hair and a swarthy complexion, no matter how ebullient his personality or divine his wisdom. Jesus would just have to get a job driving a cab with those unbecoming physical attributes.
I would have to believe in religion first – which I DON’T.
Yeah, you actually do. Religion just means to regulate–to order your life according to your beliefs, which everyone does. As white band Rush put it, “If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.”
Butter bread and then dread.
Of course white privilege exists. We created it. And you are powerless to stop it. But we are not completely uncaring. We have deigned to grant you a history month to assuage your damaged self-esteem. Keep following the advice of Spike Lee “Fight the power!” In the mean time I will take the power. (It is there for the taking.)
BTW, I really did not see much of the privilege that was my genetic birthright growing up as a hillbilly in rural West Virginia. However, in a victomhood contest, I will gladly concede victory to you.
Rightfully so. However, i believe it is spelled ‘bred’ not ‘bread.’ Ah, that great feeling of righteous superiority.
Psychomancer is a stupid and mean-spirited bigot. Bigot Bigot Bigot. Victimize this, you hillbilly piece of trash: *I’m giving you the middle finger*
Oh, and yes you did see LOTS of white privilege growing up in hick west virginia: you were privileged enough to somehow be allowed to get away with being such a white racist waste of life. Lower-class non-whites are never given a chance. The ones that find or make their own ‘chances’ are thwarted at every turn. And no, affirmative action is/was not a remedy for this situation. They’re thwarted by never being trusted or taken seriously in society, no matter how hard they work.
This is the most absurd post I’ve encountered on this site. As the discussion demonstrated, the study of religion leads to much greater comprehension of the experience of past generations. To ask not to speak of religion is to ask not to investigate history, literature, philosophy, and learning in general.
This seems to me an ideal forum for discussing these issues. When wondering about the significance of any type of discussion and contemplating what to do, just ask yourself: What would Jesus do?
how bout claiming your great great grandma was a CHEROKEE princess?!?!
yes.
I’m sure she was. And yes. I’m sure you have pictures.
Kabbalah isn’t a sect of Judaism; it’s a text. And it wasn’t even in written form until LONG after Jesus lived.
Moronic and evil. What a waste of time and energy. You hate women and cats, huh? Poor god…you probably have a 1″ cock.
Racist banter is unfortunately universal geoffrey. See CHAD’s comment above and much of the commentary on this website. You’ll find anti-white, anti-black, anti-semitic, and more.
Actually, while Muslims do claim to be the descendents of Esau, the Islamic faith originated from the teachings of their claimed prophet Mohammed, who lived in the seventh century, hundreds of years after the founding of Christianity. It is not a sect of Judaism or Christianity, but originated after the founding of both, if anyone cares.
Your pretty friggin’ hateful – but pretty colse to the truth
you go to obama’s church too ?
you’re gay, aren’t you ?
no, you’re not racist….just fuckin’ retarded
yea, its called volvo-ism
yea but we have more sex.
which bush are you ? hahahahaha
they’ll believe in anything that lets them lie even to themselves
White liberal gays fit this topic quite well.
LOL! Exactly.

Here is something that makes sense for everyones inner beliefs
“We are the facilitators of our own creative evolution.”
Bill Hicks.
And why not, here’s one more.
“A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a fucking cross? It’s like going up to Jackie Onassis wearing a rifle pendant.”
Bill Hicks
White people make me giggle until I tinkle myself.
Umm, has anyone actually studied the history of Christianity?
Cause, you know, the whole thing – from the concept of the holy trinity to heaven and hell, the devil, most of the early saints, purgatory, a good chunk of the gospel stories, etc. are ALL founded on beliefs usurped from pagan faiths, not just Judaism.
For instance, it made it easier for the pagans to be converted when the christians came in and built a church on top of their sacred lands and told them their Gods were actually saints.
Like the God that had its head cut off and carried it four miles before turning into a tree or something at their sacred site. Who was it really? According to the missionaries, Saint Ignatz or something. Let’s honor him with a church and put his images on the walls. Pagans 0, Christians 1.
For reference, try, umm the walls of any gothic cathederal.
Who is/was the devil? Check out Zoastrianism.
The holy trinity? You mean the convenient explanation for a single but multiple God? Oh, check out Zoastrianism on that one too.
Kabbalah is NOT a “sect” of Judaism. It also doesn’t involve Jesus. Just like “talmud,” “nai” “torah” or “mishna,” Kabbalah is a study within Judaism. It is a set of books and teaching that some rabbis who have mastered other sets of Jewish books will study. It also emerged in Judaism after Jesus and Christianity were already born, so Christianity doesn’t have it.
Damn right Christianity doesn’t have it! Why the Hell would Christianity have some voodoo nonsense like Kubulluh or whatever you call it? It’s for whackos like Madonna, and those freaks I see with the bizarre beards and what not, not good, God fearing Christians. We take our Lord Straight With No Fillers.
Unitarian Universalism. Where else can white people gather to validate their unspoken feelings of intellectual correctness and curiosity while embracing that elusive forge of secular humanism and musical entertainment (read: folk and classical mostly) folded into a syllabus of non-confrontational community activism?
The old joke is about the Christian with the cross, the observant Jew with the Star of David, and the Unitarian with the question mark. In most instances the Unitarian would just smile it off and soldier on in the questioning of religious dogma – in a most respectful way of course.
[…] the Bible are nowhere to be found. A search of the word “Jesus” turns up one thing (Religions that their parents don’t belong to) and a search of the word “Bible” yields zero. Even the near ubiquitous WWJD acronym […]
did you mean bred?
i think grammer is on the list
What about being Atheist. White People love telling everyone that they are a Atheist and look down on others who believe in any organized religion.
Islam was created in the 600s. that would be long after Christianity. it is not a sect of Christianity, just like Christianity is not a sect of Judaism, is is an Abrahamis religion yes, and in Islam Muslims are told to obay all the prophets if God, including Jesus. but they believe Jesus was just a guy with divinely inspired ideas, no the son of god.
ummm. Islam does include Jesus as one of their prophets.
Please can we shut the f### up about white people. I would love to get a machine gun and mow down anyone who has a darker skin than mine. Im white, british born and bred and was proud of my country before all the semlly ill mannered and uncouth imigrants moved in. I have hundreds of white friends who quite frankly have had just about enough and we are really pisssed off with hate campaigns against us. We did not ask you to come here and when there is trouble in your “wonderful”! countries our stupid governement sends out loads of money to help you when our old age pensioners and dperiveved white people are suffering daily. You have obviously never been homless. I have and if our governemet had any balls left it would send the lot of you back on the boats you came on. please will you leave us alone.!!!!!
As for relegin the muslims are on a jahid to take over and the christians (white or black) are tottaly on the wrong track. Love one another? They slaughtered millions in their fanatic quest to prove that their releigion was right.
You are tottaly wrong mate. White people who are far far superior to blacks and dont get any bloody say in who comes into our country. Its our stupid politicains who listen to all their sob stories about how bad their lives are. If they dont like how things are in our WHITE country then bloody well leave!!!!!!!!!!
If you waste time worshipping something thinking “it” will give you something back then you are living in a bloody dream world. You have to work hard to get something in this life.
As for changing your relegion so it suits you, if there was a God hed been laughing at you!!!
Btw I agree with Don. Give them gifts so that they give to you. That is the most selfish thing ive ever heard of!!!!!
I got a prayer for all you anti rasicist guys. Dear God, if you do exist and I know ill go to heaven which is a far far better place than earth when i die, ok well erm its a bit late then but never mind. Im being a real good guy but if and only if I contunue to be one, please will you give me , lots of women, fast cars, plenty of money, lots of sex, happiness, many many material things so that everyone will think im a wonderfull person. If you do I might even pluck up courage the next time I see a beggar on the street and be good enough to give them 20 pence towrds a cup of coffee. After all they really deserve that.Ok they got no where to live and I have but I do not see that as a problem.
OIh Ive got a confession to make oh holy one, I saw a gal in a mini skirt and thought, id like to give a good shagging( I guess you never think like that) does that mean that now ive got to go to church and confess in front of all the other Holy people there that i have commiteed a terrible nis oh er sorry its just a word i mean sin by having a sexual thought? Bad things arew in what people DO not in what they think.
The biblke is just a concocted load of nonsense dreamed up by rulers who wanted to suppress people and CONTROL them. Its all about control and nothing else.Please wake up!!!
Elliot, I thought this jesus guy was a character form one of the “Harry Potter” books LOL..
You got it right mate. well said
Well said Elliot/ I thought this jesus guy was a character out of the “Harry Potter” books? LOL

Thanks God you some good guy XXXXX
There is a difference between religion and spirituality. Spirituality is what you do alone, religion is spirituality in community, or the pretense of that.
If you don’t have any sense of spirituality at all, and some people don’t, that is like being color-blind to it. Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. You can go through your whole life without it, but don’t assume that what you can’t see isn’t really important for others.
Plus, religions, and spirituality, vary all over the place. Many of us have a deep spirituality without a god who has a personality or who micromanages. Check out something called Process Theology, for instance.
God changed before that: from female to male. Yes, God is transsexual.
Brad — Those others are right and you are wrong — Catholics were Christians long before your version of Christianity existed. You are the ones who broke off from Catholicism during the Reformation. Or maybe your sect is much younger than that.
Mine dates from the Reformation, and you probably wouldn’t think I’m Christian either. I’m a Unitarian Universalist. (God is, at most, one, and everyone goes to heaven. )
If you are going to worship Satan, may I suggest that you first read this essay, which is called “Satan Is Alive and Well” and in it there are links to a series called “Christians in the Hands of an Angry God.” Please read those too.
You will enjoy them. A lot.

Was that intended to be ironic?
What makes you say that Jesus was not Jewish? Jesus certainly THOUGHT he was Jewish. His mother was Jewish, which makes him Jewish. Doesn’t matter what his father was. (If you believe he was of the line of David, and therefore fulfilled the prophesies to be the Messiah, then Joseph had to be Jesus’ father, because Joseph traced his lineage back to David, but Mary didn’t. )
That’s why Universalism taught that He doesn’t do that — we all go to heaven — eventually.
And atheism isn’t boring???
“Stereotypes, tired or not, are stereotypes because they’re true!!”
No, it’s because they have a GRAIN of truth. There’s a difference.
I am white and a proud christian. But I do have respect for non-christians. (except scientology because thats crap.)
i have to say this is tru. look at marilyn manson, friggin anti-christ shit. and all those kids brain-washed by him tat go to his concerts. blAGHH.
you seem to poop your pants on every site i visit. maybe you should see a doctor!
Best are those people that like to be religious in “their own way”.
Like: “I believe in Catholic values, but the Pope and the Church is all wrong!”
Monique,
What you mistook as apathy was actually shock at seeing poverty and the stoicism of people. one of main reasons of poverty in India was the British rule who were Christians by the way! India was a thriving civilization under the Hindu kings (read golden age: guptas, cholas). Even the Mughals made it their own country instead of sucking out the wealth. Two million people died of famine artificiallycaused by the british govt (read bengal famine). There has been no such thing after the british left.
Compassion is a big part of hinduism/buddhism because it says that if you are unkind to someone else, Karma dictates that you will get it back. Have you heard of ‘Seva’ ?
By the way, I don’t see any compassion in the conduct of Christians in South America and what they did to native americans.
In summary: It is easy to show that you are more compassionate once you have accrued all the wealth/land/resources from other people.
[Also Hindus do not have any problem with recognizing the divinity of Jesus (like they revere Buddha) if so called ‘Christians’ were not so anal about their idea of God being the only true one. Muslims have the same binary idea and no wonder these religions have problems with each other and wherever they proselytize or convert.]

uu – that is so white!
Anyone is welcome. But it’s a liberal and intellectual culture, so if you’re not those things, you might not find us a comfy fit.
What do you mean? That was so inarticulate that I couldn’t figure it out. What is your native language?

Interesting entry.
Actually, Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and Europe today, with women forming the majority of all converts to Islam.
But I suppose this was just an apt example of how white people know more about *your* religion or culture 🙂
Re: Popular choices include Buddhism, Hinduism, Kabbalah and, to a lesser extent, Scientology. A few even dip into Islam, but it’s much more rare since you have to give stuff up and actually go to Mosque.
“religion is stupid in all forms”
and you’ve studied every one of them so you can say that?
Sabbatical? You sound like a teenager.
Me too! I’m very white, and fit most of the stereotypes on this website. And I love Jesus! And my parents are Christian as well!
Extra points for starting angry exchanges with “Aquinas” – even more for lesser-knowns/non-Christians such as Maimonides or Averroes.
What if God was one of us, Joan Osborne’s musical question? Just maybe the whitest song ever.
Jesus may have walked on water, but Bill Braskey swam through land! BILL BRASKEY!
Your apologetics kicked butt, golden eagle.
I think the reason that Islam is the fastest growing religion has more to do with birthrates, eg, the birthrate among white French is 1.6 and among Muslims it is 6.
Within two generations years, France will be a Muslim nation.
Uh huh. Then we will see which religion is superior. Move to France if you think Islam is so fantastic and superior to Christianity.
Bags packed yet? Didn’t think so.
Two generations / 20 years – excuse the typo please
I would have to disagree with you on your description of God and Christianity here. As a Christian, I would point out that we believe that God to be immutable – i.e. He does not change. He did not change from vengeful to nice due to Jesus’ influence. The New Testament states pretty explicitly that God in the OT was also a forgiving God, and that Jesus’ crucifixion / resurrection was necessary for that forgiveness. For example, in Romans 3 Paul states that God Christ’s was necessary ‘because He [God] had passed over former sins’ – in other words, the sins which had been committed prior to Jesus’ birth.
I do agree that several of the OT stories make it appear that God is somehow more wrathful in the OT, and becomes “more loving” in the NT, but I think a closer reading will show that God is both graceful/loving and a righteous judge at the same time in both testaments. This is of course the great paradox of the Cross – God shows His righteousness by punishing all of the sins committed by Christians, because as a righteous judge He cannot leave sin unpunished. But because of His amazing love and grace, He chooses to send and offer up His only Son and to execute that punishment on Him rather than us, so that (per Romans 3) God is both “just and the Justifier” of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Also, if you think God became some sort of soft grandfather in the NT, read Acts 5 about Ananias and Sapphira, or read the gospels where Jesus says those who fail to recognize Him as Lord will be thrown into the eternal fire. Jesus was and is Love incarnate / the Savior of mankind, but He is also Lord – and you can’t have Him as one without the other.
Cheers.
would that be whole wheat, or rye?
why do individual people always respond to this stuff like they are directly talking about YOU.
lighten up. It’s satire. IE and exageration with just enough truth to be funny. And about A GROUP of people. Nobody cares about you really…
This probably isn’t the best place to post this but i really don’t get where people get this idea that if they somehow rid the world of religion everything is somehow gauranteed to be better.
Human beings are so unpredictable that could end up causing anything from a peace loving paradise to a man made hell.
Just be happy being an atheist and leave other people alone.
Reality Check,
One Generation = 33 years
Two Generation = 66 years

People are so quick to diss scientology for it’s outlandish beliefs, yet easily believe of an immaculate conception and water turning into wine…. Sheep are sheep no matter who the shepard is.
Scientology was based off of a fictional book from not that long ago…I’m not religious in any way but scientology is a joke for the rich to pay for “salvation”…try looking into their beliefs, it’s pretty hilarious
I don’t believe in any religion. It’s cool since I don’t have to worry if I have to put that Buddha here, that star of David here or that crucifix over there. I think religion is silly, anyway, and am saddened by the fact that people still believe in imaginary friends who take care of them.
I’m an atheist and an anti-theist too, like I’d assume you are, but trying to say that Scientology is “just as crazy” as Christianity is still dumb. Sure, they’re both crazy, but Scientology is clearly crazier and they’re even more dickish to their constituents the way they make them pay dues to the Church and shun their family or friends if the Church deems them a “threat to Scientology”.
isn’t no believing in organized religion like saying you don’t believe in an organized god?
“Mostly they are into religion that fits really well into their homes or wardrobe and doesn’t require them to do very much.”
Oh how true!!!
And for those who might recognize that the Buddah or Kabbalah might actually demand some form of action (including serious study to determine whether or not he or it does require something), we have aethism!!
I actually think that’s a positive thing. Organized bodies of religion are obsolete in my opinion.
says you
Take note: Atheism is NOT a religion.
Scientologists are no different than Christians – they both pay pay for their entrance to ‘heaven’.
i do belive in Allah and the message of islam.after reading the quran you just have the feeling that its God’s word.
i have tried every religion to find answers but sumthing in the QURAN attracted my senses .so i converted to islam
good for you!
What Christianity do you know about? The only cause I support is Salvation by grace alone, which is the opposite of paying.
I have been living and working in Asia for the last 16 years(China and now in Vietnam). Its uncanny just how Stiff White people seem to know more about China,having never been there then those of us who have. Here’s an example.
My brother lives in Yuppie Paradise(New Hampshire) working as a Nurse Practioner,another Yuppie white person job that replaces real doctors. . Two years ago he tells me he’ is doing a serious study of Tibetian Buddhism. Now he says he the expert in it.Of course he has never been to Tibet,let alone China.I lived and taught school in Lhasa and on the Tibet plateau in Sichuan Province ,China for two years. But when the riots happened in March 2008 all of a sudden he and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi(another stiff white chick) are all against China and for the Dali Lama. How China violates human rights of the Tibetian people. Hmmmm. What about the violation of human rights of Muslim people by America? They don’t want to talk about that it seems. But they ignore the fact that most Tibetian non monks like the current system under China . For one thing they get to go to school and university which under the Dali’s rule they didn’t, unless they entered the monastary. They don’t have to give the monastaries 80% of their crops anymore,so the monks eat well and the serfs starve to death. . And they do not have to grow “poppies” that the monks use in ? “medicine”
Which makes the Dali Lama one of the biggest drug lords in Asia. This is a man who left Tibet at age 15,has never known either poverty or hunger,operates a multi-million dollar publishing company ,buys Rolex watches( he owns 120 of them) Rolls Royce cars(owns 3) a private jet and travels America and Europe giving spiritual conferences at $500 bucks a head to to stiff white people who then feel spitually fulfilled. . Stiff white people like new age religion .It makes the feel special in their baptized,ritualized pagan world of Yuppism.
Atheism is DEFINITELY a religion. The atheist is just as rabid and (dare I say it…) irrational in his (or her) denial of anything that does not fit his or her perception of Reality as the spiritualist is of his/her beliefs. “Reality” gives the atheist everything a religion gives the spiritualist, comfort, sense of where the self fits in the larger world, etc. It is one of the most common (and, frankly, more laughable) traits of the atheist that they will invariably bristle at being compared with one who believes in a “religion”. Just relax, folks. “Whatever gets you through the night…”
and they come with aliens!

Un – Fucking – Believable
Hey Willy,
Very interesting take on the Dalai Lama (DL) and the old regime. I’d heard some of these criticisms before, especially about the exploitation of the Tibetan peasantry by the old feudal order. But I’d not heard before that the DL owned Rolexes, only a collection of watch-bands. He has written or co-written many books, but as I understand it these were actually published by a variety of regular publishing companies, with the DL only holding copyrights through a company that belongs to his government-in-exile. The DL doesn’t own the company. I know nothing about any private jets, which would seem to be far too expensive to own and maintain when even many very rich people today prefer to rent them through something called fractional-jet-ownership. (Warren Buffet, the world’s richest man, does this — and he owns the company!) As for $500 per head conferences, let me tell you that you’ve been in China too long if you think that’s expensive by US standards.
So here’s my question for you: Do you have some supporting evidence for your claims? Or is this mere hearsay?
Thanks.
Mike
Interesting — Is Islam growing because of “convert or die?” Why is it that only in Arab contries is religion controlled? How many freely practiciing Christians are there in Saudia Arabia? Is that control of religion the reason it is growing?
First of all who is “ashamed” to be white? Certainly not me, I agree 100% with Jennifer.
Second what is :::”ashmed”:::?
And you really think lower-class whites have that much more of an opportunity?
grammar
While I don’t necessarily agree with Toranosuke(wtf), I also disagree that only a white person would say that, there are just as many lazy-assed people of ethnicity.
Most American black people don’t have any heritage to sell out in the first place. Mostly because their parents often don’t give a shit about their children whom they were burdened with at an early age so the father ran off to go find something shiny to stick on his car instead of giving money towards books for the child that would help the kid realize just where the fuck he was from.
And who said Nazi-ism is damaging. There is nothing wrong with national socialism. The damaging part of that conflict actually didn’t have as much to do with the system of national socialism as much as it did the need to unite the german people against a common enemy to pull them out of a depression. The people that were killed were mostly seen as degenerates or a threat to the political stability, which is something that Germany needed sorely.
Right on man. Thats actually alot funnier than the original list.
I would say that grain comprises about 75% of the stereotype.
Not if you’re an atheist because god wouldn’t get rid of your chronic acne so you can’t get a girl.
Will anyone tell on me if I push him in an oven? 🙂
White people love to be offended *see above*
That’s the whole point retard. This site is a JOKE, it IS NOT SERIOUS commentary. It is SATIRE.
I’m not even spiritual. For satire, I’ve found very little on this list that makes me laugh at me.
White people like to have opinions and share them with other white people in the hope of looking sophistacted and enlightened. Actually, I guess everyone does that. Even saying this makes me a hypocrite. It had to be said, though.
Ha.. yeah I do realize this site is a joke, but it still pisses me off! ha! I’m going to bed now that I’m good and annoyed! Now where’s the whatblackpeoplelike website? Kinda like where is White Entertainment Television, the White College Fund or White History Month? ha.. sorry.
Umm…I can’t say Dalai Lama is even close to being as rich as the richest religious person on Earth- The Pope. Moreover he lives like an immigrant in a foreign country (unlike owning a kingdom like the pope) among poor tibetan immigrants.
The Pope spends billions to spread Christian propaganda in developing nations. Religion is just another tool for white people to gain land (and now world power). It was used more openly by the Portuguese and the Spanish and now slyly by the Christian missionaries.
I agree with this comment.
Where is Pottery Barn?
Michelle, you getting annoyed is quite funny
seeing as though what you consider black
people having as a “free-for-all” and undeserved
#1, really IS appropriate and well deserved.
All that aside, even with all these
guilty apologetic things handed to blacks,
the amount of things white people have and get away with
will NEVER top blacks so don’t get mad at something
so trivial as this.
Yes, I am black.
Michelle: Go get knocked up already and shut your yapper.
Chadsano: Go knock up Michelle already… and stay away from the weekly White Power meetings you’ve been going to, you brainwashed jerkoff.
I think you both deserve each other.
ps – Do you really believe that we need “White Entertainment Television”? Isn’t that already 99% of the channels? If I have to watch another baseball game or flip-that-house show I’m gonna shoot myself!
Ive come on this to the conclusion that the reason white people like all of the shit on this website is the following:
If you got it like that why not experience more with your life.
Shit I golf, snowboard, rockclimb, mountain bike, live in manhattan, drive a fat asS bmw suv, fuck asian women, have plenty of black friends, got sweaters and motherfuckin t-shirts that I’LL wear on a plane to San FraCisco if I damn well fell like it. Shit Ill Even invite my lawyer to my beach house on a sunday for coffee while we read the fuckin New York Times. Yes the Liberal rag that sweats Barack Obama. After that we will indulge in some microbrews on my vintage sail boat.
When I get Bored ill travel the fuck where I want probably to snowboard somewhere usually Utah the whitest fuckin state there is. Ill take in some wine before I watch a film at sundance while I am there.
Just for a challenge I will go to a farmers market get some organic shit go home and order some sushi. You see I am trying to get in shape to run a fuckin marathon. After I finish the first thing I am going to do is shut of my i-pod loaded with free music, grab some bottled water and spark a fat mother fuckin spliff!!!!
YEAH I LOVE BEING AWARE OF DIVERSITY.
HOWEVER THE IRONY OF THIS WHOLE THING IS BEING WHITE FOR ME ONLY FOR ME!!! kICKS BIGTIME ASS!!
get over yourself. no one cares.
White people love to describe themselves as “agnostic”
So atheists are “irrational” and “religious” because they lack a belief in gods, demons, heavens, hells, ghosts, souls, spirits, miracles, revelations, holy books, etc.? Wow.
Are we all using the same dictionary?
Your right… no one does care but I’m having fun. Ridicule is a sign of envy. You shouldnt have taken 30 seconds out of your day to respond if you did not care. Good luck.
It doesn’t make you a hypocrite, it makes you honest. Unless you don’t approve of such behavior. Then it makes you a hypocrite.
Hmm…wonder if that coincides with white people being “agnostic”
ok, ok…
Stuff All People Like: Arguing about religion.
I think you guys need to back away from the theological bickering and remember that this is a humorous attempt at racial stereotyping.
White people also like organic cotton tees.

My mother was raised Roman Catholic and my father was raised Protestant… I was baptised Catholic… my mother apostasised… then around 20, under the influence of my mothers’ parents’ and some random I reconverted to Catholicism. Does that count?
(I’m not joking.)
true! i guess it depends on where you live though. where im from, being religious is socially unacceptable.
nope. what seems logical differs from person to person. trust me, being atheist to a religious person is equally as baffling as being religious is to an atheist. its all a matter of perception. many people consider atheism a religion because atheists are just as adamant about their belief in what happens after death as christians, muslims, hindus, ect. are.
The interest in Tantra is a classic example…….Tantra and her sisters are drastic, but enchanting opposites of Judeo-Christian systems.
Michelle, “Now where’s the whatblackpeoplelike website?”…yes, where is it? This would be awesome, fun and an instant success…!!
I’m Black and I thought that was hilarious… White People love blogs… that was definitely left out

by the way, you can’t convert to hinduism, you are born into it.
These responses are pretty funny. I think you all need to get a sense of humor and relax a bit. This site is hilarious.
This whole website really describes white liberals to a T. I should know because I live in White Liberal Central; the PAC NW.
And all this religion debate is just hilarious.
Thanks for the laughs….
LOL! YOU ARE MY HERO.
This actually describes me surprisingly well. Atheist in a family of die hard Christians.
I think that depends on what type of Hindu sect you’re in.
The temple that my family goes to has a couple of white converts.
And you can’t forget white Hare Krishna members passing out flyers to you on the subway! 😛
Well, white people like irony, but I’m pretty sure Christians don’t. Ah, the paradox…
“Spiritual but not religious” means: I like to read about Wicca or ‘The Secret’ or Tibetan Buddhism in a scented-candle-lit room drinking herbal teas and listening to monk-chanting on my iPod. Preferably while smoking some really good weed.
I just wish more “white people” (and everybody else, while I’m at it) would give up this whole spiritual and/or religious thing altogether. Sigh. Come back Carl Sagan! Your people need you! (Plus, we have some really good weed).
HILARIOUS!!!!!

Ethnoquest……too freaking funny !
Jeff illustrates one of R Dawkins’ pet peeves……..The God Delusion – great book:
Let children be raised as children, not Christian Children or Jewish Children…….
Raise, not brainwash, them to have an intelligent open mind capable of choosing their spiritual path when they are ready…….
But we really like religions that don’t involve
anyone or anything. You know, like the kind where you
don’t do anything on Sunday but take Aspirin
and play video games. Oh wait, that’s Atheism. Yeah,
that’s what we like.
We like atheism the best. It really annoys our religious parents and we get to brag about all the brilliant, famous atheists throughout history. Richard Dawkins has given this a huge boost.
Took the words out of my mouth Godless….
It doesn’t get much whiter than atheism, does it? I can’t think of any prominent black or Hispanic atheists.
Tenerife-
That’s only because you’ve probably never read anything on the history of atheism. Although it is true that agnosticism and disbelief has a strong tradition beginning during the Enlightenment, this doesn’t entail that white people are the only race that prefer science over religion.
Science over religion? Science describes, as best as we can figure, the processes of the natural world. Religion deals with the condition of man and man’s interaction with God (briefly stated). Saying science over religion suggests that you understand neither.
Are man and God not part of the natural world?
i don’t agree with you. how about Barack Obama? he was born in a muslin family, but he is Christian.
@ Protosschick: The concept that god is part of the natural world is called pantheism (the fancy, upscale version of that is deism). That is anathema to Judaism, Islam and biblical Christianity.
call it what you will- but I don’t believe in ghost stories
Wrong. Panthiesm is the belief that “God” IS the natural world. Or, more correctly, the Cosmos…all that exists.
The Cosmos is Divine, and the Earth is Sacred.
“God” is All, All is “God”.

So just because you are told that you have to believe something, means you have to??? Sorry but maybe you should learn alittle more about the world’s religions before you start speaking to them. Personally i could not take anymore of the accusations that 2/3 of the worlds population was going to hell because they didn’t believe what i was told to believe. Not to mention the bloody past of spreading “Gods” influence with a sword. I have no time or patients for a religion that condems people for not beliving what they do. This is a predjudice that has gone back through time. it has historically and continues to fuel wars. That is sad. it is the complete opposite of any teachings that i have ever read. Sounds like fear mongering to me. If what you’re parrents brought you up with works for you…. That is GREAT!!!! with full sincerity!!! I feel you need to make your connection with what ever entity you want to associate with what is commonly refered to as “God”, in a way that truly connects you. Good luck with your journies…..
i’m not a white person! what’s the purpose of this website?? it sounds discriminatory somehow!!
[…] I know that I am a bit late, but this is pretty hilarious! My favorite so far is #2 Religions that their parents don’t belong to: White people will often say they are “spiritual” but not religious. Which usually means that […]
Dude, it’s called humor.
“I hate white people. Those who like war are useless in this world”
funny funny
true I have jumped from a few of them…
but I go to the house of god ever week with my girl friend now….
lol
This is all a very white conversation.
Oh my. That is true!
All I can say is, the truth hurts.
I love when a comment reinforces the stereotype.
Religion is from the deep of heart..each person is different
Anyone who says they are “not religious but spiritual” should be kicked in the head repeatedly until they stop.
Question: Is God a white person?
I was under the impression that pantheism was the belief that god permeated the natural world, much like the Force in Star Wars. The idea of god being the natural world sounds wiccan or otherwise to me.
Contrary to popular belief, white people did not invent nor were they the first to perpetuate war. Although it seems I hear this all the time now. War, like religion, is universal to the human condition. Atheism is as much a religion as any “established” religion. It takes just as much faith to affirm such a world view, it just lacks the visual trappings. The truth is none of us “know” what’s on the other side of this life, but many of us strive for understanding. I found Jesus through the Coptic Orthodox Church answers my questions. Salam
“he WAS a Jew, but had no effect on the religion whatsover”…No effect…oh, you mean other than creating a world wide following; adored by millions, abhorred by billions; loved; feared; condemned for His preachings…now I see where you’re going with that. LOL!
ROTFL! It’s gotta be on the sign out front too!
I’d rather have people who say the opposite kicked in the head.
Spritiual, not religious implies agnosticism.
white people love blog commenting
“Spritiual, not religious implies agnosticism.”
How?
“Spirtiual not religious” usually implies some kind of wishy-washy love-all, serve-all embrace everything, steal everyone else’s religion approach to life…
First they steal your country, then they steal your religion.
White people: can’t live with them, can’t kill them (on account of the fact that they have all the biggest bombs).
White people should be allowed to join any religion they want but I think religions should all evoke some kind of Muslim condition of committment to root out the spiritual tourist. That is, you can join our religion but if you leave, we kill you. Seriously, that is the only solution, the only way to allow the true believer to flourish.
However, this may not always work. I once knew a girl (white, obviously) who went from Islam to Marxism to Buddhism in the space of a year. (She obviously did not get that knock on the door). I would love to here about any white person who can beat that in such a small time frame. In addition, she lost here faith whilst on Hajj – maybe she objected to everyone wearing white; too oppressive perhaps?
Also white people love to mention how Malcolm X came to love the white man after going on Hajj – this being the ultimate proof of how wonderful and tolerant Islam is.
Look, I’m not against white people, some of my best friends are white.
Unfortunately, you’re correct. But I’m doing my best to help my fellow Latinos cast off their silly superstitions. While Hispanics are rarely atheists, they are very open to experiential mysticism, freemasonry, rosicrucianism, gnosticism, and the like. At least these movements tend to eschew passive blind faith.
As for Black atheists…I don’t know, but I think Redd Foxx may have been one. I can’t remember where I heard that…
Btw, are you from Tenerife? I have ancestors from Lanzarote.
religion is simply historical anthropology, it’s how the world has preserved it’s clan system on a global basis – (or as a muslim from NYU told me – “Hijab is a way to give the 2nd cousins a chance”) Keep ’em ugly out inna big world, chat em up safely in the family enclave – doesn’t matter which religion, it’s all about making the group of eligible egg donors tractable.
Quakers have just as many dress rules as hasids – it’s just not written down. The more likely a woman might wake up, realize their ‘religion’ had no mojo or personal meaning or transcendent philosophy — just lots of bizarre rules – the tighter the dress rules and the pickier the corollaries, inches of leg covered, or no flax and wool in the weave – which by itself is anthropological – bcuz HERDERS (sheep) and FARMERS (flax) are different tribes. So the interdiction against two kids of threads are simply a way of keeping the WOMEN down in the valley or up on the hill. Jeesh. religion = history of settlement patterns. that is all.
God transcends race and gender.
You’re so stupid it hurts my eyes to read.
Seriously, this website is one of the most disgusting, useless pieces shit I have seen in my life. You spew facts which have as much depth as a kiddie pool, I don’t care because that’s just your own stupidity, but what ticks me off is you’re riling up a new generation of borderline retards like yourself, and stretching the gap between whites and black which so many strong, dedicated people have worked and even died to close. White people like Priuses and organic food, then I one can assume black people like fried chicken and watermelons? cut the crap and go back to school you fool!
I am not sure about warermelon but fried chicken fo’sheezy. Dont get ticked off, mocking the differences is not “stretching the gap”.
I love this website!!! Whoever thinks this website is about trying to push races apart is ignorant.
Is it because I is black?
I’ve transcended religion and spirituality – I’m now enlightened! Seriously, people use that phrase simply to convey that they disagree or are embarrassed by their previous religious beliefs and now have found “the truth.” They don’t like to admit it, and would adamantly deny this, but they are no different than Mormons and Baptists when it comes to believing their way is the right way. It makes them feel just as special to aver that they’ve found this new truth.
as a white hindu who just graduated with a masters degree, who is vegetarian, loves california rolls, recycling, dinner parties, and musical comedy; i love the ironic nature of this whole blog. yea sure it’s kind of racist but who cares. don’t take it personally. if ya can’t laugh at yourself then you shouldn’t laugh at anyone else.
PS: us white folk in the northern part of the u.s. love hockey too 😛
Dude, I think it’s all funny. Maybe the next topic should be “saying how much smarter they are then everyone else”
I think it’s great if someone doesn’t just blindly follow whatever religion they were spoon fed while growing up.
Religion is supposed to be personal. It’s not a race. It IS something you can research and choose for yourself. It is a belief that is yours, not your family’s.
It’s a shame that so many people (every race) grow up having no clue of this.
If one thing sure transcends race, it’s hatred!
It is amazing how each person who has commented has missed the point completely. It never was or is about religion. Religion is how you practice not what you practice. So for example someone could be christian and not be religious and still attend church. Also, church is the people not the building or the religion.
it’s “hear”.

I have to ask, do they teach spelling in American schools anymore? Or are people too “gifted” and “creative” to be grammatically correct? (checking own spelling for typos)
I’m a little shocked at the lack of sense of humor people have in regard to personal subjects. It seems the most religious are the most frightened/offended by others’ choices (yes, I meant to make that plural possessive). Oh, and I wasn’t an English major, I’m an Artist (actually working, actually paid, actually educated, paid for myself). I am actually also Athiest but not at all offended by your need to believe or fear of going to hell.
but gosh, can any of you people lighten up? (and yes, I meant you people, me people, all people) If we could all relax a little and poke fun of our own selves like the author of the blog you might have one extra smile on your face to share each day. We are all imperfect… so go ahead… spell anyway you want.
(I often misspell favorite and weird –ha, spellcheck just spanked me!)
and now it’s your turn to laugh at me.. go ahead, I dare you.
white people like to be offended… hmm.
um, white entertainment television, how many channels do you have?
white college fund, when I was in school was called Pell Grants, Stafford Loans
White History Month.. gosh, you want a MONTH too? Open the history books taught in American elementary and high schools, start tallying the white and black famous people, er, men.
are you that offended to see people celebrate that you forget how frickin white this country is and still so afraid to blend. I’m sure glad they let the French Canadians in, and the Germans, and the English, and the ….
okay, stepping of my own soapbox.. going to work
who needs atheism to be a religion? I could give a rat’s ass what anyone labels it.
high five.
welcome to personal responsibility.
lol that’s me. the buddhist with christian parents. i feel so white now.
He transcends race because he is sooo white, but he acts asian.
yes.
this is so true lol
You also forgot to capitilize “but” in the third paragraph. To be truthful you also forgot your comma after but. It should be “But, gosh, can…”
White people love correcting grammar.
White people also love turning a joke into a seriously deep discussion, and that discussion suuuuuucks. It sucks bad.
It also really pisses athiests off when they go to the “Fathers of scientific fields” page on wikipedia and see how many of them were Priests or otherwise religious people…. silly athiests… they smell like cheese.
FUNFACT: Barack Obama is considered a “murtedd” according to legitimate ‘Shari’a’ Islamic law. This means it is all Muslims’ obligation to ask him to come back to Islam, and if he doesn’t after three days, they are required to kill him.
Also, do you think it was the white half of Obama that made him choose a religion that wasn’t half of his parents’ [i.e. his father’s]?
No, but the fact you think we are all interested, and furthermore, the fact you made what could have been an adequite post a ridiculously stupid one by adding “(I’m not joking.)” only shows how white you are, and how much all the rest of us white folk hate you for it.
Next to the Panera.
You also need to convert to some spaces and a spellcheck. By the way, your not white, your Arab, and therefore probably Muslim since birth, meaning you have never tried any other religion because if you did, you’d be a Murtedd, and you’d be dead. The lack of spacing between your sentences and your periods, as well as your poor grasp of how to properly capitalize, gives you away. It’s a common mistake Arabs make when typing or writing in English. Good try on your “da’wa”, though.
White people love to talk about “labels”, and how they are arbitrary.
Yeah, but you’re wrong. Grace isn’t going to do poop for you, she thinks your a dick for not giving props to J.C. since salvation is through Him alone.
I’m totally with you, people shouldn’t be quick to diss scientology, they should diss scientology slowly, and annunciate their words, so that way the stupid scientologists can understand them [BURN!]. Also, I think diss should be spelt dis, since it’s from “disrespect” and not “dissrespect”.
That’s not true, Turkey isn’t Arab, nor is Iran, nor is Indonesia or Malaysia. Wait… time for a funfact…
FUNFACT: There are more non-Arab Muslims than Arab Muslims.
Also, to the first guy: “Actually, Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and Europe today, with women forming the majority of all converts to Islam.”… and this is why women shouldn’t be allowed to vote…
Wow, you’re gay.
Ahhh, a false sense of nationalism… hey why don’t you go shit on an untouchable, douchebag.
i think we shuld spell shuld correctly, and also spell Spitiual correctly, because otherwise it looks like you have some sort of saliva issue. and we shuld capitalize sentances so we don’t live ot the the steriotype that people who study wicca are stupid.
Hey!!!! Americans is spelt with a capital A! WOOOOOH! USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA!
No. White people hate truth, are ambivilant about equality, and think justice smells like tuna.
No you don’t, because, I’m sorry to tell you, you were adopted. You’re real parents are Lutheran.
Dude, you’re an idiot, if you, as a Christian, think Christ came down to make it easier for you to get to heaven so you didn’t have to slaughter an animal…. well then, you are an idiot. Educate yourself, http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/p122a3p1.htm#I

I can’t believe how many people think that college somehow makes people more intelligent.
Dude, you are an idiot.
Let me tell you about the immutable retardedness of your “scientific miracles” that were just proven “scientifically” in the past few years. Muhammad did not fly on a unicorn to the temple in Jerusalem. The Quran first instructs people that it’s ok to drink alcohol, but not while praying, and then tells people that you can’t drink at all. If the Quran is the literal word of God, and God suspends space and time, and predestination is truth (as Sunni’s believe, which I imagine you are, as most people who convert convert to Sunni Islam), then how the hell did God forget the first time that you can’t drink at all, or, how did God forget he already made the first rule. Oh, and in the Quran it says Jesus made some clay pigeons and blew life into them with his mouth and they became real pigeons. This is from Apocrypha and can be found in stories that precede Jesus’ time on earth.
Muslims, stop trying to convert people through posting to blogs, its tacky.
This is actually the most brilliant post I have read so far.
It’s because some races and religions are better than others.
I already commented on your post… on this exact same post… you posted it twice… for an Indian you suck at computers. That’s how I know Hindu is a false religion.
But nobody asked you, because your opinion is irrelevant.
FUNFACT: The term “Caucasian”, to be used in place of “white” or “of european descent”, actually has an incredibly racist history, and was invented and propagated by Christoph Meiners and Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, respectively, whose “scientific” studies lead to the racist ideologies found in Nazism.
Does that mean white people who classify themselves as Caucasian are Nazis? The answer is yes.
Again, white people’s love of correct grammar strikes again. Alissa, you are awesome.
DJ- It’s ‘your’, not ‘you’re’ … if you are going to correct other people incessantly on their grammar, you better make sure yours is perfect. And by the way dj- you really bring a lot of stupidity and negativity to this blog. Do you have friends in real life? Be honest now…
What is it with people going on these long diatribes about their own life stories… we get it, you’re white… and annoying.
Whoops, you are a “Muslimah” blogger, I didn’t realize that…… so I guess you already aren’t allowed to vote…. BURN!
(Fore everyone else, Muslimah is the feminine form of Muslim in Arabic.)
I totally apoligize for the double “the” and the ot which is supposed to be out. White grammar guilt.
Oh you caught me!!!! And if you think I bring the stupidity and negativity, then you are sorrily mistaken, it was here well before I arrived, have you read these posts?! Yes I have friends in real life, but not this fake one, and the name Diana is stupid.
Diana, I have to confess… I’m sorry about the whole name thing… I feel really bad about that. But, would you mind pointing out which posts bring negativity and which bring stupidity? Or do all bring both? Do the FUNFACTs bring stupidity? How can a fun fact bring anything but enlightenment? And it’s right there in the title, they are FUN! Fun can’t be negative!
Also, for your own self respect, do yourself a big favor, and read the comments I’ve made about correcting grammar, and how white people LOVE to do it…. wait a second… are you white too?!?
Aww.. I see that I hurt your feelings. I believe the word you were attempting to spell was ‘sorely’… not ‘sorrily’
And in regards to calling my name stupid, I think when you have to resort to personal attacks and insults in your argument; you clearly have lost.
Give it a rest.
No, I meant sorrily, as in an adjective of sorry, as in you are sorry that you are mistaken, but don’t worry I accept your apology. And you haven’t hurt my feelings, I actually think I’m beginning to fall for you. And you are wrong about personal attack and insults means that I have lost, I’m a winner because I can spend so much time with you. I do want to make sure though, I replied to you twice, the FUNFACTS… I gotta say, they are pretty enlightening, do you really not like them? If anything THAT is what might hurt my feelings.
With all my love,
Your Dearest DJ
Dear DJ,
Shhh you’re making too much noise. Turn off the computer and go to bed. Any ad hominem response usually means you’ve lost the arguement.
Fondly,
Diana
PS- Your fun facts are neither fun nor factual. Here’s some kleenex.
Hi i’m dj and i’m a homo.
You’re right… Diana is a stupid name. I think I’ll use this one instead. 🙂
You forget those of us who’d rather protest Scientology than be part of it. Many of anonymous are white.
Curious? Google: “anonymous scientology”.
Cheers!
First off they are all factual, not a single one in unverifiable… secondly I am a homo, which is why I’m, unfortunately, going to have to call off our engagement. Diana, why do you hate the gays? I find you comments against them ad hominem, (REALLY good job, I had to look that word up!) And I could care less if I lose, I enjoy your time, and that’s what matters.
Your friend,
DJ
Sorry I know you’ll jump on me for this, I meant, “is unverifiable”
Both of my parents were catholic and I turned out Jewish………lol
Anonymous is all of us and none of us
heathen bastard. if you are white worship odin. i worship the sun god of my tribe. dont bow to a mesopotamian god who is only worshiped by khazar scum today (jews)
I’m catholic my parents were catholic. I may not follow other belief structures but I respect them. Whats the big deal
If i see another one of these stupid 4chan people i am moving to canada.
Religion scares me. I blame Tom Crusie.
oy vey, damn u goyim, i hope u all mix with blacks and mexicans so we can all be a sea of brown like brazil. thats diversity for you. everyone looks the same!
Here’s a funfact for yourself: ‘Homo’ is latin for ‘man’, in the original sense of ‘human being’ or ‘person’. I essentially called you a human being, and you accuse me of being homophobic? I LOVE the gays; they’re fierceeee! Besides, I don’t feel it’s necessary to call off our engagement just because you are in a period of experimentation. 🙂
Hugs and kisses,
D
PS- You used ‘ad hominem’ in the wrong context. It’s latin for ‘personal attack’, not a synonym for ‘offensive’.
PPS- Did you know that ‘PS’ is latin for ‘post scriptum’?
My Christian parents raised an anthiest.
You should read #101.
Yuck, Jews…
Ur funny
love is my religion. :]
many paths, one light.
And He died on a Roman cross, in order to make you holy in the eyes of His Father, so that you would have the chance to escape the pit of hell when you die. Judgment day is comming, how will you meet Jesus? With Him as your Savior, or as your judge? He has said that if you deny Him before men, He will deny you before God, and before the holy angels.
I can tell you that God hates religion. What He wants are people who belive in Him, have faith in Him, and obey Him with a loving heart. Religion has nothing to do with salvation. Religion is the practice of men, but “salvation” is a free gift that God gives to anyone who will accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. The Bible says in the book of Romans: If you will believe with your heart, and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Savior and Lord, you shall be saved.”
Kim, you are decieved by the enemies of the One True God. “This says the God of Israel, ‘I am the Father.’ The Bible says that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. No my friend, God is in no way “transsexual”. That is evil, and is from the father of lies, also known as Satan.
Elliot, God does exist, no matter if you think He does or not.
I will tell you this, see what you can find out for yourself…
The sun is shrinking at a rate of about 120 feet per day. If the universe was billions of years old, how large would the sun be back then, and where would the earth be?
Also, I will tell you that “matter”, the substance that the entire universe is made of, is not living, and can not create it’s own existence. It must be brought into being by a higher, and more powerful being. Those who buy that “Big Bang” religious nonsense, have a huge problem on their hands. In their thinking, all of creation sprang forth from a state of nothingness.
Well, it all had to have a “Creator for it to have a “start”. If there was nothing there to begin with, which there would have been before all things were here, I ask you, how would it all just “appear” on it’s own, especially since it would have all been non-living matter? If what you said in your comment is how you define “free thinking”, you might want to try and free your mind from that foolishness.
Also here is another little tid bit for you to think on: The earth is rotating at about 1,048 miles per hour towards the East, all day and all night. But it is also a known fact that the earth’s rotation is slowing down. If you were to work out the rate of it’s decline, then reverse your calcualtions to go backwards in time, how fast would the earth be spinning?
At the time that “evolutionists” say that the dinosaurs existed, the Coriolis Effect that the Earth’s rotation would have had on the wind, it would have caused the wind to blow at about 5,000 miles per hour day and night.
The Bible says: “The fool says in his heart that there is no God.”
Add Sufism to the list. It’s full of stuff white people like like : it focuses on “practice,” cultivates Awareness, and, significantly, offers many quotable references to the goodness of of Wine. Also, Muslim white people who face the inconvenience of liking Islam can waggle their way into digging Religions that their parents don’t belong to while remaining Muslims. White people who weren’t born Muslims gain the opportunity of embracing Diversity, Being Offended (by the Wrong kind of white people), and Being an Expert on YOUR Culture. Travel to Istanbul or Tabriz affords the experience of being The Only White Person Around while also enjoying Coffee and Tea.
“any religion that doesn’t involve Jesus”?
Islam venerates Jesus as a Prophet. Moses, Abraham and many others are also Prophets whom Muslims love and respect.
Atheism is not a religion, it does not involve “believing” in anything… I don’t “believe” that there is no god, I “know” that there is no god. It takes faith to believe in a god, it doesn’t take faith to be an atheist. Religion implies that you are subservient, that you submit yourself to a divine being.
Stop bending the truth to fit your own insecurities about your religion.
There are some real wackos posting here, like the Nazi above… WTF dude?
religious beliefs are imposed on children by their parents, it’s only natural that at some point in their lives they will question them and try to rationalize what they have been taught to think/believe is “true”.
Religions are for lazy people who can’t be bothered with reading a bit more and learning about science.
Believing that Jesus really existed is right up there with believing in the tooth fairy.
You should read history before making a comment like this in public. Even people who can’t stand Jesus (see Jesus Seminar) don’t dispute he lived on Earth.
And since when did religion and science start to be viewed as incompatible?
My parents don’t belong to any religion…I did read half of Dianetics. It’s good for an engram causing laugh. I opened up the bible too and found that it’s much like trying to read the New York Times.
I’m amazed at how all Christian haters can critique Christianity with an intellectual eye but can’t investigate the religion thoroughly with the same eye. It’s easy to shun, and sure a lot easier to live without, but having to commit to something sure seems like a hassle and an inconvenience for your materially-minded concerns.
Moreover, if you take a look at what SWPL guy is writing, he’s spot-on in his assessment of white people here.
Moonshine am a religion, ain’t it? I is white an’ these-hear obsermervashums am mos’ly kerrect.
Gawd dun give us Shine, so’s it wood be a sin not tu drink ‘er up.
Mah folks wuz hard-shell snake-handlers. I tried it but give up wen that dang snake got into the Shine jug an’ died. We dun finished the Shine but it didn’t taste no good.
Well said. Most are too distracted by their ego to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
hey c’mon where’s neopaganism in that list?
Back in the day, we would just get interested in Alistaire Crowley and Satanism and leave it at that. That complemented our desire to drink, smoke pot, and hang out with really, really slutty girls.
Overthinking rebellion I guess is another thing white people like.
Hating Christianity lets you earn your “I’m educated” white-culture badge without going through all the trouble of actually learning anything.
[…] think our modern age denigrates those who belong to the religion of their parents. Somehow, one gains intellectual respectability merely by converting to another religion, or at […]
You forgot Wicca. White people like to convert to Wicca because it scores them major bad-ass points and causes their personal shock value to skyrocket. It’s also a great way to stick it to their lame, narrow, conformist, totally-not-with-it Christian parents.
I’m not talking about the crusty version of Wicca that has rules, ethics, traditions, a theology and a history. If you’re going to undergo such trivial rites like learning about the religion to which you plan to convert, you might as well be Christian, Jewish or Muslim…LAME-O! No, white people are drawn the totally customizable, all-inclusive type of Wicca inspired by new-age hippie authors, the kind where you get to make up your own beliefs, just slap on the label “Wicca” and you’re good to go. You don’t even have to buy into the whole Goddess thing–you can be an atheist and still be a good Wiccan. The only rule of Create-Your-Own Wicca is that you are to have nothing to do with God or Jesus Christ, because that would make you a narrow-minded bigot. You can worship the Virgin Mary, though.
Every hip white person knows religion isn’t about finding deeper meaning, fulfilling a higher purpose, spiritual transformation, personal growth or any of that shallow, uneducated hick crap–it’s all about EXPRESSING yourself! Wicca is STATEMENT, not a way of life. When you sport your giant penty-gram necklace, you’re telling your excruciatingly redneck town that their oppressive, witch-burning religion can kiss your tattooed ass–you’re open-minded, bad-ass and totally unique, just like all the other Wiccans.
In time, white people become irritated to find Christians consistently meeting their Wiccan lifestyle with indifference. This is a tragic realization, as the whole point of becoming Wiccan in the first place is to enjoy the benefits of being a persecuted minority, but what’s the use when nobody seems interested in persecuting you? The best way to lose your white friend’s interest is to engage in a conversation like this:
YOU: So you’re Wiccan, huh?
WHITE PERSON: Yes. I am an independent thinker and I have no use for your hate and dogma. All I need is Earth and Nature. I’m a witch. I do witchcraft, like, all the time. I bet you’re scared. I bet you think that’s EVIL or something. But, unlike you, I have allowed myself to make the liberating discovery that there is no such thing as evil. Except Republicans—Republicans are evil.
YOU: That’s nice.
Fortunately, if you are a white person, there is one tried-and-true method of getting the negative attention you crave: just launch a personal attack on a Christian. As if hit by Magic(k)(que), he or she will suddenly display negative feelings toward you, and, if you play your Tarot cards right, start arguing with you about religion. (Wait–negativity and disagreement ARE forms of persecution, right?)
Yep, you’re right–war has always been an exclusively white phenomenon. I mean, go to Africa–that’s a total oasis of peace, man. I mean, it’s not like you ever hear about Arabs murdering thousands of innocent Americans, right? And now that you mention it, I can’t think of a single time Japan has ever bombed another country.
Oh, wait…
“…some denominations are freakish and say that sex for any purpose other than to concieve [sic] is wrong, but they’re idiots…however, the Bible also says not to judge others.”
Non-judgment FAIL.
I am a Methodist. They hug occasionally and in urban areas often run soup kitchens. John Wesley believed that Christianity involved work.
As a person of half Egyptian and 1/4 Anglo-Saxon + 1/4 Celtic descent I feel that it is foolish to hold any religion at all with any sort of seriousness.
Discordianism is a funny one to me because none of the practitioners of it take it seriously at all. It’s even called a parody religion by a lot of people because it pretty much is.
Is scientology still a “white” “religion”
This is why I asked
Isn’t grammar another one of the things white people like?
Yep, and this is probably why you’re a white person.
Nice job outing yourself there buddy.
I sort of became a buddhist, but then I realized how toolish it was to rebel for no rational reason at all. This is probably only because I’m not white.
Power to you though.
Hey maybe you’re just lame?
Losing her faith on hajj? Maybe she just didn’t like the feeling of being like everyone else. I mean, there are thousands of people doing the hajj at the same time wearing the same thing…
Probably made her feel less edgy. I could see that.
Yeah, you’re just a little bit slow. Don’t worry about it. Apparently according to this site, white people are too.
Good luck on yours to the “Land of Lightening Up Because This Was Just An Innocent Social Commentary”
yupperz 🙂
I enjoy people that track their descent to the level of being 1/4 of something and 1/4 of something else lol. Where were you born? US? then you are AMERICAN! you may have a background in your family that is i don’t know Spanish that does not mean you are 1/4 spanish hahaha. I love how people dissect their family history to find someone was native american or english or any other nationality and then proceed to call themselves 1/4 whatever they are lol. YOU ARE THE NATIONALITY OF THE COUNTRY YOU WERE BORN IN.
I hate mormons! Everyone in my family is Catholic except my cousin, she is a mormon!
a minute kitchen, islam “took” them(jesus , abraham, jacob…) them and appropriate them saying that theirs books are false ….
mahomet put a knife in jesus back, he stole his role , denied that he was crucified ad resurected, and showed him as any minor prophet , all that to make a place for himself, as the best and last prophet ! big fallacy!!
he , the terrorist, rapist pedophile, war criminal , a “husband” for more than 66 women including aicha a girl he bought from her father at the age of 6! and f” at 9!
he also took , by force his son in law’ wife zaynab and married her
not to mentionne saffiya , the jewish he took by force after killing her father, husband and allmen of the jewish tribe , sold women and children and bought weapons to oursuit his “divine” apostole …
stop laying
go to islamexplained.com to know what is really islam
muslims are leaving islam by thousands , even the scholars in religious science are leaving the mahomet’doctrine
nationality, ethnicity and race are slightly more complicated than your little rant would suggest. the subject of this post is religion, which is intertwined in different ways to these things depending on who you are and where you are from. more importantly, this is a suppose to be a humorous, lighthearted blog to entertain and make people smile.
when you are an asshole to strangers, you’re still an asshole.
Do you hate bigots, too? Oh, I guess for you that would be called “self-loathing.”
WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!
2 the dumbasses:
Nationality: The nation you are born in. Or the nation of your ethnic group by right of blood.
Race: Caucasoid, Negroid, Australoid, Mongoloid
Ethnicity: Englishmen, Germans, Arabs, and Ethiopians are all Caucasians. But as anyone can tell, they are quite different. Your ethnic group is your basic affiliation. IE, “I am a white German, or “I am an Asian of Japanese descent”
Religion: Any race can believe in any religion it is not coded into DNA.
One of my best friends in mormon. He and his family are probably one of the nicest, most decent people around, but I think their religion has the oddest rules, as if it’s a cult. Like he is sixteen and not even allowed to kiss some one before marriage, and he can’t date outside his religion. Or maybe his family just tells him that.
i fuck you don’t be a silly what fuck man
if you spend a day in the deep south you will be asked at least 20 times what church you go to and the question will be worded like this “so which baptist do yall go to”
MAY I POOP ON U?
California rolls usually have crab meat in them =D
it’s simple why she left Islam in the hajj : during that idolatry to whorship Satan (not Allah ) and the Black Stone several women simply get men’s hand in (excuse me , this is real ) the … Ass
The Allah who offers to “believers” a big brothel with highly skilled and beautiful prostitutes and who made his “prophet” saying : i love 3 things : sex, perfume and eating is not so spiritual to give his men the strengh to resist tentation even during this festival of idolatry called hajj
Singh
Go to Islamexplained.com and lifetv.tv , you will see what a big lie Islam is .
it was explained piece by piece from an egyptian scholar , christian who said the truth : muhammed is a liar , a criminal , a pedophile, an incest man , not the son of his father (his mother is a bitch) not the father of his daughter ( his first wife is a bitch , he got 66 wives includind zaynab , his son’s in law Zayd ), a robber ….
what do you think that happened ? since all is in early islamics writings , not in arabic , not a plot from jews or christians , they found nothing to say when he told them to respond
The “academic” response by a “highly” cheikh is :*
you are a pig
you are a monkey …
what an academic response !
they put a price on his head : £60M for who kills him !!
they are courageous guys !!!
google Botros zakaria and you will quit islam singh if you are a truth_seeker
Not really true. Someone born of 2 different immigrants will not be as “American” as someone else born to two different white American parents, neither in the eyes of their respective cultures, nor amongst americans. Especially true if that someone is not white.
Assimilation takes time.
Not quite right.. I was born in Germany. Does that make me German? No. I’m an American Citizen. I’m 1/4 German, 1/2 American, 1/4 African American. So good luck figuring that one out.
wow its true
nah u can kiss, its just you know, the emphasis is on respect for each other and not letting it escalate into heavier stuff
i dont think its cult like, just peculiar
its encouraged to date other people with the same religious affiliation cos you’ll have the same values and standards and you wont have to explain to the other person why you wont drink etc
imagine the awkwardness of say a muslim girl with a WBC boy or something
Having faith does not make you lazy, or close minded. Those who are athiests have such “faith” in the non-existance of God, that they are actually the small minded ones for not even entertaining the possibility.
I really do feel sorry for athiests, It is pretty telling when the on campus group for “humanists” on campus at Minnesota is the acronym CASH.
As for his critique, its spot on. Religion and/or belief sets are too casually chosen these days with little thought to the original intent of the message. “New Age” relgions like Buddism are markedly different in their country of origen because they require sacrifice unlike the watered down American versions.
“Spirituality” frees people from actually believing anything or having to explain why you believe what you do. I am Orthodox Christian which requires sacrifice, meditation and the commitment to a lifestyle/world view that is NOT a fad.
Sorry, but Jesus is in the Quraan, but as a prophet.

Fuck you asshole. Go suck Jesus cock somewhere else.
Miss Vicious,
I just want to straighten out some of the erronious history and timing of events that have been going on in this discussion.
I agree that Islam is a separate religion from Judaism and Christianity, although all three are Abrahamic religions. Judaism is, of course the oldest, starting with Abraham about 4000 years ago. Christianity started as a branch of Judaism about 2000 years ago, and Islam was started by Mohamed and his followers about 1400 years ago. Christians accept the entire Old Testament but believe that the New Testament scriptures supersede some of the Old Testament laws. Islam was started by Arabs who were familiar with both Christianity and Judaism. Mohamed incorporated his beliefs into the Koran, which Moslems believe is a correction to the Christian and Jewish scriptures.
How do you know that there is no God? Can you prove it? The fact is that there is no way to prove that God does not exist. Just like you can’t prove that a squirl didn’t walk across your street a 3:15 pm yesterday. You cannot say, therefore, that you know that there is no God. You can, however, say that you believe that there is no God, but that does not make it a fact.
I am a Jew. Does that count as white? My Dad was Jewish so I am the same as my Dad.
So true!
West Elm and Restoration Hardware do not sell crucifixes, or rosaries.
It’s actually pretty condescending, if you think about it. “Oh what a charming little religion those people have! That Buddha would look great in the yard, you know, over where the dog craps. “
True! Sometimes it’s a bit scary…
Wow, you’re about as ignorant as they come. The debate with most people of at least reasonable intelligence is to the divinity of Christ, not his existence. The existence of the man Himself is documented in secular writings as well as Christian. If you’re going to be a malcontent bigot, at least try to be an informed one.
Just remember: Its LeviOsa, not LeviosA
to the people getting upset or mocking or commenting on the “white” need for deep discussion on this humor site:
Do humor and deep discussion need to be separate? Is there some unspoken “Separation of Laugh and Thought” rule here? Or can the two go hand in hand?
I like having both. It makes the discussion a little lighter and not so heavy on your mind as you grind out your philosophies on life and sushi and white people and stuff. And jokes are often good conversation starters.
Bottom line: Its natural that these discussions start. Don’t try to fight it. People like a good debate once in a while.
But that’s fine if you want to keep it separate. How about you just skip over the deep stuff and only read the humorous? Then we’re all happy 🙂

Judaism is generally passed along through the mother, not the father.
Ouch! My white skin just got burned with that truth. I’ll need to wear my TPF (truth protection factor) 50 next time I’m out, because my white skin is so thin it gets burned easily.
Yeah, seriously! I always think when I see “boutiquey” renditions of Buddhist & Hindu symbology sold at premium prices — the same white folks who love showing off to their yuppie friends how “worldly” they are would go down to the border and see traditional Mexican christianity (Madonnas, rosaries, and a whole lot of naming chlidren “Jesus”) as either fanatical, or “quaint” in a culturally-retarded sort of way, while a white person who loves far east stuff is “anthropological.”
Rastafari … peace and love!
I love how it is no longer necessary to think logically about religious statements unless you happen to be Christian.
All religions are one, no matter how incredibly different their beliefs and philosophies of life are? Right on/far out/keep on truckin’!
“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through me”? That’s ignorant, dog.
Right, because similarities between religions obviously mean that they are all EPIC FAILS… right?
I mean, it’s not possible that God would try to let people know about His existence and therefore people might happen to get similar ideas about God because they were the- wait for it- the… could it be?… RIGHT ones? No, no, if there’s a God He’s obviously a moron incapable of doing anything but predictable things that humans could guess. How silly of me. I forgot that mankind is officially the most awesomest thing ever. Sorry, secular humanists.
If you don’t believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior you will probably have a very uncomfortable eternity.
I suggest you contemplate where you will be spending eternity.
Bob Marley said it best “One Love”!
Yep. And that’s exactly what religion should do.
Right. If I survive death in a physical form then I guess it will be very uncomfortable.
Are you a white Rasta?

The most segregated time in America is on Sundays at 11am…White folk love Jesus (whom they cannot see), but hate their fellow man (non-whites) whom they see everyday….
One of the main tenants of being a ‘TRUE CHRISTIAN’ is to love and show compassion for your fellow man, yet we see everyday on FOX and on conservative talk shows—so-called conservative white christians talking about loving Jesus in one breath, then denigrating non-white people in the next breath…..
Gandi said the the biggest problem with christianity is that: christians don’t live what they preach…
Just for the record, being a muslim has plenty to do with Jesus (peace be upon him).
I agree.
Amen!
peace be with u
Bob Marley said it best: “One Love”! — Rastafari rock on!
Do you know how Rastas feel about homosexuals?
Can you give me an example of Fox denigrating non-white people who did nothing wrong please? (but I guess if you are a christian you are not allowed to point out something wrong.)
I know many christians who are afraid to identify themselves because if they make one mistake non-christians scream GOTCHA!! POINT POINT, HEY EVERYONE!!! THERE IS A CHRISTIAN HERE DID SOMETHING WRONG!!!!
Why is it the only religion you feel does not practice what they preach? You think just because someone becomes christian they can only be perfect? You think maybe religion is a guideline?
Even if religion is only to control the masses, I for one do not want to live in a free for all world.
I have no religion and don’t feel it a threat, if religion gives someone peace, hope, or mental help, I wish them well.
I don’t think Gandi knew every christian.
Shande, you make some valid points, but you missed the point that i was trying to make….
People who claim that they are christian, and preach to others that because you are not like them you are going to hell, and then in one breath say they love Jesus (whom they cannot see), but in the next breath hate their fellow human (whom they see everyday), then in a third breath tell you that all life is sacred, while following that statement up with ‘i’m for the death penalty’…these are the type of christians i am talking about….
If you qualify as this type of christian (and most conservative, fundamentalist so-called christians fall in this catagory), then you are correct….we do not need to hear you point out other people’s wrongs but nor your own….and the Fox channel is the place where you see these type of people most often (to give you an example, Sarah Palin said that she is only going to give extended interviews to the Fox channel from now on to the end of the election….she considers herself a conservative christian…need i say more?)
Christians DO NOT NEED to announce to people if they are christian or not..people will know if you are a christian by how you treat your fellow man, and not by what you say…..
if you study the Bible, you will read that Jesus let his WORKS show who he is…BEFORE he did any talking…it seems that so-called Christians are first to speak up and let the world know that they are christian (as if calling yourself a christian will get you into heaven), but after they make their announcement, the words they cannot ever seem to say is FORGIVENESS ….oh, they are anxious to ask God for forgiveness of their sins, but giving forgiveness to their fellow man??….hell no! (That is why the so-called Bible Belt states are all PRO-DEATH PENALTY…and in the Bible, God said “Vengence is mine, sayeth the Lord”…I did not read anywhere in the Bible that said that God told christians that they are supposed to carry out God’s vengence….
As for your point about religion…..you obviously do not know the history about Gandi….Do you know who were the people who occupied his country and made his people 3rd class citizens???…..the ‘christian’ British….who came to:
conquer
colonialize
civilize, and
christianize his country, India…
(These are the four basic ‘food’ groups that make up fundamentalist, conservative christianity throughout history)
…
now, if you were one of the victims of these Brits, who claim that they were christians, would you have a favorable view on christianity??….I think not…
…that is why Gandi said that the problem with christianity is that christians do not practice what they preach…
And here in america….the most segregated time in america is at 11am on Sunday mornings…….Did you know that the KKK, skinheads, and Nazis considered themselves christian?
My point is this: religion, when used as a weapon, is the most dangerous thing on this planet…..if religion is used go give someone peace, then it is the best thing on this earth…but unfortunately, fundamentalist, conservative christianity is hypocritical christianity….it does not uplift, forgive, include, help, comfort…..it is an evil type of christianity…it denigrates, does not include forgiveness, exclude people not like themselves, does not offer hope nor help to people not like them, and most of all, it does not give anyone comfort, unless you are one of them….
booombakla
louiecoolgato, Thanks for your reply.
I guess I have really never been exposed to christians like the ones you referred to, Sigh…I guess I don’t get out much ):
The christians i’ve known have been so humble, caring, honest etc. they try so hard, but are so often put down. I feel sorry for them. They are not perfect, it’s true, but I have at times, wished I could be more like them.
Don’t you think a lot of people have hidden behind, and used different religions to do horrific things, like K.K.K.?
Would you explain your reference to Sarah Palin on Fox? I think she gets ripped so unfairly by the MSM while the others get doted on, I kinda don’t blame her. Does that make her bad?
Sorry, I have so many questions. (:
Shande, you would be an excellent example of a christian if you chose to do so……the ‘christians’ that you know personally are not the type of ‘christians’ i spoke about….if they are how you describe them, then they are truly excellent examples of how christians should be….what they might try doing is stop telling everyone that they are christians….if people see their good works and kindness, the people will eventually ask them who they are, then they can tell people that they are christians, because the people asked…
You are absolutely correct when you state that a lot of people hide behind, and use different religions to do horrific things, and i believe that people who call themselves ‘conservative, fundamentalist christians’ are these very people…..Let me explain:
Christianity has many many ‘religions’ under its umbrella. …Baptists, catholic, unitarian, AME, etc, etc….but the thing that all these religions SHOULD be practicing universally is this:
They all should believe in Jesus Christ (the word ‘christ-ian’ is literally ‘follower of Christ), and as a follower of Jesus, christians should try to ACT like Jesus….The New Testament (especially the first 4 books, called the Gospels, or The Good News, will give you more information about Jesus and his life)….
So-called fundamentalist, conservative christians separate themselves from the teachings of Jesus by using christianity to beat up on people who are not like themselves…Jesus never called himself fundamentalist or conservative…..these two words have hidden meanings and an agenda that has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus….it has everything to do with politics….
the example i use is a simple one: abortion and the death penalty…..all fundamentalist conservative christians will tell you that abortion is wrong and it is their duty to stop all forms of it….I, personally, believe it is wrong also, BUT, I also feel that it is the woman’s right to make that choice…She is the one who will have to live with her choice for the rest of her life and she does not need any so-called conservative christians browbeating her to make a choice, If the woman decides to keep the child, these same conservative christians are against the very services that would help that mother and child (cutbacks on welfare, no universal healthcare for children, etc)
Then you look at the hypocrisy of these people when in the next breath, the support the Death Penalty….they say that all life is sacred, then they play God and support killing ‘certain’ people (I say certain people because the vast majority of people on death row are there because non-whites killed whites…. the numbers in comparison are much fewer when the murders are inner racial (black on black or white on white murders)…..
These conservative christians will be fast to say that ‘the state’ or ‘the law’ put people on death row, but they tend to forget that the jurors are their peers….conservative christians!….. these people give christianity such a bad name….I only wish they would stop calling themselves christians….maybe ‘bible reading conservative fundamentalists’…..that is much better..
As for the subject of Sarah Palin….in my opinion, the media jumps on her because she showed elements of hypocrisy…She is the one who told the people that she only shop at regular stores just like Joe six pack, and then it was discovered that she was shopping at the High end shopping stores….she should not have said anything about her clothes in the first place…
and as for her statements that she is a conservative christian, it is hard for to take seriously someone who throws rocks at others who are not like herself, yet in her own family, she’s not listened to (17 year old daughter having a baby)…..
Oh, the Fox channel does not ask her questions that would put her on the spot….they only ask ‘fluff’ questions that has nothing to do with the economy, world affairs, social issues… stuff that a vice president should be able to speak about intelligently………I will say that i do not think that Palin is a bad person, I think that she is more of an ambitious politician then a christian, as she claims to be…..Ms. Palin will be alright after this election…..She’s where she’d never dreamed of being, in the spotlight and known by all of america…a great platform to jump off of for future political ambitions….
sorry for the long answer Shande…I hope it helped….
So, I guess in a nutshell, if you are conservative, chiristian, and watch fox news, then you are automatically racist? I don’t think so. I am a chrisitian by belief and choice, I am conservative because I believe in conservative morals and values not to mention the other agenda’s, and I watch Fox news because MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS are unfair to conservatives. Show me where race plays into any of that please?
B-rad, let me put my argument in another way: you may be morally conservative, but most likely, you are not holding up christian values….
i will ask you some questions: Do you support the death penalty?
Are you against a woman to have the right to make choices with her body? Are you a supporter of the right to own a gun?
If you answer YES to all of these questions, then you are not a christian as Jesus taught in the Bible.
1) Jesus never stated or supported killing of any kind (matthew chapter 26 verse 52 (If you live by the sword, you shall perish by the sword)…and the 10 commandments (thou shalt not kill)…If you call yourself a christian, you cannot support the death penalty.
2) Matthew chapter 7 verses 1-2: 1) Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2)For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” If Jesus said this, what makes you so self righteous to judge that woman and her decision? If you were a true christian, you’d help her in a personal way (by showing empathy), but instead, conservative christians get on their self-righteous horses and show pics of dead fetuses and tell the woman that she is going to hell, and blow up clinics (all in the name of christianity). The name Pharisee comes to mind when i hear a conservative christian speak.
3) Conservative christians will fight for their right to have guns, and in the same voice that they value life. A woman cannot have control of her own body, but a man has a ‘god given right’ to have a gun. What is wrong with this picture?
Finally, if a person who calls themselves a christian, and in the next breath say that Fox news is ‘fair’ to conservatives, i have to say that WITHOUT QUESTION: BEING A CONSERVATIVE DOES NOT EQUAL TO BEING A CHRISTIAN. Conservativism is a political position, whereas being a christian is a spiritual position. Just because one is conservative in political beliefs, does not make one a christian. Period.
Christianity represents and the stances that conservatives support are diametrically opposite……christians don’t judge people…christians don’t feel superior to people not like themselves….christians believe that ALL life is sacred, and we have no right to take it in the name of the law….christians have empathy for others, and not contempt…..
Conservatives CAN judge people….conservatives CAN feel superior to others…..conservatives CAN believe in taking life in the name of the law….conservatives CAN lack empathy for others….why??….because in politics, these behaviors are acceptable……but these behaviors are NOT acceptable if you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ….
It is as simple as that….
total racist comment above, uses the he ridiculous medieval crusader spelling of the Prophets name and makes themselves look more perverted than the group they are attacking. You sound like an utter moron. Keep the convo cool, ppl.
louiecoolgato, It helped a lot. It is very nice of you to take time to explain. Got some things to think about. Thanks (:
white muslim , you are mistaken !!! mohammed put down jesus to design a role of a prophet to him ( he is a false prophet)
Muslims (in muslim countries ) are leaving islam by tons thanks to the study of the son of the pharaos , egyptian scholar and priest Botros Zakaria !! google this to check !
He is the new Mark (the one who made egypt christian)!!
May the world discover christian different of those of America

Well said! I am a Christian living in Australia and American politics confuses me. A lot of powerful American leaders seem to call themselves Christian. Yet they all have different perspectives on what Christian policies ACTUALLY entail…
OMG this is too true- I just found this site and love it- I realize just how big of a tool I am…we are.
louiecoolgato, you should go back and read you previous statement and my question. You statement insinuated that people who have the beliefs that I stated in my question are racist. However to adress your new stance…. I do believe in citizens owning guns legally to protect themselves and there families from anyone trying to do them harm. Govt. gun control will never take guns out of the hands of criminals, and innocent people WILL be killed by lawless citizens. I am not completely on the prolife side as you assume, because I feel if a young woman gets raped or sexually abused who am I to say she should spend 9 months with child. Yes I believe in the death penelty because noone who murders an innocent little girl deserves to live, end of story! God gave us a brain to make sound choices and these are mine. If you question my morals and beliefs then you are no better than the street preacher on the corner telling everyone they are going to hell. If you are going to read the bible do so to improve you own relationship with God not to prove people wrong on the internet.
FUCK ALL RELIGION
Very itellegent “elmo the high puppet” I hope your parents start showing you some love before you really go crazy and start hurting people or killing kittens or something. Wow
All religions are wrong.
Battyboy
This is unfotrunatly realistic, i was a baptist my whole life and i after i turned 18 i decided that i was just going to lead a life of christianity and not religion.I read the bible everyday and i pray and i believe the word just not the religion.I couldnt stand all the hateful words about the hoosexuals and how this country was based on christianity when it wasnt.I beleive that we can preach the word and tell people about it but cannot force and i beleive that is why most people leave a religon to quit hearing the negative feed back from there minister bc truth be told god does not jugde but pastors and preists think they have the right to?My pastor one day said that women who grow up with out fatheres or dont have one in there life will be whores because they dont have someone who is areflection of god.Well my parets got divorced when i was 11 and my dad hasnt been in my life nad i have done just fine.so to all of you who feel trapped in ther religon dont be bc you can get out.You havent disobeyed god in anyway just as long as you still believe
B-rad, once again, i will say that IF YOU STATE THAT YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, then it is NOT end of story…..a christian follows what Christ says….with the death penalty, you don’t pick and choose who should die and who should live…..
If you read the scriptures, you know that if you follow the new testament, you believe that you are under God’s GRACE (which is God’s unmerited favor….you cannot earn God’s grace)….thus, no matter how heinous a crime, you as a christian have no right to take that life….You have to believe (Justice is mine, saith the Lord)…
BUT if you believe in the death penalty, you are more likely a believer in the God of the old testament…an eye for an eye….If you believe in this, then you THINK that your good living and good works will get you to heaven…..but you, as a christian, should know that no one can get to heaven on their good living and good works because the scriptures say that we all are born into sin (and the wages of sin is death)… so you should know that you will be judged by God the very way you judge your fellow man (judge not, lest ye be judged)…..
Your foolish rationale is that the Bible should not be used to prove people wrong….well if you were a christian, you would know that the Bible is true in book form and on the internet…and YOU STILL DID NOT DEFEND YOURSELF AS A CHRISTIAN with your kind of thinking…..
People who say that they are one thing, but their words and actions exhibit another thing, are called hypocrites….and you are a hypocrite B-rad….either you are a christian all the way or you are not……I don’t have to tell you what the scriptures say about people like you who walk on both sides of the fence….
(read the Book of James in the New Testament)…..Blow the dust off your Bible and read it sometime….
So here’s a question for you. If a white woman converts to Buddhism in the 1960’s, runs away from her Christian family, and has a daughter who she raises Buddhist–with no trace of Christianity to be found–and that daughter sticks to her parent’s religion (Buddhism), how does she fit into your stereotype?
That’s me. I’m basically white, and Buddhist, but I’m not rejecting my parents’ religion at all! It’s a weird position to be in, when my grandparents’ and most other white people’s religion (Christianity) seems totally foreign, uncomfortable, even exotic. And not ’cause I’m a rebel–I was raised that way. What am I, a liberal? or a conservative?
There are probably quite a few others in my position too, after all, the 60s are long past and the converts to Eastern religions have had decades to produce kids like me…
Kate, you are whatever YOU CHOOSE to be….don’t let others put any type of label on you….who knows you better than yourself??
what?
So like, my experience is that many white people not only want to rebel against Christianity…
but all kinds of religious hypocrisy. In fact, they would rather be committed in a religion, than nothing at all.
You betta recognize son
louiecoolgato, I respect your views on the death penelty you make a good point. You (who last time I checked aren’t God) have no right to judge me and call me a hypocrit. Furthermore I STILL want to know your logic on white christians that watch a particular news channel, being racist! That was the thing you said that originally fired me up. The other stuff you brought up later, I assume to try and drag me away from the ignorant stereotype remark you made awhile back. Don’t come at me with an opinion with no evidence either. I want proof and examples that might lead me to actually believe that a majority of people like myself are in fact RACIST! THAT’S THE WORD YOU USED TO DESCRIBE US!!!!!!!!!RACIST!! Prove it or take it back!!!!
I did not judge you. If you call yourself a christian B-rad, then the scriptures JUDGED YOU. If you call yourself a christian, and you do what is not christian-like DELIBERATELY, then you are, by definition, a hypocrite.
Secondly, FOX and all those other conservative news channels are—-news channels that have a POLITICAL LEANING. I’ve stated before, CONSERVATISM DOES NOT EQUAL CHRISTIANITY. Conservatism is a political leaning, while christianity is a following of the words of Jesus Christ. If you are a conservative, fine; but do not say that you are a conservative christian because there is no such thing. Find me in the Bible where Jesus said that he was a conservative….Conservative leanings does not, and never will equal being a christian…..And if you have evidence that state otherwise, show it to me in the Bible (which should be your only source to justify your christian beliefs).
Third point, I will state again that anyone who calls themselves CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS are NOT christians, but rather, a
political group who decided to call themselves christian to TRY to give themselves legitimacy. The actions of so called conservative christians do not include anyone who are not like themselves (white, middle america, self righteous). You will say where is my evidence…..well did you see the people who surrounded McCain in his speech declaring Obama the winner? I did not see a true representation of America in that group…on the contrary…I saw a lilly white crowd….and almost all of the so called conservative christians supported McCain.
What Christianity represents and the stances that conservatives support are diametrically opposite……christians don’t judge people…christians don’t feel superior to people not like themselves….christians believe that ALL life is sacred, and we have no right to take it in the name of the law….christians have empathy for others, and not contempt…..
Conservatives CAN judge people….conservatives CAN feel superior to others…..conservatives CAN believe in taking life in the name of the law….conservatives CAN lack empathy for others….why??….because in politics, these behaviors are acceptable……but these behaviors are NOT acceptable if you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ….
It is as simple as that….
What makes this blog funny is that it generalizes common attributes of a very peculiar culture (white america)that is in a wierd form of self denial(not like water fasting denial, but in the sense that it doesn’t acknowledge its existence). Generalizations are not wrong. They are actually neccesary in identifying any sense of trend or commonality in our world. I think that having an outlet to laugh at my friends and myself and still be challenged in my thinking (even if the challenge might be cynical and/or poking at me) is great. Some of you folks definately need some outlet besides this blog. I think maybe the athiests should concentrate more on evolving instead of worrying so much about “the poison of religion”, the christians (me being a follower of Christ)should definately be praying before defending themselves and trying so hard to be right in the eyes of man(look up the word: meekness) as there is something higher than being right in an argument. It’s being free from the need to be justified. Basically, I think it would be pretty cool if we could find the self control to just respect eachother(even if we are wronged verbally) enough to realize that this blog is really cool. And it doesn’t have to be anything more than that. Sorry for the rant. I just know that each one of you are probably really awesome in your own ways and its a shame to read all you trying to be so “right” and justified, but few are willing to just take a hit and get humble. Props to the few… peace.
I would agree with you brionbee with one exception….there is no such thing as ‘white culture’….and since there’s no such thing as white culture, it is not peculiar….
culture |ˈkəl ch ər|
noun
1 the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively : 20th century popular culture.
• a refined understanding or appreciation of this :
• the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group : | people from many different cultures.
• [with adj. ] the attitudes and behavior characteristic of a particular social group
the title ‘white culture’ has too many negative connotations when heard by non-whites, especially here in the United States…..here in the US, there is NO white culture because America has a mixture of so many different backgrounds, the adjective ‘white’ does not adequately describe, nor accurately describe the unique culture that is America….
the election of Obama is proof that the very notion of ‘white culture’ in America is no longer a humorous or valid discussion point……
The blog, fortunately, does not say that this is a ‘white culture’ blog…..It is in some ways humorous, but overall, i believe that is says ‘white people’ in its title, it brings out the worst in alot of people……on the white and the non-white side…
but such is life in America….
yeah I am white and my family which has 27 people just in my generation has been Jewish for over 270 years and that is only on the line I can trace the other changed their name coming over from Germany so I can only trace that side of the family back 78 years but I know they had to be Jewish or else they would not have come to America.
Finally someone pointed out that hypocrisy. Thank you, louie.
And God bless.
The Eye for an Eye policy is on a page that features the policies that allow criminals to achieve Asylum. It establishes “asylum cities” and has the Church being heavily involved FOR the criminal.
Even the Old Testament is PROGRESSIVE SOCIAL POLICY.
And Eye for an eye is erroneously implied as a Vendetta.
It really means that family members of the victim can ONLY injure a criminal to the extent of the victim.
If a man were to strike a tooth from his neighbour’s head, the neighbour could not call for his arm as “justice”.
A tooth for a tooth.
The whole stoning sinners thing was even cleared up by Jesus. “He who is without sin…”
People with political leanings have used the Bible as a weapon, but it’s a social(ist) tool.
If you cannot agree to this after actually reading the Bible(even only that page) then you need a new religion.
“Conservative” and God do not go together…
The world needs more people like louie.
Misinformed angry girl the author is named Christian Lander google him so that you can see that he is white.
”It’s a strange thing about seekers-after-wisdom that, no matter where they happen to be, they’ll always seek that wisdom which is a long way off. Wisdom is one of the few things that looks bigger the further away it is.” ~ Terry Pratchett
In my opinion, religion’s primary function is to answer questions that are, in essence, unanswerable. Such as “what happens when you die?”, “what’s the meaning of life?” and “what’s the origin of the universe?” To be fair, religion may have the answer to these questions, but it is just as likely that no one will ever know. I have always wondered why these questions so intrigued so many people, and yet so few become theoretical physicists or even philosophers, and dedicate themselves to finding definitive answers supported by facts, not mere conjecture. It seems more likely that having an answer, whether it be true or not, is more important to people than dealing with the inherent uncertainty of life.
I was raised by a Catholic mother and a Jewish father, who were very open and honest about the teachings of their respective faiths. What I gleaned from both of them was that the consistency of the rituals and common identity of association were the reasons why they still practiced their faith. I was not pressured to choose, was neither confirmed or bah mitzvahed, and after taking a good look at my parents’ religions as well as others, I decided that I am an Atheist, although I feel like Realist is a more apropos designation. Not to be overly cynical, but at least as far as the western religions go, anything that preaches self-denial of sex and bacon smacks of self-denial for self-denial’s sake. Also, I’ve seen too many bad things happen to good people and vice-versa, to accept that there is any sort of justice or grand scheme. Conversely, if all the bad that happens is within some entities control and that entity does nothing to stop it, then I can’t help but wonder if that entity is worthy of praise, if not condemnation.
As improbable and superfluous as religion may be to me, I do not begrudge religious people, to the contrary, I envy them. How wonderful it must be to think that everything happens for a reason, and if you follow a certain set of rules you will be rewarded either in this life or the next. To be sure, reality can be a scary, difficult and at times overwhelming place, but it is also rich and rewarding. Each person makes or breaks their own fortunes, and the manner with which they endure the challenges reveals their character, and gives everyone the right to take ownership and pride for their successes. The only consolation for failure is, and should be, that you were given a chance at life, and f you came up short it was because you were lacking, not because of some unseen force had it in for you, or because you ate lobster and fooled around with your girlfriend.
Add pseudo intellectualism and over analyzing to the list of stuff white people like.
no no no, religion has a very useful purpose, it is “the rules to live by” for people who cant think for themselves.
Religion… I got this pretty great book that anybody with an open mind about life/religion should read. It’s a quick read and funny. It was way better than ‘the five people you meet in heaven’. It’s called ‘One Time Visitor’ by Jack Bolger. Barnes and Noble sells it.
As an honest-to-god (irony (even more ironic)) white guy, I can honestly say that religion that doesn’t actually require you to do anything sounds like it would be pretty popular to anyone who feels “too intelligent” to be associated with Christian or other mainstream religions.
Religion! That’s true! I’m white, my parents are Catholic and I never fit on it. So I went to Seicho-No-Ie, I learn about Muslam, I love Buddhism, but I think my ancestors were jews. So maybe I will convert to Judaism. Or maybe I married a Japanese and be a Xintoist.
Parents raise their children the way they believe is right, if it involves their own religion, then allow them to raise the child with their religion.
I agree. That’s why I don’t buy Buddhas–I think it is inappropriate to turn someone else’s religious symbol into kitsch. Another reason why stores like West Elm and Restoration Hardware may not sell crucifixes is that they are creapy-looking to folks who aren’t Christian. I’m Jewish but my paternal grandmother was Catholic, and I remember that her giant crucifix in her living room used to totally freak me out.
You are absolutely right. I wish I could live in the god delusion and believe myself holy and saved because I memorized every book in the bible and got baptized. It’s a wonderful world they live in. After this one they get to go “heaven” and essentially party with god while their family members who ate pork and had premarital sex burn in hell for an eternity.
[…] #2 – Religions Their Parents Don’t Belong To I love Jesus and so do my parents. […]
Moreover, if you take a look at what SWPL guy is writing, he’s spot-on in his assessment of white people here.

Thanks for several good point friend. I follow Christ, and consider myself Methodist….but I like the Miami Hurricanes, The Stones, free speech, Mr. Obama….etc etc. I like what I think is best for me…..that does not make it right for others or the world….and if someone else does not like one of my likes…….that is fine. I do not need to defend my like, or put them down, exile them to Elba, sue them, call the law or have them killed. It is fine that we like different things, and it should not stop us from respecting, befriending, enjoying and loving one another. Thank you friend for your input.
Sheer brilliance.
I fuckin love this site.
I find most white people like to claim themselves as Buddhist.
Religion and spirtuality are for the weak both in body and mind. Most people (not white people) can’t handle the fact that there is nothing greater than themselves or that they exist by pure happenstance. People want to cover their ass in case there is something after death. Just live and be moral, it’s in our deep subconcience that’s all we need to worry about. Death is absolute and final, give it up people, we are the beginning and the end.
Stuff black people like.
Hey, let’s all stereo type the color of people’s skin!!
“….Just live and be moral…”
I guess you are not enjoying life, eh?….To JUST LIVE and be moral is as about as close to being dead while breathing as you can get….
the writer Henry James once said:
“Live all you can; it’s a mistake not to. It doesn’t so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven’t had that what have you had?”
Stop dwelling on death and enjoy what you have!….believe me, death will come eventually to all of us, so why waste ‘living time’ thinking about it??
ohh stop being a sour puss
let me guess your the left winger
Yes, it’s the easiest cop-out LOL
This site is AWESOME!!
You do realize you just proved a point of a person who is mocking you- not agreeing with you…
fuck this site
Never been Buddhist, huh! Lots of work if you do it right- I can tell you that!
Wah wah wah
Hmmmmmm, traditions are pretty strong with whities . . . don’t think that Jesus is going to leave any white morals as long as christmas brings presents.
oh, if your a jew, always a jew
“I guess you’re not enjoying life, eh?”
He didn’t say anything about enjoying or not enjoying life, and with your Henry James quote, you just reinforced what he said.
Yes, lets live life to the fullest, NOW! but also, let’s take some steps towards continuity and making sure that humans will continue to exist here for all the 5 billion years left that the Sun will shine. Murderous religion doesn’t help with that.
I’m inclined to believe that most people are atheist but just haven’t really thought about it. Why wasn’t atheism mentioned in the write-up? I mean, it’s #2 for Chrissakes! Ha!
I interpreted the ‘just live’ as just existing…..I could be wrong, but just living sounds to me like ‘going thru the motions’ of life… doing what you have to do but not doing what you want to do… and ENJOYING what you want to do…..
My interpretation of James is more of an ‘enjoying life’….Live ALL YOU CAN…. to grab life and do something with it, and not let life lead you…
the Greek philosopher, Horace, said way back when….
“Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero. Seize the day, trust not to the morrow.”
In the christian tradition, the greatest commandment that most christians tend to forget and/or neglect is this:
The Book of Mark (in the New Testament of the Holy Bible); chapter 12: verses 29-31:
Which is the first commandment of all? 29) And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.”
Simple….if people would love their neighbors as they love themselves, then humans will survive as long as the sun is existing……There seems to be no love for each other in this world…..thus the cause of our self-destruction…..
Hello. Friends. 01/05/09

Just to clarify, Unitarian Universalism is not a Christian religion. 🙂
most white people?? i can probably count the number of buddhists i’ve met in my life on one hand, and none were white.
HMMM It’s the Black folks who LOOOOVE Jezzzus & The Buy-Bull.
Brother, you got to learn to talk. Not all of us White poeple can understand the complicated gramatics of the bubonic language.
Fhoshizzel.
That is potentially one of the most ignorant and unfortunately common beliefs about religion. Anyone who is legitimately religious, regardless of their faith, is far stronger in mind than non-believers. Granted there are those faithless ones who are religious in name only and whose faith boils down to trinkets they wear around their necks or to bumper stickers on their cars. For those, religion is nothing but a crutch and something they run to only when life turns sour. However, for those who are dedicated to their faith and live it daily, there is not a more difficult choice in life. If it’s so easy, try being a bona fide Christian or Muslim. Everyone who has knows that it’s far easier to live a carefree life with no regard to our existence or purpose on this planet. For those who have tried, the “weak” ones are the ones who return to their old ways, because the old ways are easier.
I went to an ultra-leftist school which consisted of those ‘white people’ who blamed Christianity and Christians for all the ills of the world. They encouraged others to ignore the positives of Christians and only pay attention to the negatives. I think you should add in the the only time its okay for a white person to talk about Christianity is if they were brought up in a devout household and blame it for all their mental traumas. Bonus points if it’s a Catholic household.
Anyways since I left that domain of those proud Christan-haters, I’ve learned to choose for my own. In fact I’m a white guy who’s a practicing Catholic, and not simply because I have a gold crucifix to show off (even though gold crucifixes have alwaysd been the coolest bling-bling). I find it interesting how it’s mostly non-whites who are willing to attend a Catholic church. Boy am I a minority. In fact if ‘white people’ bother to see how much the Catholic church has changed and is more focused on Godly relationships rather than being a dictatorship, then they may soften their hearts.
Then again, how dare a white person think positively of the Catholic church, or any Christian church for that matter!
“…. I find it interesting how it’s mostly non-whites who are willing to attend a Catholic church….”
Believe it or not, there are MORE non-white catholics in the world than whites…..especially in the Western Hemisphere (mexico, central america, south america)…
Would it be wrong to point out that one can assume that your parents probably weren’t catholic? the post’s title is “religions that their parents DON’T belong to”. there’s also a post about “hating their parents”. good on you for picking one of the more demanding ones, though. That’s certainly going against the white grain.
Actually I’m in a Christian denomination or even a Catholic rite that neither of my parents belong to.
Thanks for the often-forgotten fact. I’m actually glad I go to a racially diverse church. It shows the door is open for everyone. I’m just not that happy to see that most white Catholics are lazy when it comes to going to church. Most usually wait until Christmas and Easter to attend a mass.
You suck
White people “spirituality” is a yuppie affectation that’s tailor-made for people who want to be recognized for their piety and righteousness but are too lazy to adhere to the tenets of a traditional religion, whatever that religion may be. They want their cake and want to eat it, too. “Spirituality” has its roots in the laziness and narcissism of the hippie “movement.”
Good point. Atheism is as much of a religion as any of the religions it opposes, right down to the belief that non-believers must be converted to the “right way of thinking.” When you strip away all the big talk, atheists worship themselves…their way is the only way, and you better toe the line or else, buddy.
Ha! Precisely why people take up atheism…have you ever met a humble, modest, unassuming, live-and-let-live atheist who didn’t have a superiority complex? Think about it.
Richard Dawson blogs on this site???
You said it. Have you ever seen the issue of Playboy with her in it? Man she had bushes of hair jutting out from her armpits!
It boils down to laziness and an inability to commit, for lack of a better term, to a specific belief system…the technical term is “moral relativism.”
spiritual |ˈspiri ch oōəl|
adjective
1 of, relating to, or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things
religious |riˈlijəs|
adjective
believing in and worshiping a superhuman controlling power or powers, esp. a personal God or gods
Spirituality DOES NOT have roots in the hippie movement…It is as OLD as mankind, and it has not killed millions of people… no one goes on a holy war (Crusades, Jihad, etc) in the name of spirituality….
….whereas, RELIGION, and “religiousness”, when used and believed in fanatically (take your choice with any of the major religions), has killed millions of people in its name….Almost ALL WARS are rooted in some sort of religiosity….unfortunately…

i HATE scientology its evil
dictionary.com hates you. leave it alone
it seems to me that white people especially hate religion and its tenets because of the nature of it. religion is natural, every culture practices it in one way or the other. Now that white people are so technologically advanced and stuff and smart, it’s ok to abandon religion, just like running around naked and shitting in the woods. Now it seems like only minorities and the poor are faithful in religion, albeit there are a lot of rich southern white people that go to church. Is it just me, or does it seem that if you tell a run-of-the-mill white person that you are religious, they will question you and stuff but if you are a minority they just think it’s so great?
oh yeah i wish people would stop bad-mouthing Christianity just because of the bad history and the bad publicity. People like to think of themselves as not racist and completely understanding, but when it comes to Christians, they will immediately box them into a tiny little hate-mongering group. Collectivism is just the same as racism. Please don’t try to follow this up with a bunch of definitions from dictionary.com.
no, all wrongs are religions, duh!
“An incest man” hmm, i haven’t heard that before, i think my dad was a “Heineken Man”.
“Spiritual, but not religious” means to me that this person does a lot of mushrooms and LSD and perhaps, he/she might go on a Hajj (take DMT).
They could never be as religious and pious as Mike, NEVER! Mike works so hard to be religious that he sweats holy water. No religious slouching here, no sir. Haha, way to make a joke site serious guy.

*cue hate-filled intelligent design vs. evolution argument*
This one absolutely cracks me up… because it is sooo true! I teach Spanish in a university setting, and many of my students, who try so hard to portray themselves as intellects, love to demean traditional religion and accept something new (Buddhism and Taoism are the favorites). They love to use the same excuse: they are too intelligent to buy into “God”, and religion was created to give the poor, uneducated people hope… WOW! and I thought it was only around here…
but hey.. what do I know? I fully accept #106, #72 and #29…
religion was created to control stupid people.
and atheism was created by stupid people….
yes, the so-called more educated person believes that they are just walking, breathing pieces of dirt….that when they die, they will return to dirt….in a lifeless form….
give me the 2000 year old fairy tale anytime….

Oh my…As an Aboriginal woman (or American Native) I giggled so hard with this….our traditions seem to also be something that white people love….”you Natives are so peaceful and spiritual” or “I was Native in my last life because I feel such a connection to Mother Earth”……silly white people
I don’t know which is funnier … the posting about “spiritual, not religious” white people, or the running comments about this entry of Stuff White People Like. I’m laughing more over the comments, even as I nod that yes, white people love being spiritual. Me? I’m not white. I don’t count. The end. Bwahahahaha!
You can’t just “go on a Hajj”. Only muslims are allowed into Mecca.
They ask for proof at the Saudi Embassy to get the visa and there is a checkpoint on the highway where only muslims are allowed to pass.
Never mind I just realised “going on a hajj” is probably some drug-user jargon for taking said substance.
So many sub-cultures and ever-changing meanings of words here, it gets confusing.
English is fun though. Keep speaking it.
Atheism is a religion like bald is a hair colour.
Solo might I suggest you take your theocracy to somewhere that appreciates your inane babbling, I can guarantee that you don’t know what god thinks. I say this because no one else knows what gods thinks and you don’t have special powers of of perception that no one else has.

This site rocks…I am not white…but he is so dead on stuff whites like..at least what other races observe of whites
What you said is more or less crap. It is soooo much harder being religious than you may think. Try having faith in something you can’t see. Try saying no to the world who’s values are drastically different than yours. And for you to say that death is absolute is pretty sad. Why are you living then? What is there to live for? Why have a family? Why buy a house? Why wake up tomorrow morning? We’re apparently all going to die and that will be that, so why bother doing anything?
If that were the case it would be controlling you.
The magic of life existing all on its own seems as much a fairy tale as immaculate conception. I’m just saying, whichever way you choose to believe, it’s a form of faith – belief in something without proof. Takes just as much energy to be your brand of holier-than-thou atheist as to be “religious.”
WOW! Are you serious?!? Wow!
And this shows people’s ignorance of their own religion. Look up who Satan actually is, not from what the CHURCH says, but from the mythos from which the bible was actually written- the FULL spectrum of the Judaism. They explain about Satan there. While your at it, my bible says only that “Lucifer fell”. Really, just those two words. How do we get he is now a demon responsible for all the world’s ills from that?
What would you say if I told you every Christian “holiday” is merely a Pagan holiday in disguise?
Spot on with this…I think a lot of white people like myself are closet atheists. Raised in a southern babtist home and now not believing anything more than modern science can explain.
But I’m way too much of a chicken to tell anyone…maybe it the fear of being in a minority.
My parents come from an anti-catholic viewpoint. I often giggle right before mass.
The first sentence gets me and then the second one loses me again. I think all religions are equally right — and wrong.
Seriously? Get over it and just come out of the closet. Its time.
I’m not white…but I’m a Mexican with the heart and mind of a white-girl. This one…SPOT ON! I tend to like every religion that;s not christianity and have used the term “Spiritual but not religious” when talking to family though I’m an agnostic-leaning-atheist
just so you know white people..don’t waste the barnes and noble gift cards you got for christmas on books about obscure religions..Buddhism imparts wonderful self satisfaction and requires the least amount of practical engagement
I am spiritual but hate religion. But I get to be ultra cool because even though I hate religion, I really do love Jesus and God.
People think religion = God. Not true. Religion is awful. It shows you what the bible already tells you and adds tons of rules that the bible doesn’t have…and it ends up keeping you away from Jesus. Jesus is easy. Religions complicate him.
my parents were raised in strong catholic families, they are non-practicing. My siblings and I are all agnostics. Not really sure if that’s going against my parent’s religion, it’s not like they shoved it down our throats like how their parents, our grand parents did to them. They were sorta more rebelling when not being an active practicing member of the religion.
Did someone say scientology?

It’s “ebonic”; you’re mixing it up with “bubonic”, as in the bubonic plague. Don’t try to say it was on purpose; you have no idea wtf you’re saying and you know it.
I love Jesus. For better or worse, so do my parents. Oh well.
I have definitely picked up from all my friends that this is not cool and that anything I think must be only because I have been brainwashed while they themselves are tremendously free thinkers. So I’m the exception, but I think the pattern holds. 🙂
[…] Finally found a philosophy/religion that suits me You are so, so, so-so white. #2 Religions that their parents dont belong to Stuff White People Like __________________ Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of […]
you are not the exception, you are just red neck
I’m just a bit afraid that I am somehow one giant white-step beyond this with my carefully cultivated tolerance for religion (think embracing diversity; it’s like that, only, you know, more white). And I practice buddhism (though I don’t consider myself spiritual).
Huh.
*snort* I love how most Christian young people say that.
Free-Thinking is awesome! Of course my parents brainwashed me when I was a child! They were not trying to do their best by raising me with values they thought would be important for me to succeed.
They were just stupid pawns of the religions. I’m so glad I went to college. It really opened my eyes!

It is very odd to see written the words, “It’s a cult.” (Put on your protector against the evil eye!) Cult just means religion followed by few. If Scientology helps those people live their lives and be more productive citizens then it is good for them to follow it.
Many more main-stream belief systems also pervert the social relationships with family and previous friends and receive money that cannot really be spared from the household. Relatives and friends think they are being excluded because they have the better interest of the person at heart in trying to get them to separate from a particular belief system. Maybe they just have their own interests at heart.
Haha, I love it. You hit the nail on the head. I think religion is just a tool to controll and manipulate the weak and uneducated. That’s why when you go into the lower income neighborhoods there are more churces and liquor stores. I live in a very affluent neighborhood. We have 2 churches…hmmmmmmm I wonder why that is?
I am not Scientologist, but if you call Scientology a cult then what would you call “The Church of the Ladder Day Saints”. The whole Mormon religion scares me and brings me back to, Religion is a tool used to control and manipulate the weak!!! Even their commericals seak out the weak and lost souls.
Where have you learned about Jesus Rebekah? If it was the bible than you would know that loving Jesus and hating organized religion is an oxymoron considering Christ clearly established an organized religion. (See Ephesians 4:11-14, Acts 2:41-42, Romans 10:14).
Fortunately, not all young whites use spirituality as an accessory to their image and ego, in order to be or feel “ulta cool” as Rebekah put it. I appreciated how the post mentioned that many white youth often seek a religion of convenience that doesn’t require any real effort or sacrifice on their part. Fortunately myself and many of my friends break this mold and enjoy the blessings of real faith as opposed to an empty intellectual acknowledgement of God. My only wish is that people like Rebekah stayed a more silent embarrassment to white youth instead of publishing her ignorance to the world.
As Jesse Ventura said in his Playboy interview, “Organized religion is a crutch for weak minded people who need strength in numbers”. Oh, so true, especially for christians and their fairy tale based religion. I was brought up in the Methodist church but am now agnostic because it makes sense to me and christianity makes no sense.
Garrett said:
“Christ clearly established an organized religion. (See Ephesians 4:11-14, Acts 2:41-42, Romans 10:14).”
So which church did Jesus “clearly establish” in this verse? Catholic? Russian Orthodox? Anglican? Lutheran?, Baptist?, Mormon?, Jehovah Witness?
Let me guess, the one you belong to?
That’s a question each believer of the bible must seek for themselves. Of course you would expect me to respond either, “Yes, my church” or “The church I’m seeking for”. But that’s not my point. If you’re Jewish, Hindu, Agnostic, etc… that’s fine by me. It’s people like Rebekah who try to demonize organized religion that disappoints me. And when that person tries to claim they follow Jesus and that they know about the bible, it’s so contradictory, I felt it should be pointed out.
Likewise (for a more extreme ex.), it should be expected that when an extremist tries to use the Koran to justify acts of terrorism, that real Muslims would step up and point out the error of those embarrassing and tainting their faith.
I recognize my comment comment takes a serious turn from the fun nature of the original post, but it’s hard for me to silently observe such ignorance being professed along side the name of my Savior (or anything that is important to that person).
[…] am a spiritual person […]
YORUBA!!! White people love the yorubian way of life!!
[…] on side note: the worst thing about you is your religious beliefs. Creative Class people are tolerant, open-minded and accepting of everything accept anything that […]
Actually Paul (who is NOT a Christian) created the complex mess that is organized religion. He needed to make it easier for the Romans to accept. So he replaced the warnings about greed and wealth with guilt about sexuality. You can conceal your sex life easier than you can conceal your wealth.
Another thing, G, Xtianity is not the only difficult religion to follow. Try being a Buddhist. I respect Christians who are humble and do not engage in “spiritual pride”. This is covered in Matthew 6.
I don’t mean to insult Christianity, but it detoured from the true teaching of an enlightened being (Jesus) about 1800 years ago. However, there are people who are true followers of Christ. They are kind, compassionate, non-judgmental folks who know that true charity is the key to enlightenment.
Namaste
Picking and choosing what, and which author you agree with in the bible… just as unique as it is convenient. I suppose Christ wasn’t “enlightened” enough to choose apostles who would be inspired enough to keep someone like Paul from running the church into the ground, instead of baptizing and ordaining him to the ministry (Acts 9:17-18, 13:2-3…how you come to the conclusion he wasn’t a Christian is beyond me).
Also, I never said “Xtianity” (who does that, honestly), was the only religion that required effort or sacrifice.
Look, if you want to call Christianity and the bible a fluke, by all means. But subscribing to a belief in an “enlightened being” (Jesus), while denouncing all the other claims of the very source of your knowledge of that same Jesus, is so contradictory the attempt only embarrasses and exposes the convenient believer.
Sorry, but since Saul never MET Jesus in person, I don’t believe the supernatural claim that he was chosen by Jesus.
I stand behind my claims that Paul tailored the teachings of Jesus to fit his type-A, misogynist, prude agenda.
As a free-thinker, I do not believe in miracles, etc. I do believe that a man named Jesus became enlightened and spread a good word. After his death, he was deified by followers (similar to the Buddha). So I’ll go with history. If you can substantiate claims with a source other than the Bible, then I’ll believe it. By the way, many Bible stories predate the actual writing and subsequent editing of the Bible.
Namaste
Haha, so true.
Not all relgious people are “weak minded.” I happen to have a lot of friends who are very bright and have thought deeply about different religions as well as no religion before they made any sort of decision. Just because Christianity doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean it’s illogical or only for people who want to be lemmings.
So you have to physically meet Jesus to be called of God. That would also rule out Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob…men Jesus himself recognized as prophets (Luke 13:28).
Look, you obviously don’t believe in the Bible, but only in the historical record of a man named Jesus who taught good things. According to you, the gist of his teachings may be found in the bible, but this is suspicious and unreliable because the authors lied about a whole bunch of nonsense like resurrection and the divinity of Jesus.
So “go with history” as you put it… but history won’t teach you anything eternal in nature. You will find yourself ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of truth (2 Tim 3:7).
It sounds like you’re agnostic, which is fine, but which you need not make any claims on the Bible, Jesus, or anything of any religion that requires faith.
Look, I really am very supportive of differing beliefs, but I feel people should be straight-up and consistent with their claims. People like yourself claim to “believe” in Jesus (or the bible), when they really reject the most fundamental claims of the bible.
I will give you the last word here. I’m done after this. My beliefs are consistent. I would describe myself as a Free-Thinker. I reject any claims of supernatural origin, etc. So that leaves me with a search for tangible evidence. Fossils in Harrar, Ethiopia, DNA, Observable evolution in other species these are what I draw my beliefs from.
You seem like a genuinely good person, Garrett. You take your religion seriously and are free of judgment. That is cool.
I take my beliefs seriously too. While I reject religion for the most part, I can draw inspiration. I feel I lead a moral life. I am not greedy, I do not lie or steal,etc. Compassion is a motivating factor in my actions.
So, as I stated at the beginning, you get the last word here. I’ll agree to disagree on this one. Thanks for the posts.
DPR
I’ll take the last word to simply thank you for your chill approach toward our differences and understanding that to a person who believes the bible’s portrayal of Jesus, claims of belief in the bible or Jesus while denouncing Christ’s divinity and the teachings of other biblical authors, or demonizing organized religion (which Rebekah did, not you) is viewed as offensive and inconsistent (as it relates to the bible) to what I would call “real” Christians.
It’s mature and intelligent dialogue like this that really gets me stoked about building bridges of understanding throughout the “spiritual community”, in politics, and any area where we have the opportunity to celebrate differences instead of let them tear us (the human race) apart.
“The Church of the Ladder Day Saints” are a cult also. A so-called religion that did not accept african americans until 1979 into its priesthood because of some belief that they are not equal to the white worshippers…..
a cult thru and thru…
Jenn, if a bunch of non-drinking, non-smoking, family oriented people who teach serving in their community and donating to the poor scare you, you must live a very fearful life.
This is a cult, that is a cult…you bigots (Jenn & Louiecoolgato) never fail to surprise me on how open you are with your judgmental ignorance. With so many things wrong with the world, you think you’d find better things to condemn than religions… oh no! not self-knowledge and spiritual fulfillment! Graded courses of study and training… sounds evil to me! Honestly, step out of your bubble of hate and actually listen to yourself…it’s embarrassing really.
“What the world needs now… Is love, sweet love…” (Corny, but true)
this is entirely incorrect and not funny. i dont follow any religion really and have nothing bad to say about anyone who does unless you get in face about it. i was baptism a catholic but i didnt have much say in the matter as i couldnt speak.
this is entirely incorrect and not funny. i dont follow any religion really and have nothing bad to say about anyone who does unless you get in my face about it. i was baptised a catholic but i didnt have much say in the matter as i could not speak.
I am in agreement with “Dredd”…but, the next person who asks me “Have you found Jesus”? will get the hardest bitch-slap i can muster!
Most of the churches listed in your post could not have been the church established by Christ. The Anglican and Lutheran churches were established in the 16th century; the Baptists in the 16th & 17th; Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses in the 19th.
Only two churches can lay claim as the church established by Christ: the Greek or Eastern Orthodox Church and the Latin/Western or Catholic Church. Even these two churches were united for centuries until ultimate schism in the 11th century (I don’t include the later unions that were repealed).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East-West_Schism
If you are a member of one of the Protestant churches listed above, you must acknowledge the claims by the orthodox/catholic churches but then argue that the orthodox/catholic churches have somehow “gone off the rails” in their doctrines and that the Protestant version (Lutheran/Anglican/Methodist etc.) is the “true” teaching.
Regardless, each should seek the ultimate truth – why we are here, i.e. the meaning to life. Most religions have some truth; some religions have a great deal of truth; but for many of us, only one religion and perhaps one church/temple etc. has THE truth. For others, science holds “THE truth” i.e. that life was established unilaterally and spontaneously, exists for its own sake and that there is no other purpose or “meaning” of life.
And, of course, a Christian should belong to the church that he/she believes Jesus created and that continues to teach the Truth as taught by Christ. Why would one belong to a Baptist church but believe that Catholicism holds “THE truth”? Atheists believe that they have the ultimate truth. Would an atheist then join the Russian Orthodox Church?
What doesn’t make sense about it? Is it confusing to understand that we should love one another, treat each other with kindness, respect and dignity, that we should find ways to emulate our Father in Heaven? I beleive that “Christianity” has been labeled as something it is not.
If we look at the words, they are plain enough on their face.
When the pharisees were attempting to trick Jesus into admitting wrong doing, He said, two new commandments I give unto you:
That ye should love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, mind, might.
The second is that ye should love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two commandments hangs all the law of the prophets.
The fact that men, Christian or otherwise, refuse to heed His council, does nothing to obfuscate the meaning.
I am a former agnostic.
i do know what you’re saying. i am a born again Christian and was raised Baptist. i see how people don’t want to be like their parents. However, i believe in the religion that i was raised in and if you are a true Christian you could never be anything else because of the things you’ve seen and felt.
My parents are very lazy in their religion…my father is Lutheran and my mother was raised Catholic but neither actively goes to church and I went to Catholic church basically just for the free snacks…and because it was something to do. I’ve never been baptised and my mom doesn’t like church because she hates the donation basket and I’ve never really payed attention to the teaching of the Bible and I was really annoyed when I got lectured for saying ‘the Lord’s name in vain’ or when Jehovah’s witnesses tried to ‘save my soul’. My mother is religious to a point that she’s a little homophobic (or heterosexist if you want to be politically correct) and uses the excuse that ‘God didn’t create man to lie with man and that if an animal did that it’d be a defect and they’d be killed’ in which I usually just point out the Bonobos…but that’s beside the point. I think the only part I really liked was listening to my mom practice singing gospel even though I didn’t like listening to the whole church singing together. It didn’t help much when the Catholic church kicked my sisters and I out for my parents not being married…I was a kid at the time and bounced from one interest to another and I never really cared much…and even now I don’t have a great understanding of Christianity or any other religions…but that’s because I’m lazy when it comes to religion. I don’t think I’m very spiritual, though. I guess I’m agnostic but I could be an atheist…dunno. I kind of believe you either rot in the ground or you’re born again into a different body..either one doesn’t really matter to me, but I am kind of afraid of dying. I don’t think it will matter once I eventually do die, though. I don’t mean to offend any monotheists here…but I don’t really like monotheistic religions because I honestly think they’re ridiculous in how they fight over which god is real or greater and how they try to save the other person from hell because they don’t believe in the one true God. I know that’s not all monotheists…just the fanatics but I still wince at the idea. I know that saying that I really have no chance of not offending someone, but I like to avoid conflict. Maybe polytheists act like that, too…I don’t really know so I probably shouldn’t say anything that’s just how I see it and I’ve never heard of Greeks fighting Egyptians over Zeus’s believed whatever which also happens to be Isis’ whatever from ancient times…
Sorry for going off topic yet again.
Your point would be better recieved if you shortened it a little 🙂
Clander.. There is a major religous transformation going on in the US and in Europe. It’s a result of the era of information and it’s been built on the cummulitive social and moral victories accrued over the centuries.. In light of this progress, comes new realizations.. Monotheism is increasingly viewed as a false doctrine of human myth and superstition. The Abrahamic faiths are becoming less and less appealing to those who have been granted the gift from their parents of not being indoctrinated as children. They are then free to define spirituallity in a more effective, and less lethal form..
You’ve completely missed the issue on this one again..
It seems to me that your either not capable of understanding the topics you write about.. Or you have an ” Agenda” to portray white America in a negative way..
Or is it a little of both??
Spot on! While I am devout in my faith, I have mad respect for anyone who takes the thought and effort to seek for the answers to the questions of life which we seem to instinctively ask… even if they come to different conclusions than me, so long as they remain respectful and civil towards everyone else personal journey for their own answers.
haha… true… and this coming from a white self-proclaimed intellectual. haha!
I don’t know, but here is some really cool shit http://www.thegreenlions.com
i don’t see this among any white people, i mean they stick to 2 religions, christianity or judaism. white people are the most christian people out there, they are the poster children of christianity, yo’d almost believe that jesus was born in london england or munich germany. white people love christianity, it’s true, there’s nothing they love more than this. i think this post was some attempt to connect white people to things that aren’t white, but trust me i don’t see many who would embrace Indian religions like Buddhism or Hinduism. Surely they’d closer move to something like Zoroastrianism because of the sameness of the other Abrahamic religions…
Where’s “atheism”?
He’s not raising an issue of “religous transformation”, but joking about that guy Ryan (or any other white person) who feels the need to tell you they’ve converted to Buddhism, Islam, Shintoism, Rastafarianism or Hinduism because they want to distance themselves from their parents.
They’ll also tell you that their new religion will allow them to smoke pot, or provide a better justification for the fact that they’re vegetarian, or neglect shaving for the rest of their lives (usually based on generalisations and stereotypes found in foreign flicks). 🙂
[…] people. Some of the items include hummus, unpaid internships, Arrested Development (so true), and religions their parents don’t belong to. Totally funny and totally real because I like a majority of the things on the […]
I am white and southern baptist just like my parents and entire line of ancestors.
Surely you see the contradiction in your post. You are claiming white people have adopted another races religion and embracing it as their own, and then complain that you can’t see any whites converting to Hinduism… right?
Anyway I’m agnostic. If you need to check in a book if something is immoral, you are checking for excuses to get away with something you know is wrong.
there is nothing more white than christianity, it is that ultimate white people religio, i never see people convert from christianity to eastern religions
white people messed up christianity by misrepresenting it all over the world. christianity began in the middle east, and it was not white people who began it; it was disaffected jews.
southern baptists. hmmm, other names for southern baptists are: KKK, national rifle assn members, rednecks, bigots, etc. all in the name of being religious and ‘christian’.
whatevah.
another thing to ponder is what is white. yeah of course nordics(swedes, germans, british, dutch etc.) like europeans and spanish people who are ancestors of celts(irish, scots etc.) are the main thing when you say white. in america and europe white is considered arabs, jews, iranians. blacks are african american, asians are indian(india, pakistan, bangladesh), oriental people
so according to this jews and arabs are white people…i wonder ow jews classify themslves? white? non white? they share same genetic as arabs anyway right?
the original jewish people from the old testament are mostly african (egyptian to be exact). Read the end of Genesis, the first book of the bible, and the next book, Exodus, and you will find out that the jews, under the leadership of Jacob, went into egypt to escape famine. They had a few hundred in the tribe going into egypt.
when they left egypt, some 450 years later, their numbers were in the millions, according to the bible. Now the only way you can get a million people from an original number of several hundred is: that original several hundred isrealites (jews) HAD to intermingle with the egyptian people.
thus, the original isrealites leaving egypt were african and semitic mix, NOT european. the jews of today like to think of themselves as white, but their history shows otherwise.
P.S: isrealites were/are a semitic people, just as the arabs are semitic people. One can be semitic and NOT jewish, thus, when one hears the word anti-semitic, one can say that anti-arab is anti-semitic just as if you were anti-jewish.
The exception that proves the rule…
Let me guess…your parents were Southern Baptist.
Buddhism is not actually a religion.
No, but we unfortunately lived among southern baptists.
yes it is
Dude .. my mum was Christian and she converted to Islam.
It does happen, just because you dont see it, doesnt mean it’s not there. Stop being so ignorant and open your eyes to the real world. Trying looking past the Western propoganda and media and form a more balanced opinion
Damn you’re stupid. Christianity IS AN EASTERN RELIGION .. in fact it originated like 50 miles from my home country in the middle east. The Romans hijacked the religion.
Anyway, I go to the mosque here, and theres like 50% of them men and women (white americans) are converts from Christianity to Islam.
The entire Arabian Peninsula was a part of Africa first off.. we just attained certain physical features to adapt to where we live. So how we’re “white” according to you is illogical, and no. Arabs do not share genetics with Jews in any close manner (technically we all do if you go far back enough) but the Father of Arabs is Ismael, the father of Jews is Isaac, and we all share the grandfather Abraham.
“…Arabs do not share genetics with Jews in any close manner (technically we all do if you go far back enough) but the Father of Arabs is Ismael, the father of Jews is Isaac, and we all share the grandfather Abraham….”
By this statement alone you are contradicting yourself jaymelz. If Abraham is the grandfather of of arabs and jews (actually he is the father of both religions), then GENETICALLY, arabs and jews are about as close as, say, brothers!
i’m serious. whats more non-jesus than athiesm?
Retards who are going to deny this post:
He’s talking about upper-middle class urban white people. The fags you see sitting in Starbucks near the local university and listening to indie music.
Not Middle-American white people.
It’s primarily about class.
No it’s not.
Atheism. Coffee table booksmarts, stolen ideas, colonial attitudes, pseudo-“humanist” politics–Atheism. How it didn’t crack the top thirty of a stuff white people like list…well, is beyond this Atheist.
Ismism?
Well its perspective and opinion but I think its more an ideology than a religion…
Ha! this is so funny
Agnosticism totally pwns atheism as far as religious (non-religious?) views white people have.
Sure, but then we’re forgetting Moonies, New Agers, Spiritualism, and a hodge-podge of other American cults in their thousands. I mean the Mormons even got their own state, for crissakes! McGod bless Uhmericuh.
Ah, Christianity is big in Africa and South America too.. and Korea.
Regardless, you know the sort of people he’s talking about.

if thats not prooof that white people jack off to christianity and its ideals i duno what is. christians are mostly white, middle easterners(jews arabs)are considered white according to the u.s.a
white people and some European whites tend to claim any non-white people whom they see as contributing to human civilization (Egypt, Persia, Turkey, etc.).
When I was growing up, my father tried to inculcate a patchwork spirituality, primarily pieced from scraps of Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Zen and Judaism – he lived on a commune for seven years and rebelled violently against his Episcopalian parents. I went to church with my grandparents regularly as a child, and today, I’m still an Episcopalian. Just goes to show, once again, that my father and I are both classic white people.
at the end of the day you pretty much show how white people always com back to christianity…..the guy who wrote this thing even has another topic where he mentions white people like christmas because it forces christian ways on other people. it’s true. white people ar always gonna be down with the jesus train…
You should have put on your list Unitarian Universalist as an alternative religion to their parents, even though UU’s have no dogma.
My parents aren’t religious, so this immediately doesn’t apply to me.
But I don’t even believe in Jebus!
i think this whole site is made by racist pigs who deserve severe legal punishment!!!
but of course im white not black therefore i have no rights
your all pricks
You tell em! I mean, while you can use your right to free speech to call the WHITE guys who run this blog “pricks”, they shouldn’t be able to use that same right to make a light-hearted humorous blog.
We should just throw out the whole Bill of Rights while we’re at it…watcha’ think Simon? Idiot.
oh saaave me Jebus!!!
Neither are mine. You must become a Southern Baptist.
Go easy on him Garrett, he’s still mad about not being a gifted child (#16).
I prefer no religion at all. But that’s not spiritual, hence confirming my non-white status.
thanks
Interesting how it has to be “white people”.
Richard Dawkins is more more interesting and funny
If it weren’t for white people there wouldn’t be a religion
religion has been around LONG before white people became civilized.
This is so true: spiritual, meaning any religion that doesn’t involve Jesus. I am so glad I work around black people, who love them some Jesus.
There was probably religion before there even were white people!
Ooh, that’s original.
Religion is a set of beliefs about spirituality i.e. God and all of the things that come along. Some religions have more trappings, symbols, and practices than others. Atheism, the belief that there is no god, is a belief about spirituality.
UM I am pretty sure white people didn’t white people didn’t come up with Zoroasterianism. Which by the way was introduced to us by Zoroaster after he wandered alone in the desert without food or water for some serious period of time. Delerium? Religion? Difference?
I’m pretty sure thousands of blacks converted to the nation of islam in the 60s and 70s and rejected the religion of their parents.
i think these are all jokes….
Obviously you are the “wrong kind of white people.” By the by, “your all pricks” should actually be “you’re all pricks.” (Reference rule #99) Just thought you should know!
Most of the white people I know are agnostic or atheistic.
… only out the mouth of a “white person”
none of the four largest religions in the world were founded by white people. (christianity, islam, hinduism, and buddhism in that order)
I am starting my own religion and calling it Golfatarianism.
ohh durr durr durr
if there wasn’t white people, there wasn’t anybody.
but i suppose that the snails would be praying to jesus for some big spectrum-less figure to come pour salt on him for his corrupt veggie-eating ways!!
But Jesus IS involved in Islam. He’s a prophet.
And I think most white people like making fun of scientology more than joining it. That shit is expensive, and South Park has criticized it. Ooh, you should do an entry on South Park!
Atheism is big with white folks too.
It’s Proven by Science now:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/27/changing.religion.study/index.html
You should do an entry on hating scientology, that’s such a stereotype.
I mean, it’s a money making scam, but who cares, right?
Its sad.
Young America has unfortunately fallen victim to the moral relativity of the Baby Boomer wizards who secretly troll these sites and social networking sites to convert them. Hey, its not hard either.
Want a religion tailor made to suit immoral principles? Continue you your relationship with your liberal college prof or kiss Obama on his mouth.
Want to truly find God. Try reading the Bible seriously. or the Koran. Jesus is the way, but not via your parents hypocrisy. Find it for your self.
I am Agnostic because it makes the most sense to me. I was raised in the methodist church but came to realize that christianity is based on folklore and mythology so I discontinued my belief in it. It pisses my dad off that I believe this way but we’ll just have to disagree on this one.
Royce;
I am Agnostic too and so are most of the white people I know. I think christianity is a silly religion that expects it’s believers to suspend rational thouht in order to believe in the diety of Jesus (son of god, virgin birth, walked on water, rose from the dead to name just a few).
I would have much more respect for christianity if they said that it was based on the teachings of this man named Jesus to was a wise man and a philosopher and got here the same way the rest of us mortals did (parents had sexual intercourse, Jesus was conceived and 9 months later was born).
To me, the dvinity of Jesus is just a way for christians to glorify their religion and nothing more.
And BTW, my mom, who was a late-in-life born-again was convinced that I am going to hell because I am a non-believer.
keith;
Oh, so you need to be christian to love one another, treat others with kindness, etc. I too am Agnostic and I do all those things plus I am an honest, law-abiding, tax paying citizen. I don’t need to follow some fairy tale based religion to know how to behave.
If your god is so all knowing and all powerful why is there so much misery and suffering in the world? Why do millions of children starve to death every year? Why did over 200,000 people die in the 2005 Tsunami?
There is no invisible man in the sky who is actively involved in mankind’s affairs. We are on our own here on earth and it is up to us to make the best of it.
How right you are! Education and enlightenment are the twin enemies of organized religion, especially christianity. That’s because when people really stop and think critically about christianity they realize that the basis of it’s belief system makes absolutely no sense.
Yeah i would put aetheism as well because many people i know have realized the real truth that science has proven religion as a fairy tale sorry all you Faith nuts out there
actually like the others said i am pretty sure that we can all agree that the majority of white people who do choose to change their faith do not pick scientology lol after south park it was all over and we all saw that one or at least know about it
The bible is nonsense….
The majority of white america is Christian… along with all colors….
Why believe something that is a combination of pre-bc literature and middle ages nonsense?
thank you alex, seriously though there needs to be a major movement across the united states concerning religious fanatics. Why do people still believe in this pure stupidity? It is so blatantly obvious that major christian doctrine,leaders and people of blind faith of the religion have just been screwing up the whole country making other abide by their rules and electing office positions to people because they share the same ideals. I mean come on now people barely know the actual policies of elected government officials as opposed to deciding if they would like to drink a beer with them or what church they go to its so stupid
and not just the united states pretty much all of europe since the beginning of christianity. Seriously has anyone ever read at least a highschool level history book and not realized what happens when these morons come to power people suffer.
Umm…Christians are not the only ones that make others suffer. Consider what Eugenics has done to the world. Consider the cruel tests that Nazi scientists conducted on Jews during the holocaust. Did you skip that part in your high school history book. People will always make other people suffer. It doesn’t matter if they do it under the name of Christianity, science, or sovereignty; people will find reasons to kill and oppress their fellow human beings. If you would broaden your view a little, you might realize that.
okay Dave well i know your obviously one of those people who needs to make yourself look smarter than everybody else but that wasnt really my point the point was that Christianity is the RELIGION that made people suffer the most through history. This post is about religions Eugenics is not a religion and Nazis are just german people this isn’t the thread about pain and suffering obviously people make other people suffer through other ideals but you cant even argue that Christianity is the religion that makes people suffer the most.
[…] Other Supreme Buddha By tenthweb I read this article yesterday, and I think it influenced the manifest content of my dreams last night. Also while […]
Your right, you can’t argue that Christianity is the religion that makes people suffer the most.
Look at the inhumane treatment of the untouchables in Hindu nations. Look at the unjust treatment that women receive in Muslim nations. There are plenty of other religions out there that have just as bad or worse rules and intolerances as that of Christianity.
I believe it was the western civilization (aka America and Europe) that developed such things as religious tolerance, democracy, and the right of anyone over the age of eighteen to vote. If Christianity can take heat for what is wrong with America, it should probably get some praise for what’s right with America.
My point with the eugenics and nazi scientist cruelty was that even scientifically minded people can make other people suffer. You’re deluded if you think that by eliminating Christianity, or any religion, people will not suffer as much. Science fanatics can be just as cruel as Religious fanatics.
By the way, I could care less if I look smarter than anyone. I just think you’re arguments have some major flaws.
Okay the first sentence you wrote you said “Your right, you can’t argue that Christianity is the religion that makes people suffer the most.”
Then you said later “By the way, I could care less if I look smarter than anyone. I just think you’re arguments have some major flaws.”
1st
Clearly the point i was trying to get across reached you because you agreed.
2nd you are trying to argue with me a point that i am not even talking about
3rd you must be trying to make yourself look smarter because of all these name drops you are using and feeling the need to explain to me what western civilizations are
4th Although there is oppressed peoples in other countries suffering due to religions, taking your examples women and muslim countries or the hindu untouchables, it is definitely fact that christianity have oppressed, tortured , murdered, made people convert their real beliefs then other religions.
5th instead of scientifically minded people we just need intellectuals who can put 1 and 2 together and realize hey maybe this is not factually accurate.
What i am really trying to convey to you is that i BELIEVE that the world would be a better place without religion in it. Sure it gives people hope sure it makes people love or whatever but the cons outweigh the pros here and thats that

uhh.. islam does involve Jesus. hes mentioned more in the quran than he is in the bible.
just wanted to let you know
Yeah, I did think about that and considered not using Islam as an example for that fact. But as was boldly pointed out to me before, we are discussing religions here. Religious entities are another matter. I made the assumption that since Muslims don’t have a whole lot of political power in either America or Europe that they weren’t included in the religious sects that are apparently ruining the western civilization.
By the way, are you sure that Jesus is mentioned more in the Quran than the bible? I’m not saying you’re wrong; I just want to know that that is valid before I put it in my mental bank of odd information. Do you have a source?
Hooray for the Holy Moody Bible Institute!!!
I have met Jesus on a personal basis…he is REALLY pissed at the religious right in the USA – ( “religious wrong” he calls it).
This fits me for sure. I bought a Butsudan that compliments the living room. I still drink beer but bow to my altar on a daily basis.
Jesus who?
I reckon may be as part of this category or in category of its own, White people looooove the new atheism.
I’m a white male who is ‘“spiritual” but not religious.’ I’m a veggie. I meditate.
In spite of my responsible financial career, mortguage and middle class suburban lifestyle, my step-mother convinced my weak and dying father that I would give away all my money and live in an ashram.
I was disowned.
Seriously.
Do you suspect that the real reason may have something to with my marrying a lovely black/indian woman after my step-mother, in the middle of a crowded restaruant, at the top of her lungs, demanded that I never marry a black woman?
Do you think that dogs may be so well adjusted because they are separated from their parents and siblings a few weeks after birth?
I do.
“Jesus mentioned more in the quran than he is in the bible.”
if you are including the old testament in your word count, of course, which, apparently, most here haven’t read
Much like “white people,” the people who replied to this post are just commenting on other groups of people they claim to have some expertise on. As a Jewish Studies scholar, I advice you to actually research your claims that the original Jews were “African,” in the sense that people think of that term today. Middle Eastern would be a more appropriate term. Yes, modern day Jews (Ashkenazi, Sephardic, or Mizrahi) are very genetically similar to other Arabs in the area (such as Lebanese, Jordanians, and Palestinians) as has been proven by numerous genetic studies.
A comment on the last post: You spelled Israelites wrong. Do not claim that the “Jews of today like to think of themselves as white” when you are not a Jew (obviously) and have no proof of your claim. I would think that most Jews think of themselves as just that, Jews, and perhaps the region their ancestors emigrated from (Eastern Europe, Middle Eastern etc).
eastern religions like hinduism/buddhism/sikhism you have to be born into those religions, an they stress naturality of self, and the use of their beliefs..yo cant ‘become’ them basically, so this post is clearly wrong
christians want to impose their faith on everyone, make everyone a jesuit…
Whatever do you mean? You can convert to Buddhism, or even Daoism (Taoism) for that matter. A Buddhist follows the eightfold path, Meditates, and basically practices. A Daoist Follows a natural order by following nothing. The Dao means the Way but since it can’t be named or described, this is taken as an allegorical construct.
So, enough on that. You are mostly wrong. I mean, if you have to be born into an eastern religion, then how did they spread? Buddhism started in India and made its way to Tibet, China, Japan, Thailand, etc. You are correct about Christianity. Jesus commanded his followers to be “fishers of men..” so yeah, they are into a one world religion (theirs). But this is true of all Abrahammic cults.
“F” see me after class.
Weak…

Black and Indian? dnag, i dont think i’ve seen a woman with those mixtures… i bet she’s a beauty. (no disrespect)
i dont know about that either, but i do know for a fact that jesus is the most quoted man in the qua’ran.
LOL why do people get so offended? why do they choose to read it? anyways, TRUE
You will soon learn “facts’ are not always “truth”…grasshopper (suicide…right – HA!).
where was he?…hiding?…tell us..there’s a shitload of people saying they know him.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, MIKE…it is just that we have more evolved minds than ignorant “ignoranus’s” like you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
darnell, you have a tiny dick, don’t you?
LOL. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall(and then became mentally retarted)… people with opinions are assholes…full of Sh*t (I guess this makes me one too)
You forgot Wiccan. It gives us a chance to talk about how awesome it is that there’s a religion that invokes both a male AND female entity. You know, equal rights for all!
Also, you forgot Rastafarianism. I can’t tell you how many white rastas. I ask half of them why they converted and they usually respond ’cause they like weed and reggae.
*chortle*
excuse me while I go vomit forever.
Don’t forget Pastafarianism
Got one up on you (oh the irony): Pagans who say they don’t believe in anything. But they say they’re Pagans. I guess to them it’s Latin for “none of the above,” not “hick who worships hick deities.”
In the main my experience in Neopagandom and my observations of how white people respond to Islam tell me that white people are more interested in professing belief than in practicing what their religions teach. The surest way for a Muslim to get themselves labeled intolerant or fundamentalist is to actually crack open the Qur’an, read it, and do what it says. The shock. The horror. You mean Allah was *serious*?
Yarrrrrr!
Ye be a fine lass, Kay.
I’m sure you ask LOTS of white rastas why they converted…
Lol, this was quite entertaining. Although in Islam you have to believe in Jesus as well, so not sure how that worked its way into this list =P
I don’t get the “spiritual without religion” fad. O.o
Actually, that comment about white people and Buddhism isn’t exactly true. If you pay attention to what the skinny white dude with snails on his head had to say, you do have to give up stuff, like your ego.
The problem with white people is they tend to turn other people’s religions into watered-down, new age-y crap. Buy a statue of the smiling chubby guy that isn’t actually Buddha, along with a black lacquer table, burn some incense, stare into space until your legs cramp and YOU’VE GOT RELIGION! Then work out your leg cramps with yoga, followed by some brown rice sushi and free trade coffee. Don’t forget to wear the organic cotton t-shirt dyed the attractive but environmentally toxic shade of blue.
If I weren’t a white Buddhist myself, I’d hope they all get reincarnated as frogs only to get munched by riding lawn-mowers outside the McMansions they inhabited in past lives. But Buddhists are supposed to give up those kinds of thoughts. LOL.
Oh yeah, and white people also really like acronyms . . .
Oops, I meant Indian dude. You get the picture.
What about Gnosticism? It’s the hep New Age Christanity. All the cool (White) kids are doin it.
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. (Albert Einstein)
pmsl, yep!
I found out recently that Will Smith is a scientoligist!!! wtf! gullible white people I can see turning to this c**p excuse for a drug addled science fiction writers ‘religion’ but Will Smith! I never had him in the Tom Cruise mong camp!
The religion of the future is reason and freethought.
will smith=white i mean really come on skin color doesnt make you white anymore its more then that
White people certainly do not like Michael Bay, and Abraham Lincoln calls him out on it
http://lincolnsaysuncool.wordpress.com/2009/07/22/lincoln-says-uncool-michael-bay/
what about the church of the flying spaghetti monster? a lot of white kids used to love that.
How accurate you are. American Buddhism is weak. It’s a “feel-good” watered-down version of Buddhism. To cut through the spiritual materialism I have to read the original texts, and cut out the middle man — or study directly under someone who is from the East and has lived there all their life.
Now that I’ve studied Buddhism for 20 years, I also like Hinduism and shamanism just as much, if not more — they all seem to go together, hand in hand.
Taco, you are of the religion ‘bullshitism’….that’s the religion of lying about all the other religions you’ve studied…and you’ve been in the religion of ‘bullshitism’ for 20 years….
20 years of spreading…….well, you know already…
Actually it is Moses, but I’m not a scholar. I’m sure if you email someone perhaps at muslimmatters.com, they can find you someone who knows exactly. On a side note, there are more references to his mother Mary. There is actually a whole chapter called Mary which is one of my favorite Surahs (chapter).
Guilty as charged. But I am actually Tantra Buddhist and actually use my religion to help my daily life.
To join a trendy, groovy or funky religion is to call in work “sick” for the “immaculate feast of…maximum occupancy”. Your religion involves worshipping a pr0n star image on the bedroom wall, refusing to do whatever people ask you to do and even claiming yourself as the “second messiah”. Go join a cult compound and be ready when a spaceship behind the comet comes, YEY! we’re saved.+
People join/convert into a new religion to fulfill a spiritual need. Remember the 1970’s after baby-boomers hit the age to start thinking like their parents have? Millions of them became “born again” Christians by watching someone like Jerry Falwell or some televangelist phony frauds who live like the very hypocrites they are. Kabbalah is for Jewish celebs wanting to appear “new age-enlightened-spiritual” and white people too like Catt Stevens (now Yusuf Islam) convert to Islam. +
I learned about Germanic neopaganism stuff from NSBM or Norwegian-Swedish Black Metal, a code word for “National Socialist” or “Non-Christian/Satanic”. In the early 90s, this new genre of hardcore rock/death metal involves chanting about Nazism, racism, hatred of Christianity, satanic pagan cults, violence towards Jews or racial minorities living in the country, and burning down churches in bonfire-like rituals. But this wasn’t what neopaganism is really about, as if the Vikings or the Norsemen were violent conquerors defeated by Christian missionairys who are Jews to weaken white Aryan pride, NSBM is a bunch of B*S I never really listen to and they believe in the world of gods “Asgard” is in Iceland.
White people are increasingly turning to new religions: Atheism is a religion of NO theocratic belief, Agnosticism is a religion with a sense of spirituality unsure of a god exists, Deitism is a religion has a god of some kind outside mainstream religion and Humanism is a religion emphasize humans are in charge of spiritual forces by doing great things. I doubt this is self-centered people, though to be any of these things was viewed as immoral or egocentric in America for a long time. +
So is Europe, but in the early 21st century the European continent is the least religious/most secular countries in the world. France is like 50% “semi-religious” after 1500 yrs. of Roman Catholic presence, the former Soviet bloc has more atheists than believers and Scandinavians doubt any of this stuff about “god” or “no god” at all. There’s a saying now in Europe on “the churches are empty, but mosques are full” on the rapid-growth of Islam from immigrant communities settling in Europe and turning to radical Islam to fight back the racism, historical colonialism and cultural alienation. Last month, race riots struck France around Bastille day (July 14) the third episode of mass civil unrest in 4 years. +
In America, we have two contradictory beliefs in law: the freedom of practicing your religion or expressing your political beliefs, and etiquette: never discuss it with anyone you don’t know or not in a religious building (i.e. inside a church). These two rules won’t work together, like a bike-riding, pamphlet-pushing and door-knocking fundie from some church may be practicing their faith to spread the gospel, but I want him or her off my front porch…now. +
A religion without the same idea of “god” but the principle of spiritual forces are at work, that people can have an afterlife and Buddha himself is idolized in statues, paintings or in prayer. State atheism (i.e. Leninism, Marxism and Stalinism) and the cult of personality (i.e. Hitler, Mussolini and Kim Jong-il) may share the same traits of a god-less religion. Never let a madmen enter the realm of politics, yet we always tolerated madmen establishing new religions by the likes of L’Ron Hubbard of the Scientology corporation. +
Jews aren’t considered “white”…though Middle Eastern people are Caucasians living in warmer or sunnier climates, but Hispanic/Latino people are all “white”? esp. from Chile or Argentina? Black Americans can still be white by ancestry from the time of slavery, but not the east Asian Japanese although a few anthropologists find Caucasian or Ainu roots in them? Oh man, I’m half-French out of Europe (white cred) except my Cherokee Indian side lost the right of worship of the tribal original pantheistic polytheistic animistic spiritualistic faith (whoo…what a mouth full). +
White people used to have a religion preached only white men were created out of dirt, black people out of mud and the “sons of Satan” are actually “god’s chosen people”. Not only found in backwoods bible-thumping fundie cults in them hills by rednecks, but in ethnic nationalist politics and pseudo-science by racist white people to explain what made whites better than “the rest”? Pseudo-scientists sought to explain why blacks are “different” from whites, or German nationalists excluding people of Jewish origin, why Jewish people behave in infamous antisemitic cultural stereotypes: “their genes made them behave that way”.
Charles Darwin, the forefather of scientific evolution, thought all human races have a common origin and are one single species without major variations in biology (same applies to dogs or cats, so many breeds are still the same species of animal). But white Christian churches in the late 19th-early 20th century preached not only their religion is “true” but the people of a certain skin color, nationality or classes are superior, inferior or wicked, except Christianity wanted to convert the “heathens” of the far-flung colonies outside of Europe. White slave owners ignored the old testament book Exodus about the evils of slavery, but thought black people aren’t “created in god’s image”? +
White parents teach the idea of “god”, “Jesus”, “heaven” and “angels” the same way to protect children’s innocence from learning about reality, sex, birth and death; and the same parents avoid mainstream traditional Christianity in a way it may “confuse the child” and “teach intolerance of other faiths”, the parents rather have public education and unquestioned parental authority to instruct them what are proper social mores are. My Mom and Dad’s ancestral churches are morally perfectionist, but they broke off of church influence and still, remained “Christian” enough to instruct me & my brother to “always work and do it hard” and “wait until you’re married” though are cool with their kids turning out chronically unemployed or an unwed father. +
Does most of Christianity have female saints or deity-like observance of the Virgin Mary? The problem of traditional christianity is they emphasized mostly that men are strong, self-sufficient, chivalrous, independent, won’t back down and “superior” in certain aspects limiting them to gender roles: husband, landowner, father, worker, breadwinner and protector of wife & kids. Some hardline Protestant churches criticize the “Pagan” origin of Roman Catholicism, the “matrilineal” lineage of Judaism and the woman’s right to say 3 times: I divorce thee in Arabic in the Islamic religion. Therefore, certain monotheist faiths actually allow women to be free…and don’t forget most Protestant sects & non-denominational churches have female ministers. +
To defend yourselves the right to follow any religion you want, chose to be in or “I was born in/of your parents” is part of who you are, but it doesn’t matter if one is a Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Jew, Christian, Muslim, Pagan or atheist: we all have our way to worship god or follow a moral/socio-religious code based on ethical and personal convictions. We just “let live” and “let it be” when it comes to tense situations when our religion is challenged or we find one thing offensive, due to ones’ personal religious beliefs.
Liberals and radicals alike oppose strict religious dogma out of a time when less people (I guess) had access to public education based on scientific reasoning, like we learned the earth is not the center of the universe and not a flat plate, and we know about mankind are descendants of primate-like mammals, as well white, black, brown, bronze, yellow, ochre, olive, pink and red people are the same human species. The problem is in most of the world in the year 2009: women have no equal rights in many countries, and class disparity between the rich and poor is catastrophic. +
The Baptists, usually the southern and fundamentalist kind (i.e. Westboro Baptists) are moralistic, perfectionist, low tolerance of certain “wrong” behaviors, have difficulties in forgiving people who may be 1. Gay/lesbian (or men with metro-sexual behavioral traits), 2. Women (feminists or activists), 3. in other churches (double for non-Christian) and 4. the hypocrisy/flip-flopping/political preaching/rants of “welfare queens, sluts turned single moms, druggies, pedophiles, adultery, self-idolatry, etc.” are tolerated in society (not really) or get away with bad moral behaviors. The Baptists instruct people to abstain from drinking any amount of alcohol, a few churches with tobacco, avoid dancing or certain music (i.e. hard rock being “satanic”), even political ideologies with “atheistic” views such as Communism or Liberalism, and when you’re poor, go to the church for help, don’t get welfare or “get a job”, since sloth or laziness is viewed sinful to the fundamentalist crowd. +
LoL! The Cherokee in the Carolinas and Oklahoma are very active in Protestant Christian churches based in the region: Baptist (esp. the “traditional” Cherokee Baptist Church), Methodist (more common in number), Presbyterians (the Scotch Irish white people), Lutherans, Moravians, Mormons, some (yet a small percent) Catholics and every church I hadn’t named. But my late grandfather raised Baptist was a spiritual Christian whom was moving to the Cherokee pre-modern tribal religion, about a god-dess figure “Sela/Selo” resembling the corn stock or the moon, and the legend of the first Cherokee village over 5,000 years ago: Ki-tuh-wa or Gi-du-wa, the very spot lies in western North Carolina. Unfortunately, this is all I know and hopefully not wrong. +
Without religion: we have no rules, morals, ethics, codes, laws, government, money, business, structure, civility and we seize being “human”. From burial sites of fossil early men in “ceremonial fashion” like funerals for loved ones to younger children in Japan examined by a psychiatrist in the most “atheistic” country on earth have a sense of “god” in speech, drawings, dreams, plays and “imaginary friends”, religion may be well inbuilt in our brains and genes.+
No wonder churches in America seek new converts, and in some cases: priests, monks, nuns, ministers or pastors out of other countries, mostly from Africa, Asia & Latin America. In Mexico and central America, Protestantism is growing, and so is in Africa: conflicting and clashing with Islam like in Nigeria, the Muslims and Christians erupt in civil unrest. The whole world in general is still religious, but the rise of very atheistic cultures of Europe since the end of WWII and in the former Soviet Union or bloc countries may be reversing in the words of a bumper sticker I seen a few years ago: “Russia brought back God in school, America has taken god out”.+
Shebangs (shebangs…oh, oh, oh, shemoves, shemoves…) you’re correct on most of the items, number 2 is based on anatomical studies of the similar body types in Indo-Europeans, Sino-Mongolians/Malayo-Polynesians, Africans (with a variance) and Australian/New Guinea natives.
There is the Palestinian nationality from a country (the West Bank/Gaza strip) not yet in existence, how race is only a social construct not a biological one, an ethnicity includes let’s say Flemish-Dutch and Cherokee-Osage Indian (that’s among my own), and religion: you knew about Black “Israelite” Jews, Burmese Jews, and a group of Jews goes back 500 years in New Mexico USA. Also White Muslims from the Balkans (Bosniaks, Kosovars & other Yugoslavs) and Asian Muslims (Indonesians, Malayans & some Filipinos in Mindanao).
American Indian genetics is more complicated, the majority of them including myself have evident east Asian ancestors, though new discoveries and modern science debunked the “out of Europe” or “lost tribe of Israel” theory, but began to examine a link with Australoids and the Ainu of northern Japan. Also white racists keep calling full-blood American Indians “timber/prairie n-rs or bunnies”. +
Mike Savage referred the Sufis the “hippies of Islam” from a notably secular Islamic country of Turkey: 97% Muslims and a few multiple minority faiths, including Sephardic Judaism and Armenian Christianity. Sufis aren’t the only microcosm faiths in the Middle East: the Alawi, Bahai, Copts, Druze, Jacobites/Nestorians, Mandaneans, Syriacs/Aramaeans, Yazidi and Zoroastrianians. In Iraq, the Saddam Hussein regime was very secular, repressed the Shi’ite Muslims (a majority over Sunnis 3 to 1) and Chaldean Christians left the country en masse. The Sufis are hippies? Long haired men in dresses? LOL, keep spouting hate or bigotry. +
ROFL! There goes South Africa (one down), Europe to go. I think North America is nearly complete, time for Australia and my work is done for Russia, the highest mortality rate/ lowest birth rate combo in the developed world. No vonda die Russkis chate ous Yuden people. Oy, hava Nagilah! +
OMG, Himmler convinced you too about the sci-fi fantasy novel is a real religion? The Odinists/Wotanists are one funky bunch of white people came up with a Nazi religion to make the white race “holy” above others. Himmler was into other “sun gods” of China, India, Korea, Persia, Tibet or Turkey, therefore a white German man may well be a secret Japanese agent (he has straight dark hair, inner eyefolds & light brown-beige skin). Himmler told Hitler he’s the “second coming” of a white Aryan Jesus Christ messianic figure, and Himmler was a Germanic tribal king in a past life, also said the Wolfenburg castle was the battle site where he beaten Romans in 9 A.D. and where the Nazi officers had a secret occult site of the “black sun” or Hindu Swastika symbolry. +
God can be anything: not a white guy, not a human thing, and nobody alive came back to tell the living “I met god & it’s what it looks like”. In several primitive tribes, historic empires like Japan and kingdoms including Great Britain have believed or felt “the divine right of the king/queen” or “the emperor descended from a divine god-couple”. +
The pre-Christian European religions had a “earth mother” or the goddess Europa depicted to be on a world-chariot pulled by some animal (cow/ox/bear/horse/wolf, unknown), therefore it should appeal to lonely nerdy (or horny) men into a very huge (pregnant) fertility goddess (some Greek or Roman statues had a goddess swollen with child or a baby on her lap/arms). To the early Christians who picked up the idea of the Virgin Mary from Pagan goddess worship in some way, the idea of a pregnant/birthing/nursing deity symbolized vulgar/profane sexuality or perversion in a way, but others contend pure and blatant sexism against a co-equal bearing of the male and female spirituality together. Now this is what white men kept to themselves for over 2,000 years: the idea of ritual sex, gender equality, fetish beautification and natural feelings, drives people crazy or nuts to find a way to worship life or happiness, not sick dirty creepy stuff or so the Christian fundies said.+
YEAH MY OLDER COUSIN WAS WICCAN FOR LIKE 2 YEARS LOL SHE SAID SHE WAS A WITCH AND SHE COULD DO SPELLS AND SHIT ON PPL SHE HAD TARRAH CARDS AND BURNED DIFFERENT COLOR CANDLES FOR EVERTHING LOL
The idea of gods, deities and spirits exist is instinctual for us human beings. An atheist is sometone who rejects all of them. To be atheist is said to be rebellious, though a person can and has an objectionable point of view about the idea of god may be more myth than fact or opinion. It is the person’s choice, for one’s own reasons and theirs only. +
Most white people I know are “Christian, but not religious” and “spiritual, but not religious”. I knew other non-christian people who “observe, but not traditional” and even “born that way, but chose the other way”. It isn’t a strict rule in America, for white people or black people or any people to belong to a certain faith because their people followed it for hundreds or thousands of years. Many children of Christian parents, Jewish parents or Muslim parents, for instance are converting to different religions out of their choice in record numbers. White people are always “church-shopping” and “spiritual-hunting”, but end up Buddhist or atheist? +
What kind of class? Stereotypes on what faith you are based on class applies: Rich people=Episcopalian/agnostic, Upper-middle class: Born Jewish/gotten into Buddhist, Middle class people=Conservative Lutheran/not dogmatic, Lower-middle-class: Ethnic Catholic/born-again Christian, and Poor people=Fundamentalist/southern Baptist. +
You could have written more about that. It’s very true though.
“God Is Dead.” –Nieztche
“Nieztche is Dead.” –God
Father was a NAGAP and convinced all of us. That is PAGAN spelled backward.
Grown-up children join religions, vote in political parties or associate in other groups to basically rebel or p-off their parents’ own beliefs or morals. It’s like to have parents who never swore or felt “stupid”, “toilet” and “shut up” are bad words have teens swear a storm or worse than sailors. Or have parents attend certain churchs where they abstain from coffee, never wear jewelry or flashy clothes, and don’t believe in owning stocks or having insurance plans…but their kids will when they become adults. +
First of all, Buddhism isn’t even really a religion. There isn’t a single “metaphysical” or “supernatural” element to it. Beyond that, many people observe the lives their parents are living with their chosen (or predetermined) religion and conclude that it is hypocritical, potentially dangerous, and far removed from its original philosophies. Keep telling yourself that kids only make decisions to rebel against their folks. It makes the world simpler and easier to digest.
Corey, you hit the nail on the head.
Coincidentally, I was raised Christian (in the Bible Belt, “lucky” me) and am finding the my true spiritual path is leading me to Buddhism.
Btw, “spiritual paths” would be another hilarious item to add to the growing list of SWPL. That and Robeks… which would be the ultimate smoothie joint if it were 100% organic! 😉
It is true, but the educated people in India also do not follow the religion of their parents whether Hinduism or Buddhism. It is not a revolt against religion but more of questioning the relevance of their parent’s wisdom in the context of the modern world.
You’re wrong Corey, haven’t you ever heard of reincarnation, attaining Nirvana, Karma, the Buddha which is attributed to have magical powers.
You don’t know anything about Buddhism. There are watered down forms of Buddhism, just as there are watered down forms of Christianity, but the root religion is full of supernatural elements.
Whatdayaknow? I was right on the fact Buddhism is a faith build on religious elements…and they say “we don’t have a god, unlike Christianity does”. Why is it white people seem to get into Buddhism, esp. the ones boosting of wealth and materialism? Buddha stressed his followers not to obtain alot (or have little) riches or possessions. +
who said white people were the first on earth?
I got an add for scientology under this. Creepy.
Grew up mormon so can yah blame me?
There are a lot of people who stay with the religion they were
brought up in. However, I can guarantee you that if you follow
any “Love” based religion closely you’re life will
“miraculously” get better. That would NOT include radical Islam.

You got me pegged. Buddhism has been great for my interior decorating. Simple but Eastern. An understated elegence that has the added benefit of pissing of christians.

Actually, I came home at 16 as a born-again Christian and my parents have spent the past 15 years trying to convince me I am in a cult. But I told them Jesus isn’t going where and to have an extra table setting for him whenever I come home for dinner. 🙂
Hello everybody, I am the asshole using enigmas name to type ignorant
oh! you definitely don’t know a shit about Islam! (I mean the author)
My parents call any church smaller than their own a cult. They go to a very large church…
i’s a muslim monkey G
[…] and Taoist definition, and it’s fine by itself—it very much falls under the category of stuff white people like. Given this definition, I would think that the Force is more like an absolute calm and acceptance […]
Pissing off Christians is a full time sport for white people!
White people make the worst Christians.
Check our site out, all of the games are awesome!
Interestingly, Americans are the least likely to maintain a religion for life and often, family members attend different places of worship. Does it really matter your parents are Christian, Jewish, Muslim or whatever else? Not always, but one has the right to make a decision on what they believe.
Anyone know about the Northern Ireland issue? The two fighting peoples: Protestants for British rule and Catholics for Irish rule, but both sects are Christians in separate churches. +
The fear of Islam in western society is built on nothing more than ignorance or fear of differences in people. Have we learned the danger of intolerance from 9/11 by those who hate America, Christianity and Jews? Hate leads to more hate, why can’t we learn the golden rule taught in all faiths? “Do unto others as they do unto you”. The world can be more peaceful instead of more misguided religious zealots or extremists, whether they are Muslim, Christian or not either, I dispise religion being used to hurt others. +

enigma da director #1 on August 29, 2009 at 11:09 pm
I’m back ya’ll and I figue I will start another lil story. I see I have enough players to make a decent little drama. After reading the post on this site, I decided to name this lil story,
“No country for dumb men”
enjoy
Let me tell you a story about a time when I almost got away with identity theft. Oh, who am I. I go by many names, but due to the fact I watched one too many tough guy movies, I call myself, Hot Foot Luke. I know, it’s a silly name, but due to the fact that I am not considered cool, hot seemed like a more logical choice. Anyways, I live in a city suburb in the mid west. I can’t disclose the actual location because,….. well, if I did, it would get more people one step closer to finding out who I am. I always had trouble in school, but I am finally about to graduate. My mommy pulled a few strings for me and convinced the principal to allow me to graduate this year. Yessss, I was starting to feel the pressure of being 23yo and in still in high school. I started to feel like, well, it just was’nt cool anymore. Anyways, my story begins, the way so many do, on a clear blue monday morning.
As my alarm clock rang and broke my slumber, I had a feeling this was going to be one of those days. I hate going to school, I hate having to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to catch the school bus. My only biggest regret though was staying up late last night watching dirty cable movies. But since I can’t get a girl friend, a nerds got to do what a nerds got to do. I get from under my sheets and I shove my teddy bear, Daisy, under the bed where no one will find her. Dear ol Daisy, she has gotten me through some really lonely nights. She used to be my lil sisters teddy, she had her all dressed up. When she went away to college last year, I took advantage of the oportunity and snatched her and hid her in my room. Her fur placed against my skin feels so natural to me, not to mention, with the lil outfit lil sis put on her, I can hide my glory hole around her private areas pretty well. The hole is nice and small, easy to miss, but nice and roomy for me to do what need to do. Daisy is a very good lover, but I have no time to day dream about it now, I have to rince the residue of me and Daisys hot late night cable porn adventure off my hands. Then again, on second thought, it will take only a minute. hehe, come here daisy.
Hot foot luke reaches underneith the bed to retrieve his beloved lover Daisy, the teddy bear. He unzips the long pajama zipper on his on peice footie pajamas and rest his love on his chest, rubbing the nose against his nipples.
“oooooh, you feel sooo good baby” he says in a slow dliberate voice.
He slowly slides the lil cheerleader bear outfit off of daisy and pulls down his underwear exposing his teddy bear pleaser tool. He slides daisy’s exposed privates down towards his lil wee wee. With a blank teddy bear look on her face, she slowly mounts mt. Luke. Hot foot shutters with pleasure. His breathing is getting deeper and more intense. Beads of sweat is starting to form along his body. Daisy continues to stare blankly forward as Luke does what he do. The pleasure is building up in Luke and he starts to thrust Daisys love hole even harder.
Now usually when Hot foot Luke has his lil make out session with his baby daisy, he is careful to lock the door to his room. The reason I brought that up is because HFL realized he did’nt lock the door as his mommy turned the door knob to enter to make sure he was up for school. She swings open the door and says……………….

enigma da director #2 on August 30, 2009 at 12:07 am
When we left off, Hot Foot Luke was in the middle of a hot steamy make out session with this little sisters teddy bear Daisy when his mommy came to check on him. She opens the door and says….
“you up my lil swee…………………OH GOOD!!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU LIL PERV!!!!!!!” she yells.
“MOM, IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK. I,I,I, I, WAS……..” he stutters.
“I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT, OH GOOD, AND IN THE PAJAMAS GRANDMA GAVE YOU…….HOW COULD, OH GOD.”
she closes her eyes and slams the door. Luke lost his mood that morning. He throws his teddy on the floor mad and embarrassed, not to mention ashamed. But to ad to his indignity, his bedroom door opens again and his mom storms in with rubber gloves on her hands and grabs poor Daisy.
“MOM, NOOOOO!!!!” luke yells
“DEMON, this, this, this, THING, is of the devil. To hell with it” she yells as she heads to the trashcan outside. Luke can’t protest but so much. He was always a mommas boy and did’nt have very much heart. Mom ran his life. As he watched her fussing as she threw his lover into the trash, everything seemed to move in slow motion.
“How dare that lil freak embarrass me like this” she rants outloud, ” and I know this bear, We won this bear….at the amusment park (sniff), what have you done, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE…..!!!!!!” she says getting louder and louder.
” YOU NEED JESUS, you… you…. you ….bear raping FREAK!!!, it’s your sisters bear, wait til I tell her what you have been doing to all her stuffed animals. You should be shame of yourselfff.” she rants.
Fearing his neighbors may be looking, Hot Foot Luke decide not to look around out the window for fear he may see one of them listening. He sheepishly gets dressed and sneaks past his angry mother who has just came back into the house. Luke creeps out the door, to ashamed to say his usual good byes to his mother. As he closes the door behind himself, he can still here her calling him a ‘bear fucking freak’.
He walks to the bus stop up the street from his home and he feels like the whole neighborhood is watching him. The bus can’t get here fast enough he thinks to himself as he takes his walk of shame. He thought the worst was behind him til he looked up at the bus stop and saw who was standing there. He looked up with pure dread in his eyes. His mouth became dry, a lump formed in his throat and his heart just sank. Standing at the bus stop was his bully UH HUH. Uh Huh was a senior in high school, and he always got pleasure in kicking Lukes ass so when Luke saw him there, he wanted to turn around and run but his feet wouldnt let him. He just sinks his chin onto his chest deeper and takes the last few steps to the bus stop.
“hey dumbass” Uh Huh says
“yes?” Luke answers as he looks up from the ground.
That was not a very good idea, as he looked up, he was greeted by a five fingers balled up into a big fist that landed in the middle of Hot Foot Lukes face. As Uh Huh stands there laughing, Luke realizes, it’s barely 6:15 am and his day is already THIS bad, it will only get worse. The bus pulls up and everybody gets on board. Uh huh, Greg214, will talk about him later, and our zero hotfootluke.
“I’m not as happy as I should be” Luke thinks as the bus doors close behind him. I don’t want to go to school he thinks to himself, but his fate is sealed, and he still has to face the biggest threat of all once he gets on campus. But first he has to survive the bus ride to school, and with everyone, including the bus driver who is screwing his mom picking on him, it may not be as easy as it sounds.
The bus finally arrives at the school and Luke scans the area to make sure the coast is clear of other bullies. Uh huh is not paying him any attention at the moment, so he grabs the opportunity flee. As he bolts off the bus, he beelines to his home room, grabs the desk closest to the teachers desk and he waits, waiting on who else will be arriving. Waiting to see who will be using him as a punching bag next. As he stares out the door, he sees the shadows of students going back and forth. Then a shadow stops and heads into the room. Luke looks aniously at the door to see who walks in, his eyes get big and palms get sweaty as he sees……………………………

When we left off last time, hot foot luke was cowarding in his class room waiting to see who his class mates would be. Then a shadow stops and heads into the room…………
Luke looks aniously at the door to see who walks in, his eyes get big and palms get sweaty as he sees a female student walk in. He felt sense of releaf seeing her. He let his gaurd down somewhat sensing she was no threat. To make a long story short, he experieced a drama free first half of class. Special education class was very good to him this year but every nerd knows, there is one place where they are not safe. 12:00 high, lunch time. The time of milk carton showers, lunch tray ducking, and giving up your lunch and lunch money judgement. Luke is dreading this time. No protection from the teacher, he has to fend for himself, but after 23 years, he has learned a trick or two to survive this horrible hour. He would set at the far end of the losers table with his head down, blending in with the rest of the more cooler and respected nerds. This technique did not work this time. Even the freshmen gave him hell, but thats another story. He survived his first day of school, but after his bus ride home, his life would suddenly change forever.
Luke got off the school bus and headed home, he breathed a sigh of relief knowing that his nimesis Uh Huh did not ride the bus home today. He was able to walk alil more confident than usual. As he was walking home this day, thinking how he will be the man once he graduates in June, something caught his eye. He looked down and saw a opened letter for the players ball. It was addressed to Big dick louie, For you L.7 (squares) folks out there, the players ball is for the coolest of the cool. The ball was tonight at 9pm, the letter said. Use the letter as proof for entry.
“I guess the mailman dropped the letter” luke thought to himself.
“If I put on my most spiffy clothes, I could remake myself into something cool. Look the part, be the part as the saying goes” he rationalized. ” I will just pretend to be Louie, They won’t know. There will be lots of people there, who will know?”
Luke rushes home, opens the door and heads to his room. Laying on his bed was a not written by his mother that says
” My son, my lil pervert. I never thought in a million years that you would break my heart the way you did. I want you out of my house. I made arrangements for you to live with your biological dad and his boyfriend. I will not have a freak living under my roof. Start packing you things, I will take you there this weekend.”
Lukes heart sank, he then remembered his beloved Daisy. He runs outside and opens the trash can. There, laying next to the burnt out vibrator and used condoms was Daisy the bear. He grabs his bear and runs back into his room. He closes his door and immediately opens his closet looking for something to wear tonight.
As he thumbs thru his old sunday suits, he tries to figure out what would a pimp wear to the ball. He grabs his 1984 Miami Vice pink shirt with white slacks. Yeah, this is nice. He needs a crown, he looks at his old hats but can’t find anything so he heads to his mothers room. He raids her closet and finds he has hit the mother load. She has a pink and white extra wide rim hat with chicken feathers on the side.
“yeah, I can work this” he says as he trys it on.
He then heads to her jewelry box and grabs several fake gold rings and gold necklaces.
“I am rocking this baby, now for the main attraction.” he thinks.
He reaches for the heavy duty wooden hanger with the long plastic on it that drags to the floor. He grabs that hanger and removes the plastic. Under the plastic is the killer, a grey and brown muskrat fur coat. He puts on the coat and profiles infront of the long mirror.
” I am da shit!!!!” he thinks to himself.
In his eyes, he thinks he is the man. But in reality, he is a royal hot mess.
It is now 8:00, he puts on his last minute touches. His mom wont be home til late tonight, she is out working the block. The keys to the second car is hanging on the wall, he is set. He grabs the keys to the car and heads out on his lil adventure assuming the name of big dick louie. Will it work, we will soon find out…….

Hey, I love having gay sex with my servants, and burning down orphanages! I write for http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com it’s a very unoriginal/unclever site. My penis is less than two inces long, and I have trouble getting it up!
When we left hot foot luke, he was getting ready to go to the players ball as big dick louie. All dressed up and looking like a halloween throw back pimp, he dashes to the car to take it to the function. He attempts to start the car but to his dismay, it will not start.
” I don’t get it, I got the key in the ignition…. what’s the matter?” he thinks to himself as he gaze blankly at the ignition switch.
“Mom never had a problem starting it before, let me try this again”.
He pulls out the keys and re-inserts it back in the ignition. He pauses and waits.
Nothing.
“What now?” he thinks to himself as he gets out the car.” Am I suppose to do something else?”
Our pathetic lil Luke never realized he has to turn the ignition key to start the car.
He puts the keys up and decides to catch a cab to the ball, He walks to the corner and looks for a cab but there is none to be hailed, so he decides to try his hand at hitch hiking. He raises his thumb and a old rusty pick up truck stops to give him a ride.
” Hi, my name is Kenny, but people just say killkenny for fun, yucka yucka, yucka.” the driver says.
“I’m Luke, hot foot luke, can you give me a ride to this address?” he says as he hands kenny the flyer.
“Well, yep, I sure can. Get on in.”
Luke gets in the truck and they head to the function.
“1 day a cuple yeers ago i suked a big juicy dick and it was good reel good. last nite my dad stuk his tung in myz asshole and i liked it i’s like it alot mm mmm. this mornin i was wachin saved by da bell on da tv end i’s got real horny when i’s saw zak morris so i started jerking off wit a cheeze grater it bes da best tug i’s ever had than i had myz dog (whos i namd al sharpton) like my cumy dick cleen!” Kenny says to Luke.
“Me too, that Zack is soo ho….., hey wait a minute. I’m not gay dude.”
Luke caught himself. I only jerk off to the black girl on that show, I never thought about having Slater in my mouth while Skreetch pumped me in my asshole. That never crossed my mind.” Luke says.
“Oh, I apologize, with your purty lil outfit on, I just thought……”
“don’t worry bout it Kenny,” Luke says with a slight smile. that is the first positive comment someone has said to him in a while.
“So…ummm…Kenny, when your dad… er.. stuck his tongue in your bootie, did it feel good?” Luke ask nervously.
“Well yes it did. It felt alil something like……” Kenny pulls over the truck and puts it in park. He puts his hands on Lukes shoulders and gently turns him to the truck door. Luke is soo obedient. He does as instructed. He starts to breath a little heavier as Kenny undos his pants. He has’nt felt this good since his lil love session with his teddy bear. Kenny leans over and sticks out his tongue and he……….
to be continued.
Will Hot Foot Luke accidently fart on KillKenny’s tongue?
Will the police creep up from behind and shine the spotlight on the two love birds in a compremising position?
Will the aroma of man lust musk attract a rabid raccoon that will bite Kenny on the ass while he is fucking Luke in the butthole?
Stay tuned boys and girls, for the next episode of
No country for dumb men.

Sorry, that’s how I get through life. At work, in school and with other people. More of a Californian thing, if I wasn’t in the state of Cal. I wouldn’t be required to, then I’m one of those autistic nerds or something tries to get by in life. I’m a product of my own environment, middle-class people get down on their luck and have to face reality. I share this guy’s sarcastic sense of humor on how he perceives the world through a “white man’s” comical point of view. +
See autism boy, I can dig up alot more on your dumb ass if you continue with this race shit that you started.
Test me bitch.
YOINK!
Naked men… thats wat im tlkin bout dogg
Naked white men screwing me wit no vasaline…now thats wat im tlkin bout dogg too!!
Michael D, you are the darkest bump on your moms fat butt and it is time you apologize to all the fine people on this site. We endured your stupidity for far too long and now it’s time to PAY WHAT YOU OWE! (where have i heard that before?) 😉 You stole my name and said stupid things, attempting to smear my already humble name. You posted the lamest comments known to mankind and hijacked entire sites for your own stupid amusment. Well judgement day is here, I see your sorry but decided to run like the wuss that you are, but not before you pay what you owe. I still have my name BEEEEOTCH, what about you? YOu can dish it but you can’t take it. You want US to leave you alone dummy, APOLOGIZE. Apologize for being a moron, for being a blogging terrorist who writes boring post, for calling me UH HUH and other folks on this site. If your dumb butt can’t figure out that their was more than one person sticking foot up you ass, then your a moron. It’s a shame that the best post ever posted with YOUR name were writen by other people. So apologize and all will right with the world again. We found you once, we will do it again.
“and you will know my name as the LORD, when I lay my vengence upon thee”

There has been numerous reports about comments coming from you and your other aliasis’. Please clean up your act or we will be forced to ban you from this site!

And there will be numerous more if Michael Deeeznutsinhismouth don’t pay what he owes. He started it, and we will finish it. Apologize beeeeotch!!!
“and you will know my name as the LORD, when I lay my vengence upon thee”
Couldn’t agree more. There will always be something to prove. Hell, desiring a world without religion is as many steps away from acts of hate as wishing for a world without homosexuality; eventually, some people will start trying to make it happen. Disagreement seems to always lead to violent conflict, especially when hot-headed, overly-sensitive people take command.
The real way to start quelling hate is by not getting offended so easily. A trait which I think this very site tries to instill in people. If you don’t take everything so personally, people’s differences start to matter less and less, whether you’re religious or not.
this is funny 2 me. I am half white and half black. ppl if you don’t like it don’t read it and you ppl making racist comments you all sound stupid. grow up and get a life. this web site isn’t getting forced on you.
I saw this site on http://www.DanielDickey.com(the MTV VJ) and must say it is just as funny!!
Did this guy make StuffJewishPeopleLike.com too?
this is some bullshit like 30% of this shit is true. i call prejudice, who ever created this, even if the author is white, needs to worry about some other shit an stop tryna categorize color. iono how stuff like this continues. its not that its discriminating, its that it is annoying when somebody walks up to you an supposes you do things according to your color. thats how ya get your ass kicked. these are what ya call “inside-jokes” …or is what i just said a white thing too?
This is true hahahaha i was totally like this when i was younger too.
hahahahahaha. Now you are a day older and MUCH wiser now. geez.
This is so true ~ how out of style to believe what your parents believe. My 18 year old niece just started college and is “exploring” other religions. I can’t wait until she finally realizes that “qi” and “zen” and yoga are bogus. Sure, it might be cool to burn incense in your room or hang some weird symbol (purchased at Urban Outfitters…seller of cheesy religious amulets), but there’s just no substance. She’ll come around.
oh yeah, and the same white people who won’t go to their parents’ church or temple because religion is “the opiate of the masses” are the same lame people who you see bowing and kneeling in temples in Thailand, China or India, feeling very spiritual while they’re traveling on their “year off”.
[…] to the hilarious website, stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. For an example of explanation, I will refer to #2. Religions that their parents don’t belong to. “White people will often say they are “spiritual” but not religious. Which usually means […]
i think you’ll find that opiates are in fact the opiate of the masses.
So what makes you “Sexy” Lily? Details?
wow, stolen from a B movie … deep. and it’s the (not “da”). “Da” just means you’re stupid
yoga is bogus? so bogus it didn’t need to be in “quotes” ?
does this mean that any other form of stretching and breathing exercises are also bogus?
Excuse me, but yoga is not a religion. It never pretended to be one, it will never become one. But you are right, yoga has no religious substance and it cannot substitute religion.
Relax, man, it’s just a web site. Get a sense of humor.
It means some people substitute things like yoga for overtly spiritual pursuits, like religion. When you take actual religion away, it creates a spiritual vaccuum people are desperate to fill. This isn’t to say yoga itself is inherently useless. but Baf, not as many people strangely find spiritual the experience of doing sit-ups or walking a stairmaster as they do in yoga.
If you still don’t get it: Yoga as stretching and even a relaxation technique isn’t bogus, yoga as alterative spiritual experience is.
Hey, check out http://www.cybernations.net !
Did you mean “mentally restarted”?…oh, and yeah, it does make you an asshole too!
One thing white people like to say, is to say things like Yoga are not religious just spirtual!
Outside the moneyed urban enclaves of America, there will be millions of white people, black people, Latinos, Asians and so on who are totally into church attendance or living a religious-oriented life. Check out the nondenominational kind where it has a large following among young adults (esp. males) from already dogmatic Christian families, they hold Christian rock concerts and recreation programs like bible-reading and outdoor activities (JC Lander, you can come…they won’t care you’re Jewish or even secular).
agreed
All white people engage in another ritual, this one quite early on in life: learning to write, speak, and punctuate the English language correctly. I hope your English instructors (for the love of God, I hope you are just recently learning the language) are trying to impart this to you.
I am Buddhist, and actually, despite what you say, you have to give up much to be Buddhist. You reject the status quo.
I am not Buddhist BECAUSE of the lack of Jesus or for any reason other than the fact that it is the perfect religion for me. And I will be giving up this life entirely in a few years to become a monk.
goodluck grasshopper
If you were really ‘the dude’ (as in the Big Lebowski), you wouldn’t be such an ass. :]
Alex you are way too sensitive.
when you give up this life, you will come back as fertilizer (ashes to ashes; dust to dust).
I know exactly what you mean. This really bothers me. I am white and I just stuck with my parents religion. I know white people who suddenly decide they need to be an atheist. Then they decide it would be better to be an agnostic, and so on. You can’t help but wonder why.
see swpl #130 “planning to give up all their possesions to join an ashram”.
Well, knowledge of the big three monotheistic religions will make you discard them. White people who “suddenly” decide to be atheist, just realize how ridiculous their religion is. You all are right that often the change results in some trendy, new age, bullshit look for their house or wardrobe. I know someone just like that he has tons of buddhas and asian art and could not tell you shit. Saying you are spiritual instead of religious is slightly pretentious, that much I will say.
It’s all fun’n’games until your parents are atheists.
I don’t have a religion its to complicated .
This site never fails to amaze me.
Check out this other great site at http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
I will be coming back as jenkem.
i think you mean “too”
I doubt it; smilecatcher probably believes that English is “to complicated” (sic).
Alex – Can I have your stuff when you leave?
Batman – If I don’t believe in atheists does that mean they don’t exist?
If it’s too complicated, then why are people from the south so good at it? LOL
actually most white people who convert to another religion convert to islam.
Alex, that “status quo” is part of life – whether in a family, community, or throughout the planet. You don’t have to “be” the status quo, but you can’t just reject it and run away. I’ve really benefited from trying to line up my thoughts with stuff being “as it is” (Tatagatha) and chilling out alongside it.
Of course, maybe being a monk works out even better, and you get an even better idea of what you should do! Who knows, I’m just some white dude that’s incapable of perfect religious practice!
First define what you mean by “bogus.” For me, if I said that Zen is bogus for (I’m assuming this is the point) not being a “true religion,” it would be a bit like if I never took Tylenol because it didn’t cure lung cancer.
Zen is much more a way of thinking and going about everyday stuff than worshipping something “out there.” It’s often paired with theistic beliefs such as Christianity. If Zen helps someone out in their everyday life, it’s not bogus for that person.
This is so true. My father was a Presbyterian priest who is now an atheist, my mother is “spiritual”, my half brother is muslim, his mother is Presbyterian, my grandmother is a strict Catholic, I’m agnostic, and my little brother has loudly proclaimed his lack of religion at Christmas dinner this past year. Fun stuff right there
Keep dreaming, you won’t have everyone to agree with your religious belief or POV. Sorry, it don’t work that way. Even cavemen had a sense of religion/spirituality, and in the future, a secularized agnostic/atheistic humanity will continue to have wars, conflicts or shown hatred toward each other for other reasons. To have a godless society is what the Communists are infamously known for (in the USA the official state atheist principle didn’t win our friendship in the cold war) and also a symbol of religious persecution.
Actually Islam does involve Jesus (Peace be upon him), he is one of the most loved and respected prophets. They just don’t believe he’s the son of God, because there is no God but God (Allah).
It is the fastest growing religion. Alhamdulillah.
give me a fucking break!
The more little rag heads Muhammed breeds, the more whitey will one day have to exterminate. Allah’s hoards currently infest the dirty armpit countries of the world with dwindling resources. The future for these camel smelling fanatics doesn’t look good. Islam is unable to innovate, adapt, nor live peacably with its neighbors. One day it will be them vs us, and we ain’t going down. Allah is a false god of hate, and Muhammed (God damn him) can bite me.
Read “grammar” in this blog.
lol
“Allah is a flase god of hate…”
You, sir, are an idiot. All the abrahamic religions(Christianity, Judeism, Islam, and the associated sub-groups) concepts of ‘God’ refer to the same entity. God/Allah/Yaweh are the same thing.
“Islam is unable to innovate, adapt, nor live peacably…”
Not only do you continue to demonstrate your tenuous grasp of the english language, but clearly have a limited understanding of world history. More people have been killed in the name of Christianity than any other faith. Do the crusades ring a bell? Probably not…
Turn off Fox news, put down your bible and your rifle, and go interact with some real brown people… not the ones you watch Jack Bauer torture every week.
Haha, give me a break is right! Religion is so freakin’ stupid- why waste your life believing in and dedicating yourself to something that sounds like a fiction story? A magical man creating Earth? Yeah, that really happened!
You rock. Thank you.
Just interesting to read all of the comments… Shows people’s true colors. I am an agnostic, or maybe a spiritualist. Regardless, I choose not to have a set religion not because it is “too complicated” or “God is false”. Not even because my parents don’t have a religion. I choose to stay open to all ideas and all walks of life. Bible-Beaters and Republicans are two religions I will only say I cannot stand due to their sheer ignorance. 😉 Not any one religion seems to be completely accurate and not one seems to be completely false. The most farfetched religion I’ve observed is Catholicism. I do embrace the idea of a “higher power”, whether it is God or Allah or any of the above, something is helping us move along the way we do.
But if there was no religion and no fear of a merciless God, anarchy would probably demolish the entire Earth, so thank the Higher Power for religion.
I hate, hate, HATE you. I am not a muslim, I’m an atheist. But you’re a f*cking racist, so go F*CK yourself. I hate, hate, HATE people like you, with all their prejudices. F*CK OF. ARGH!
Why not start your new religion? Scientology. XENU is my homeboy.
uhmm because some people think that to go to heaven you need to do good deeds, and to be nice, without any religin, the world would be full of murderers and alcoholics and horrible people. and it did happen, people go through things in life, some people just go through them with the help of other people, not god.
That is complete bullshit. Murder, Alcoholism, Violence these things are what we do. Its human nature. People kill in the name of religion. The Jihad, The Crusades. Religion gave birth to alcohol… the communion. If you think about it the world is a much better place without the politics of religion. Oh and religion gave birth to politics. Most unreligious people are actually peaceful. Going by what you’re saying all atheists are Murdering, VIolent Alcoholics.
Sir I applaud your absolute ignorance and lack of knowledge. You are living proof that god does not exist. If he did exist a moron like you would not. i would’ve thought that someone like you with your intellect and god are mutually exclusive- cant have both. I like the way you just put yourself in a category of “us”. Who said that category wants you? Most of the camel smelling countries you’re talking about have some of the strongest economies in the world. Without these countries your own country would still be using horsecarts due to lack of fuel. I anxiously await your reply. I would like to see if it is possible for a moron to further yet make an absolute tit of himself and then a bit more.
[…] Religions that their parents don’t belong to. Good luck finding a white person in law school who even has a religion. And, I’m counting Jews as their own ethnic group, distinct from white people. […]
“…..put down your bible..”
You honestly think that ignorant, hate filled person actually reads the Bible? I never would have guessed it.
If anything, he just sounds like an angry, adolescent poser who is making the rest of us look bad. Embarrassing, really.
People from the South are mostly good at driving to church on Sunday and singing hymns, then going home and never bothering to actually read the Bible and live out the Christianity they label themselves with.
No offense to anyone, of course. I’m from Tennessee. 🙂
Really, you are “open to all ideas and all walks of life”, but Catholicism is the “most farfetched religion I’ve observed” and “Bible-Beaters” is a religion you “cannot stand due to their sheer ignorance”. You definitely sound “open to all ideas and walks of life”. In refernece to what you have observed, have you ever read the tale of the blind men and an elephant? You might benefit from an indepth exploration of a “religion” before concluding they are farfetched. Also, I find it interesting that you embrace the idea of a higher power but don’t seem to really make an effort to truly understand this higher power. You seem to carelessly dismiss thousands of years worth of studying of this “higher power” by far more intellectual individuals that you or I. Not to mention that you dismiss the thousands if not millions of people who have given their lives for this higher power. Kinda ironic. Good luck on your pursue of truth.
Hmm, at the moment the majority of the worlds people are religious and we have plenty murderers, alcoholics (not quite as bad as murderers but mentioned above rapists and child abusers regardless) and of course horrible people.
Maybe we should give no religion a try?
I don’t think religion makes people tow the line, rather fear of prison rape and shared toilets and you don’t need to be religious to fear that.
We have given “no religion” a try. Its called Communism. Think North Korea, China, Cuba, old Soviet Union, etc. Try it if you would like. Move to any one of the remaining Communist countries and let us know how it works out. Following your logic, it should be a very pleasant experience with no fear of murderers, alcoholics, rapists, child abusers, or horrible people. Good luck
This just goes to show you obviously aren’t white!
So true. My catholic parents have heart attacks when I wear my satanic tees to christmas dinner. I even sell them http://www.zazzle.com/smillerart+gifts
buy one for your mom
I literally never get sick of this web site!
Here’s another good one: http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
Guess what? You’re a self-promoting tool!
People who call themselves Satanists to piss off their Christian parents are tools mocking both religions.
AGREED
Wicked good comment mo
HA! Religion did not give birth to alcohol. Communion wine is the real presence of Christ’s body. Alcohol has been consumed by humans for the entire existence of Homo Sapiens in the form of fermented fruits. Many non- religious people ARE kind, understanding peaceful people. But not you.
Not true. It is growing at roughly the same pace as Christianity.
Shite, man. The Crusades were a response to Muslims invading Europe and subjugating catholics. The Crusades were full to the brim with evil deeds on BOTH sides.
I agree!!
I guess that person isn’t white 😦
LOL
people who are satanists to piss off there parents are usually teenagers pushing limits in attempts to become ther own person and differentiate from there families… tool-like behavior perhaps, but this does not make them tools.
Religion should not be mocked, but unthoughtful name calling and snap judgements aren’t particularly Christian either.
Don’t be a fool…wrap your tool.
I did’nt see athiests…I’m an athiest…I WANT MY PROPS!!!!
crack cocain…. mmm
Because Atheists aren’t white.
Of course they are, at least most of them are. I’m starting to see a lot of black ppl cross over to that path, tho.. it’s kinda weird.
dude… most atheists ARE white… that was SO a WHITE thing, being atheist… i’ve only met one black atheist…. but soooo many white atheists… blacks are known to be crazy religious… like speaking in tongues religious… lol
i like the Non-Believer shirt. its nice.
I’m an Asian atheist?
I live as far from the Bible belt as one can get. I agree, white folks do think they are spiritual as long as it doesn’t involve Jesus. They throw $5 in the plate; leave if the service exceeds 45 min, think Bingo replaces tithing as a legitimate funding source, (as long as there is beer involved). And wouldn’t know the Holy Spirit if He bit ’em on the nose. And have you ever gone to a white funeral? You’d think you were the dead guy! They confuse religion with Christianity and the right religion is like the right country club and all that pesky relying on someone other than self crap sort of messes with having a mistress, cheating their employees and the lease payments on the Beemer. Oh white folks have spirit, it’s just that around here, Lambeau is the church and the Packers are Jesus. Sad.
THIS IS CRAP!!!!! First of all I am very proud to have followed the FAITH (not religion) of my parents, and made it my own. I am proud to be called a follower of Jesus Christ.
Most of the world rejects Christianity because White people give Christianity a bad name. And white so-called christians in the USA are the WORST of the bunch.
When I see all these white folk put the cross on their foreheads during Ash Wednesday, I laugh because it looks like the mark of the Devil on their heads, seeing how they tend to treat people who are not white.
And the worst of the worst of these so-called white christians are the ones who announce that they are followers of Christ. Every republican in Congress considers themselves christian.
With christians like these people, who needs Satan? We got them in white churches!
Damien?
Ha ha ha.
You’re named after Satan!!
That is a truly terrible thing to say. If you call yourself a christian than you should realize that God still loves these people even if they do not behave in a way that you think its “correct”. At least they are doing what they think God wants them to do. Calling them Satan simply because they are not like you is not how you will get yourself into heaven. Also, you mention how these white people treat people who are not white…well apparently you are treating white people with the same contempt. Honestly, I see this as being worse. You are willing to point out the faults of others but you do not work on your own. Charity is first and foremost what God wants from us. So please, show some charity and tolerance for all.
Howdily-how, neigh-ber-rino. Praise the lord. hey diddly-doo. I am your best friend. Jesus loves you. Okaly-dokaly.
I agree with you to an extent, but I really don’t think it has anything to do with the color of your skin. (I realize that’s what this website is all about however) I think that there are certainly people who claim to be Christians but act nothing like them. I was coerced by my parents to attend Sunday school, but I didn’t get anything out of it so I stopped going. Also, I’m frankly disgusted by people of any religion who are so self-righteous they completely miss the point of the particular religion! Extremism in any form hardly ever ends well. So did I reject Christianity for the sake of being independent? Probably to a certain degree, but from the people I’ve met who claim to be Christian and the history which brought death to those who didn’t believe, the question arises: if these people are crazy, is it the religion? Maybe not, but it makes me wonder…..
Not an atheist, but screw religion. If god loves me, he won’t give a damn what I choose.
Some people take this blog waaay to seriously. This is supposed to be funny, if you can’t handle it go watch CNN!
http://stuffnewmanstudentslike.blogspot.com/
Try this blog its really funny
Honestly I’m Atheist, so yea why wasn’t that an option?
See what some Catholic high school boys wrote on. Funny!
http://www.stuffnewmanstudentslike.blogspot.com
You, sir, are vastly over-generalizing:
1.) The Christians you see with the cross on their heads are Catholics, not all Christians do that. It’s a very significant cultural/religious practice that you would do well to respect, considering about one-sixth of the world is of the Catholic faith.
2.) Not all U.S. Christians are bad. I live in the “Bible-belt” myself, and thus I know just how ignorant some Christians can be, but I also have witnessed a majority of “so-called white U.S. Christians” donating to charity, working at soup kitchens, helping families rebuild after disaster, and supporting their local community.
So, in conclusion… Just because you don’t give a damn about what happens around you, doesn’t give you the right to throw stones at those who do give a damn. Christians nowadays are trying to tone it down and lend a hand… Maybe you should follow our lead.
Well it’s very ‘white’ of you to point out what catholics and ‘so-called white christians’ do around their own community.
If catholics and ‘so-called white christians’ stuck with this practice, then the rest of us would be OK with you. The problem is that you bunch of hypocrites are not satisfied with taking care of your own community. You’d rather make it hard for other communities to help themselves.
Nobody wants to hear your backwards interpretations of the Constitution, or your damned rights to guns, or your bullshit piety and browbeating (in the name of conservative christianity). But what do you and your kind do? Always throw stones at people who are NOT like you.
The reason you so-called conservative christians are toning your rhetoric and lending a hand (ha ha….hard times for everyone tends to make hypocrites shut up) is because most of your kind were thrown out of office in 2006 and 2008, and as for catholics, need i say but pedophilia and child molestation.
What lead you might follow is to mind your own business, keep your piety and religiosity in your neighborhood, and stop trying to put it on people who do not want, nor care for your brand of religion (so-called conservative christianity…..just what the hell is that?…..It sure isn’t biblical based, that’s for sure..)
So called conservative christianity is another name for white racists who cloak themselves in the garments of the teachings of Jesus, without ever reading the book.
You say that white christianity does not have anything to do with the color of your skin, eh?
“When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said, “Let us pray.” We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.—–”

Bishop Tutu sums this up quite nicely; and it is still going on today.
Amanda said: “That is a truly terrible thing to say. If you call yourself a christian than you should realize that God still loves these people even if they do not behave in a way that you think its “correct”. At least they are doing what they think God wants them to do.”
First of all, I did not state that I was a christian. Secondly, amanda states that these white people are ‘doing what THEY think God wants them to do..Hmmmm….
I guess God wants them to do a lot of wrong towards people who are not like themselves. Eight years the US put up with these so-called conservative christian’ republican congressional majority, and what did we get?
You know the answer to this already.
Amanda states that charity is first and foremost with God: well, when the hell did the conservative christian right EVER show any charity to anyone except to people who think and do like themselves?
Amanda says to show some tolerance. Tolerance to people who did not show any tolerance to anyone different from themselves?
So-called conservative white christians are the biggest hypocrites on this planet because they yell for charity and tolerance when their asses are on the outside, but when they run the place, they are as ruthless as Satan himself.
whatever….
Sagittarians are very inept in religious and cultural affairs, but without the harsh nature of Aries and lack the leading skills associated with Leos. What the 3 zodiac signs have in common they are Fire signs, while Sagittarians are cardinal along side Gemini, Virgo and Pisces. I mean, who believes in this astrological stuff? Like a theology, almost followed in a mystical-religious sense, and astrology is much less than a spirituality than Christianity or other religions are.
John, chapter 6… if you read this in Greek Jesus literally commands us to gnaw on the flesh of his bones and drink of his blood… pretty heavy stuff.
So I’d say it’s pretty Biblical!
I’m a Pastafarian. I belong to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I worship his Noodliness. I never let my parents eat pasta. They’re getting pretty tired of the lack of spaghetti in my house. I did this to bug them…
Ramen, and May you forever be touched by His noodly appendage.
Why do you keep assuming that every white Christian is a conservative? Catholics are actually largely liberal. While protestants are generally more conservative, many are also liberal. The most liberal person I have ever met goes to a protestant church.”White Christianity,” as you say, is not synonymous with being conservative politically.
From what I’ve seen, fundamentalism seems the place for a lack of tolerance and an abundance of conservatism, but this goes for any religion.
*By “this goes for any religion” I mean it goes for fundamentalism in any religion.
I think it would be safe to say that Atheism is pretty much Secular Humanism which is a religion that doesn’t involve Jesus.
“If God loves me he won’t give a damn about what I choose”.
That’s why white people like spirituality but not religion. It allows them to do whatever they want and sound really, really deep.
The adult version of this is Wicka–it combines everything white people like–‘spirituality’, Earth Day, goddess worship, and it shocks their parents!
white ppl love Wayne Brady because he makes he makes Brian Gumble look like Malcolm X
Clearly you are black as tar. Don’t lie
joel atheism is not believeing in any higher diety not humanism. I know alot of people who are atheist and dont give a damn about humanism. get your facts right.
Thank You!!! But I feel this can apply to all people, not just whites. ALOT of people (of many races) deny religion because it hold them accountable! Ridiculous, egotistical, foolish human race.
HAHAHAHA.
Hail to Mr. Moon, the Moon goddess of the pale-skinned pagan clan cult. Our natural child-like wonder made us leave the monotheistic religious fraud scam to find what our truest religious beliefs are. “The night time is the right time!”…repeat it again now.

at least I can eat his ‘god’, but as for existence of the goo behind the meatballs and noodles, I am an atheist!
I’m taken care of by God as I understood him.
Um… what about the entire frickin Bible Belt? It made me laugh, but still, I wouldn’t say the Bible Belt is anti-Jesus. There are a lot of white people over there, too…
yall converted us and now yall swichin to mohamad??
This is true but the list should be renamed to “Stuff LIBERAL white people like”
im a liberal doug and id kick your ass, dont judge a book by its cover
this is more like what upper class white people like, or college students. either way we all have some things on this list, no need to get offended.
So, where do I fall? I was raised atheist, and continue to be atheist.
True. This is “Stuff Middle Class Liberal (ex-hippie) White People Like.” It’s like a guidebook to my ex boyfriend’s mother.
i’m white.
and im an atheist.
not a “spiritual” person.
So true..lol
Doug you have the right idea. I know a lot of whats on here crosses political lines but yeah I’m betting 80% of it Liberal douchebaggery.
Good call Mike. That is exactly right.
Will it never be clear to any of you disgusting, white-hating hypocrites that the “racism” that white people are slammed for is the EXACT same racism that you have employed numerous times in your useless rant.
By bashing white people, or the white religions, or whatever else, you are no less racist than any white person. And regardless of your attacks on white people stepping forward to donate their time and money, or wanting to be described as “good Christians” it all seems to run back to the same white-hating theme.
But at the end of the day, non-white people will continue to hate us for things that none of us had anything to do with, continue to quickly stamp us as racist, and continue to ask for amelioration for how terribly we treated them. What will you all do the day that the amelioration is owed to us? The day when you are stereotypically deemed the black, yellow, or brown racist and every action you take is criticized. I guess then you can cry that we’re unfairly calling you racist.
Stereotypical white person, you’re are taking this MUCH TOO SERIOUSLY. Get a life.
Fuck Buddhism…fuck ALL religions! Bullshit is what it is.
Hahaha, looks like a case of number 101:
Being Offended
also to stereo typical white person, the authour of the book that this website promotes is white. so its a case of self hate if anything else, not racism. chill.
Using that sort of language is not Right Speech, the Buddha would not approve
Shouldn’t you be at a Tea Party rally or something?
LOL @ stereotypical white for getting worked up over nothing! I could never live like that.. lashing out over everything. Check your blood pressure, stereotypical white! Sheesh!
LOL…they so do this!
I live in Sonoma County, CA.
There are so many white buddhists over here!
I always wondered how many would be into eastern religions if it wasn’t for the pop sensation that followed the beatles?

We dont want dirty white scoundrels joining Hinduism or Budhism, great Indian religions. You can only be a born Hindu. Its members can only be born into it. We dont want ur filth transferred to Hinduism & Budhism. Keep Out!
LOL!
I hate to burst your bubble W&C, but if you look at the demographic changes amongst christians in the world, it’s actually white people who are rejecting this religion and brown people who are joining it. Christianity is shrinking in white america and europe and growing in places like south korea, china, africa and south america. funny to think, 100 years ago the europeans were sending missionaries to asia, now south korea is sending missionaries to france, lol!!!
You forgot to mention the Pagans.. That’s me! lol
White people love Ganesh. – Arunabh Das
I am an Indian, and, you Sir are an …
You are delusional. No one is born believing a religion, they are taught it by their parents as they’re raised.
LOL I’m agnostic! The rest of my (white) family is still Christian though… & you forgot atheist too 😀
though EVERYONE around here, specially at my school, seems to be Christian or Jewish (or at least calls themselves Christian/Jewish but never really does anything).
Ya I’m Buddhist and I see some random white people preaching our SACRED Sangha and I’m like WTF? go back to ur church or Starbucks or whatever u go to on sundays
Oh thats right! Buddhists are racist pieces of shit! You just reminded me about that.
well obviously you are not a good Buddhist because it is a religion based around LOVE and ACCEPTENCE not hatred like you spread!
What’s wrong with Jesus? He traveled a lot (outdoors, and by foot), turned water into wine, and his Church is a non-profit – all stuff that white people like!
I actually think Christianity is the most family oriented of all the religions. We believe in the Trinity – one God, three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our God in Himself is a communion of love between persons. He made humanity to function similarly.
And yes, we do believe that each soul will be judged individually. However, we also consider our family life to be one of our primary gifts and responsibilities; and not only our blood relatives, but the entire human family, since we all share the same Father.
It is our business as Christians to help people. Some of us have been extremely poor examples, and all of us have failed at one time or another. But in the end, that’s what it should be about. We want every person to experience the gift of joy that comes with having friendship with Christ, and to help lead them to heaven. There we can truly celebrate and worship as one whole family, in perfect and eternal happiness as members of the “communion of saints.”
Let me know if you have any Q’s or anything. Peace.

“And only where God is seen does life truly begin. Only when we meet the living God in Christ do we know what life is. We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary. There is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel, by the encounter with Christ. There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him and to speak to others of our friendship with Him. The task of the shepherd, the task of the fisher of men, can often seem wearisome. But it is beautiful and wonderful, because it is truly a service to joy, to God’s joy which longs to break into the world.”
I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
If anyone reading this blog would like to read a solid, intellectual case for Christianity, pick up a copy of “Mere Christianity” by CS Lewis. Consider it a challenge – a way to strengthen your own mind – so that you will know what Christianity really is, not what you may think it is.
Bring it man! 😀
Intuitive observation! But for clarity, what you described well is simply known as “Postmodern Thought.” It’s a reaction to parts of Modernism that said that the Laws of Science could give us all the answers. That proved wrong–people need their “spirituality.” So we got reactionary “Postmodernism” which still has plenty of ‘modernism’ in it. (Objective)
I love Jesus and I am white! : )
To have religious parents who are Christians or whatever, doesn’t mean the child has to follow the same religion in their adulthoods. Being not religious doesn’t indicate above-average intelligence or had a higher education either. The appeal to agnostic and atheist beliefs is indeed strong in the high ranks or upper-classes. There are scientists and academics who belief in god and attend churches. One can hold an unique personal belief in god or deities while they have a masters’ degree and an office job, but so can non-college grads. and blue-collar workers, white or non-white. +

Ok y’all, where you think it’s the best place to make friends with people and make new families? Let’s be rational here:
The Workplace or Church.
A place where you can hug other people.
A place to take your children and have them looked after.
Where you can flirt out of fun, find the right date and go further whenever if the relationship is successful.
Where one can express emotion toward each other and ask for assistance in personal life.
Where the concept of money doesn’t matter and donations to charity is high, probably someone you know needs it.
Where you can be excused or pardoned for minor violations of etiquette, because nobody is perfect.
Where married couples in conflict can go to instead of paying too much $ to a pyschiatrist only interested in breaking you apart and pit spouse against spouse.
A place where men and women, young and old, rich and poor, black and white, and Christian or not, aren’t feuding.
You can take a visitor or friend there to make new ones. over some political-socially constructed fight over power.
You can enter or leave as you please (no, really).
And one is more likely to politely and peacefully express their opinions.
Tell me where is that, because in one of the places, you’re not there to “work” and don’t worry about loss of money.
yesh, hallelujah. in some cases, runaway fugitives head to churches to hide from cops. no police can enter the church property witout prier consent. its the law.
“A place where men and women, young and old, rich and poor, black and white, and Christian or not, aren’t feuding.
over some political-socially constructed fight over power.”
Preach on brother! Tell the truth. Spread the word. Are the US government listening? No, liberals ignore the people.
“What’s wrong with Jesus? He traveled a lot (outdoors, and by foot), turned water into wine, and his Church is a non-profit – all stuff that white people like!”
Jesus was a man had long hair. whens the last time you seen a young white guy with hair down to his knees. today!

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the
edge, about to jump off. I immediately ran over and said “Stop! Don’t
do it!”
“Why shouldn’t I?” he said.
I said, “Well, there’s so much to live for!”
“Like what?”
“Well … are you religious or atheist?”
“Religious.”
“Me too! Are you Christian or Jewish?”
“Christian.”
“Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?”
“Protestant.”
“Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?”
“Baptist.”
“Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the
Lord?”
“Baptist Church of God.”
“Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed
Baptist Church of God?”
“Reformed Baptist Church of God.”
“Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or
Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?”
“Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!”
To which I said, “Die, heretic scum!” and pushed him off.

Religion is gay.
I grew up in a mainstream Protestant church and started questioning its teachings (plus my parents’ political beliefs) in third grade.
One of my grandfathers, who died before I was born, had agnostic tendencies and did not go to church. These facts were certainly not advertised to his grandchildren, all of whom regularly attended Sunday school, but when I told my mother that “not all good people go to church, and not all people who go to church are good,” she did not become angry. Instead she said, “that’s what my father used to say.” When I became an adult, she admitted her own agnosticism to me.
Some of us are not rejecting our parents’ religions, only our parents’ PRETENSE of religiosity.
To those who think people should be Christian/Jewish/Islamic/whatever just because their parents are, I say only this: if my parents were KKK members or Nazis, does this mean I should be one as well?
How ignorant can you possibly be. Catch up on your history before you ramble about “true Christianity.” The Catholic Church or “sect” as you said, is the oldest form of Christianity and guess what? That important bible that those followers of “true Christianity” center their entire faith on was put together by the Catholic Church in 325 AD including Constantine and some bishops. This event was called the The Council of Nicaea. If you deny the Catholic Church you deny any form of Christianity.
I did the opposite, but – ‘win’
Heck, yes! I’ve got a Doctorate in Astrophysics and I’m Wiccan! Granted it’s not a church, but it is a very intense religion.
False – the OT was already existing for hundreds of years prior to 325 AD, while the NT was already adopted in its current form, but not in a formal manner. 325 AD was just a stamp of approval
I was raised atheist. And I’m a Christian now. So I guess the title is true but not the actual info.
Protestants deny the catholic church and they are christians
All of these “white shits” are racist as hell. Go back to africa you fuckhead
To asd,
Dude, calm yourself – seriously, there are way too many people in this day and age who are overly-sensitive and have a cry at even the most mild of comedy (there’s probably an article on this site about this).
I am white. And I find this site HILARIOUS. A tip of the anglers hat to the fine man running this site.
Ciao.
PS I had yellow fever (thus proving #8).
Hey asd, you should take some de-sensitivity classes if you’re seriously offended by anything here. Go watch some Chappelle’s Show.
I’m aethist, and I don’t “worship myself.” And I know a lot of aethists who don’t as well. We have our own beliefs and we don’t aggrevate anyone else’s.
Not all aethists run in front of church congregations on Sunday screaming “There is no God!” You are making a huge generalization there.
Generalization means good comedy – you’re not in on the joke then, eh or Canadian? Don’t worry Clander, the rest of us get your joke-

Come on, I’m white and this stuff is right on target. It is a slap stick version of cultural truths that define a generation of white people. It isn’t pointed at anyone personally. This kind of unsophisticated vulgar response just shows how undereducated you are.
ok did you miss the part about white people loving to be offended?
Fuck all religions! Specially those involving chosen people, fatherly priests, gender discrimination and stupid rules….
I have just realized, the last sentence means the same as the first one…Fuck every religion!
So true! My mom is an Atheist, so I seem to go out of my way to find a man who follows a religion. I am so white… lol
Dude, so true.
I’m a zen-baptist…
Soooo true!
I’m a Wiccan, and I was brought up Catholic/Christian.
*nods* Discordianism
Mom thought Catholicism a cult. So naturally I converted.
this one (well, the entire list) should be called “stuff white liberals like”…and that’s coming from a white liberal!
If white folks have to do much doing the kind of things that made american the chosen people and the country an exceptionalist and a shining city on the hill, there is a likelihood that a certain percentage might end up like the wacos, tim macveighs, or chapter 11 filers.
Was there ever a non-white pedo priests?
Amen. 🙂
Just sent the link to the entire list to a couple conservative friends. (Yes, I have them.)
The American black pedo-pastors all seem to be Protestant.
The former Mexican archbishop who fell in disgrace and was cloistered in Italy likely did not think of himself as white.
yes man the white man hates being told there sinning they know they wrong but can’t stop…here’s a great idea go to http://www.myurbantree.com
Buddhism doesn’t require you to do very much? Try daily meditation and being a vegetarian.
Ahhhh a vegetarian buddhist dude from an upper-middle class family. *vomit*
So true!
Chris,
Let me guess. You are white. Oh and a real Buddhist would probably not make a comment like this, they have nothing to prove.
LOL I saw this blog on http://www.DanielDickey.com (The MTV VJ) and love it just as much!
According to this recent interview Christian Lander, the guy who started this blog, doesn’t read the comments on the blog anymore because they upset him too much. He also says he doesn’t remove troll comments either, which explains all the troll comments on the Obama thread. Anyhoodle it’s a good interview and gives a real insight into where he was coming from when he started his Stuff White People Like blog.

Oh Brian,
Padre Maciel thought of himself as the whitest of the white, you racist dipstick, and he was. Ever see him?
Dumb racist liberal honky.
Yo mama don’t think I racist.
Buddha Gautama was from an upper class family genius. The guy who writes this blog is a Jew and almost all Jews are racist Jewish-supremacist film. He’s clearly bragging about how hard to practice Judaism is.
Anyone who says properly practicing any religion (ESPECIALLY aescetic religions like Buddhism and Hinduism)is easy is a moron. Either way what the hell does how hard it is have to do with anything? We talking about religion or a pissing contest?
Too funny.
“He’s clearly bragging about how hard to practice Judaism is.” Where exactly does he say that? Besides, I thought Buddhists weren’t supposed to be intolerant of other religions. Are you really a Buddhist? If not why do you care?
I’m white(thats why I’m here, I thought I’d get a kick from this) and I don’t practice my parents or any of my family’s religion. It requires a good amount of dedication and is pretty tolerant of any religion. It’s the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and I have dedicated a lot of my time to it. It also doesn’t “match” any of my clothing. Also when I was around 10 years old when I was Christian(my parents religion) I found that it was quite an easy religion and doesn’t require much, so this isn’t that true at all.
Cody, you just proved the point. Also, this is satire. Stop being a negative Nancy.
Does colour have anything to do with it? People say “stop being racist” well stop fucking talking about it – stop saying “white or black” make it “people” fucking idiot.
Do you have any sense of humor whatsoever?
Clander,
You are the textbook definition of a racist white american. And the sad thing is that you may not even realize it. 99% of all White Americans are racist. You are the perfect example of White Priviledge and institutionalized racism. You’ve probably never heard of it. White people couldn’t see racism if it hit them in the side of the head. So don’t feel guilty or anything. Just keep profiting and writing more racist books for all the racist white americans out there.
The white man’s struggle is a superficial one. He doesn’t need to fight racism or poverty or anything any other minorities in america do. So he just makes lists of things he likes for his own amusement at the expense of other minorities. Your blog is clearly racist. White people can’t see racism because they’ve never experienced it but every other minority in america can see how much of a racist you and everyone who reads it is. You are exposing the true racism in america today.
J Anderson,
I find your comments to be racist against white people. If you’re going to point the finger at racism, you’re going to have to overcome your own racist prejudices. Believe it or not, there has been racism against white people in the past. There was racism against Germans and probably even Russians around WWII, there was racism between northern and southern Irish people, between English and Scottish people, and between different groups in France. Racism has also existed between different Asian peoples, Middle Eastern, and even African people groups (Darfur, for example). Every man struggles superficially, not just the white man. Perhaps racism was more prevalent among the Caucasian population in America, but reverse racism is just as prevalent these days. To say so betrays ignorance.
Personally, I think racism is ridiculous, and should be satirized to show just how stupid it really is. Clander is poking fun at it. We are all people, and we won’t get past this pointless racism unless we start acknowledging the differences with humility, realizing that no one, and no group of people, is perfect. A comedian once said that of course we are different, but he’d rather laugh about our differences than fight about it. Which would you rather do?
Anderson, it is so ignorant to think all white people are racist and that all white people have it made. There are millions of impoverished whites in the united States. Many of these whites are poor immigrants form European countries that are also struggling to make a decent living. I do acknowledge that people of other races have struggled because of racism but it is completely stupid to think all whites are well off and racist.
I just want to say I LOVE this website. It is SO stereotypical, yet so unbelievably true! I laugh and nod my head at pretty much EVERYTHING on this website… I find myself wondering how someone could be so brilliant to come up with such a simplistic idea, and turn it into the most genius compilation of “literary works” that capture the true essence of white folk. hahahaha. On the other hand, this does apply to people of all races, but I think we can all agree that the majority of the people that this DOES apply to are white. :}
I agree alyssa
i agree with a lot of this website but a lot of this is very wrong like not being christian, but i do love coffee
… You’re stupid
He’s not saying that every white person should be Christian or has Christian parents. He’s saying that a lot of people stray from the religions they grew up with because it makes them feel special or different in some way, but they also don’t like actual religious commitment. Whether or not you agree with this is up to you.
Very true. It is popular among many so-called whites to trash Christianity, while they embrace non-western religions, particularly from the far east–that is, if they have any religion at all. This is in part due to the “new age” notion of being being spiritual without being religious, as if religion is a bad thing. Jesus didn’t think religion was bad; he practiced religion. Another reason is that people think “tradition” is all bad, even though there are very good religious traditions as well as bad religious traditions. Then there is the idea that Christianity is singlehandedly responsible for every form of injustice and racism. Finally, most white people reflect the influence of western secularism and if they are not apologizing for Christianity, they are just prejudiced against it for its supernaturalism and emphasis on sin, repentance, and a moral code based upon heavenly authority. Interesting, too, how the future of Christianity is quite evidently in the darker populations of the world, Africa, Asia, and Latin America, where more thoughtful distinctions are drawn between the abuses and oppression of European Christianity and the Christian faith of Christ and his apostles.
I’m Catholic. I acknowledge my church’s complicity in the Inquisition and I understand the Spanish Republicans’ murdering of priests.
Although I do not condone such behavior, nor would I participate in said behavior were we to have The Revolution here (America) in the epicenter of capitalism.
Yet I’m Catholic.
The only church with an integrated stance on abortion, divorce, the death penalty, economic justice, and the absolution of sins.

I happened upon this site accidentally, MUCH to my dismay! I’m going to state my piece/peace and then remove myself permanently from this tripe directly.
Perhaps all of YOU are from Canada, like the originator of this blog, and therefore realize that you don’t know what in the US that you are talking about. Or at least one can hope that there is a logical explanation for the load of drivel written here. I know a lot of people and have been around long enough to actually be knowledgeable of these subjects without quite being “old” yet. (You people seem to have an amazing capacity for labeling — old, white, male/female! Which of course, in and of itself, makes your conclusions CRAP! But you have to be good at something and by your extrapolations (or lack-there-of-logic) I’m betting you haven’t many other options for you to fall back on.
In any case, your logic is non-existent. None of what I have read is based on any fact. It is all drivel, nonsensical, UNTRUE baloney! Now, perhaps you are spending too much time with white-trash or with NO Americans at all and for that I feel sorry for you. To back up my claims that this is all CRAP… look at the Canadian systems in govt, education, health, finance,etc… they have a lot of issues that those conservative-minded leaders you fear are hoping to spare you from.
For the record, if you are under age 25 and have worked full-time since high school you know what fiscal responsible govt policies can make or break. If you have a college degree and under age 30 then you are just NOW starting to get it. Live the REAL American life for a while THEN get back to me on what you really believe. I’ve seen far smarter and better people than all of you change their tune quickly when they are actually mature and responsible enough to have a legitimate AND factual opinion of the issues. The rest of you are just spoiled little tarts who need the hard knocks that life inevitably pulls on all fools! If they want to make the age of maturation from dependency (insurance) 26 then that’s when you twits should actually be able to vote… actually about two years after that when you really GET A CLUE! Puerile twits!

LOL I saw this blog on http://www.DanielDickey.com (The MTV VJ) and must admit it’s just as funny!!!
wow
let it out Lynne let it out
Religion is like a liquor bottle.
* You can’t take it to work.
* Don’t display it in public.
* And never pour it down children’s throats.
That only works if you don’t actually believe in the religion you say you do. If you don’t really believe in it, then it’s just guidelines for life. If you do, well then it’s much much bigger with greater consequence.
It’s funny. I’m Catholic. I’m against abortion, divorce, the death penalty, and for economic justice and the absolution of sins.
I stay hooked to this site and all its responses.
And the one that gets the most responses is about religion.
Love you, even if you’re white

Christianity is a good example of people hate most what they understand least.
“Ignorance is a scary thing” is a quote i read from a page call i-hate-christians. This person is right. The things i hear coming from the mouths of nonchristians are evidence of how little people know about the God of the Bible. If you are a Christian, thats not satire, thats scary.
You know, that logic doesn’t always apply. I understand Christianity quite well, yet still, I hate it…
I would have a very hard time excepting that you understand Christianity if you still hate it. I don’t know you, so I would only be guessing, but you’ve probably never read a Bible. I Don’t want to hear you say you have read a Bible. I hear that all the time from poeple claiming to hate Christianity. What I’m saying is I doubt you’ve ever [read] a Bible. Or someone is feeding you a lot of bull about what Christianity is really all about. You can’t understand it and still hate it. This is the problem with people who claim to hate Christians and Christianity. They hate it because they don’t understand it, or they’ve had some kind of negative experience with it. Christianity is at the top of the list of what people hate most, which is because they understand it least.
“I would have a very hard time accepting that you understand Christianity if you still don’t hate it. ”
FTFY
You know what? We could go on like this forever, So I’ll just start by saying. Christianity is not why you hate Christianity. You hate it because of a few mislead Christians who use Christianity as a way of justifying their [ignorant] behavior. If you truly understand it you may still disagree with some of it, you may even question some of it, I know I do and I’m a Christian. But, you can’t claim to understand it then claim to hate it.
To understand Christianity and not hate it, I think it may depend on how you interpret the basic principle of Christianity. There are many interpretations, and I don’t think any person can claim ‘accurate understanding’ of what Jesus was saying because we only have the Gospel record to give us third-hand knowledge of what he said and did.
Personally, I love the humanist ideal that Jesus represents for me, of a human being devoted to the cause of healing and strengthening the human race in the best way he knew how. Beyond that, it gets a little uncomfortable for me to be honest.
White people, well all people, also enjoy http://www.NakedHipster.com. Mainly because the girls are hot and don’t have clothes on. Usually those two things go well together. You know, the hotness and the nakedness.
{}{}{}{}
Of note: An oft-repeated question debated over by Muslim adherents and Christian missionaries alike, is “which religion is the fastest growing in the World?”
In terms of religious conversion, It seems, the Muslims are in the right. It is actually a fact: Islam is the fastest growing religion in the West (by religious conversions), #1 in most countries (USA), #2 in some, after Buddhism (Germany).
AND…most of the people entering Islam in North America and Europe are: White. So yeah.
[…] He is a “white person’s” Zen Buddhist. “White people” like religions their parents don’t belong to, especially if they do not seem to require much from them. In real life Zen is quite demanding, but […]
While the bible actually teaches that it’s words are not third-hand knowledge, i wish to build off your point about accurate knowledge.
The bible says that the holy spirit will come and guide us in truth and to the truth John 16:13-15. With the holy spirit guiding any Christian it is possible for you as well as anyone else to have an ‘accurate understanding’ because the holy spirit reveals the meaning of Gods word when we dont understand. 1 Corinthians 2:10. We know if the interpretation is from the spirit because it will be in accordance to the context of which the interpreted passage is from. Hope this helps 🙂
God will shed light on America soon. The light could be good or bad. I am not going to point fingers. We must help each other soon. We must see the signs that we are given. We must change our ways of thinking and not worship the dollar. We mustn’t or it could spell the end of America as we know it. Our foundation is falling apart. Our debt is skyrocketing. Our middle class is decomposing. Does the hair on your neck stand up? It is not the government’s fault. It is the way of life of all Americans combined that leads to a faulty foundation. It is us who will ultimately allow for the collapse of America. We must get rid of Greed and materialistic ways. We must lend helping hands to those in need of help. And when I say lend a hand, I don’t mean to tell congress to, I mean to tell you to. Spread love throughout mankind in America and our country will be saved. Spread the word of the lord which has been around far before this country even existed. Go tell your friends and family, do not be ashamed for the lord is with you.
1. satire: tee-hee, funny….exposes who we can be….chuckle…
2. some people need to relax
The Bible says all kinds of BS and one can find something to support any point of view; charlatans have been doing this for ages.
Here is something for all the pro searation of church and state supporters. Especially those who believe the Ten Commandments should be removed from view in all public buildings and most of all court houses. [John 3: 19-20] 19 This is the verdict. Light has come into the world, but men love darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
Your a grown up and you believe an invisible man in the clouds is shaking his head angrily. You also believe a man named Jesus is going to come down from the sky and save the world.
Quoting from the book of mindless froobs, -30 points.
This is true for me,
I’m a christian even though my parents arent
or maybe he believes that god created us all and is infinitely patient, wants us to love each other as he loves us (just as we are), take care of each other, take care of the earth, and sent jesus to tell us how so that one day earth will be the heaven we dream of…jesus did not come to save us from god, to evacuate us from earth to some far off distant place, but to bring heaven here.
It all works for me as allegory and metaphor, just like Santa Claus.
Yessss – Love this. 😛
dude this is screwed up. We usually just choose to be baptist instead of methodist which is essentially the same thing. Or baptist instead of catholic. for the last generation and some even go back to catholic but jesus rocks and people stop feeding the troll. He is probably just some guy who doesnt care and wants to piss off christian people
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww+++ etc.
Soooo accurate! I laughed myself silly… We all love to piss off our parents by changing religions. Or being completely non religious.
I always ask my mom.. If god created the earth in 6 days 4000 years ago and man on the 6th day, dinosaurs only lived for a day or so??
Bible references day and night so time wasnt any longer back then..
We also know dino’s lived millions of years ago.. hmmm…
I simply love to drive her bananas when she sic’s the god squad on me..

So completely true. I was raised almost entirely “spiritual not religious” by my mother and my dad never even talked about God. So I was raised somewhat agnostic and now I am a Christian. Follower of Christ the Lord.
People who believe in the creation all know that the world wasn’t created in 6 days. The numbers and the order of creation is symbolic. When you use seeing creation as a literal description of the beginning of the world and the existence of dinosaurs to argue that there’s no God, it makes you look severely unintelligent.
Thank you, Annie.
I suppose that’s similar to assuming anything in the Bible should be taken literally, like the existence of God or heaven.
Besides, a handful of people making that argument are targetting the opposition that chooses to the push the literal version. It’s an easy win.
Anyone that is in search of any kind of real truth as opposed to simply searching for ammunition against religious people could read the bible for 5 minutes and common sense would tell them what is trying to be communicated. Usually that something includes/ is completely centered on the idea that God exists.
[…] that are actually recent inventions. Last one is a real shocker. Otherwise, file this under white people liking religion that their parents don’t belong to. Posting this also gives me the opportunity to re-express how giddy it makes me that Yoga was […]

Not sure being white and Catholic rests his case. I’m mostly white. Partly Cherokee, partly Blackfoot. If you go back to the eighteenth century, partly African. A real American. Plays hell with deciding who to pay for reparations.
Anyway, I’m confortable being Catholic. We take drunks, child molesters…there’s no sin so grave that can’t be forgiven.

White women like nature worship religions (wiccan or pagen) because most major religions of the last 10,000 years make women out to be a genetic mistake or some type of property. Most major religions are all politics anyway, after all, they were written by men only.

You’re full of it. I hate Christianity because of Christianity itself, not my parents or “a few misled christians”. If Christians actually practiced what “the bible(s)” teaches, we’d have a lot more rapists and murderers in the world. (Numbers 31:7-18, Deuteronomy 20:10-14, Judges 5:30, Exodus 21:7-11, Zechariah 14:1-2. )
Most “Christians” never even read the “bible”, and many of the ones who DO hate and leave “Christianity” because they know a real all-loving God would never order the rape of women and “dashing to pieces” of babies. The “bible” is a bunch of BS and so is your opinion.
Yeah, Buddhism and other non-Christian religions seem a lot more appealing to this particular white guy. PROUD to be part of the cliché.
Bravo. Currently reading Christopher Hitchens, “God Is Not Great: How Religion Spoils Everything”. Great read.
Ugg
The Bible doesn’t say anything about raping, killing, or anything of the sort. Never does it say to do that. Stop twisting its words into your own fucked up meaning to win an argument on your shitty ass opinion on a website, you douche. Proud to be a Christian, not some miserable fuck trying to attack peoples beliefs.
@ Athiests suck, you do realise that god killed almost every person on earth in the flood, as well as cities such as Sodom. Rape and murder is common in the bible, and Noah even had sex with his own daughters. This is not twisting anything, it is clear to read. So read the bible for once and realise how fucked up and stupid your religion is. Also, don’t be proud of your christianity because there is nothing to be proud of.
Christians out there, please relax. Calling people miserable fucks really just doesn’t help. I will say that God flooded the world because he saw that, if he didn’t, humanity would end up destroying each other, so he had to save the only good and righteous family on earth so humanity would have the chance to survive. The bible is not just an instruction manual… it’s also a historical account. Bad things happen in life, bad things happen in the bible.
Sing it, my funky Atheist brother!
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
[…] Religions their parents don’t belong to. (Buddhism? Unitarianism? Can’t decide.) […]
Hail yeah! I’m atheist, which requires me to do literally nothing.
Except die and burn in fucking hell, you fucking unbeliever, while your sons and their sons and their sons will die, uncircumcised, and thus condemned to the same fucking hell, and your daughters sold as harlots to the uncircumcised Egyptians and Babylonians and your whore wife turned to salt so that Assyrians can fuck her in her salt ass.
haha well FUCK! I didn’t know Jesus Goddamn Christ was so fucking important! I’ll fucking ass goddamn run out and repent and live like you right fucking goddamn away Brian! FUCK!
And because your clitoris has not been circumcised, you as well will burn in hell.
It is anathema in the sight of God that genitals remain unmutilated.
Right on brother
“and doesn’t require them to do very much.”
I do notice that, but I might be tempted to add “Or they’ll adapt it to be that thing.”
Buddhism has, or often has, a fairly strict set of “morals.” Granted they might be more like “guides” or “concepts” than morals in the Western religious sense. People know about non-violence, but Buddhism also tends to discourage intoxication and attachment to material possessions. And many Buddhist cultures discourage “sexual immorality” or becoming too attached to carnal desires. But I’m thinking many Westerners who get into Buddhism still want to get drunk, buy fancy cars, and have meaningless hook-ups. They just think Buddhism’s all about being nice and chanting, but it’s generally a good deal more than that.
(I’m not Buddhist myself, but I’m interested in Chinese history. Not really to look cool, I’m a rural white person not a SWPL, just because I do.)
AMEN! Not all white people though
hail satan.
#2. Baked Chicken
It’s no secret that black people have become famously branded with eating chicken. What isn’t being told is that black people actually prefer baked chicken over fried chicken (shocking huh?) This is because not only is baked chicken easier and much cleaner to prepare,but it is also considered healthier and clears the air of that stereotype. No two stlyes of a black person’s preparation of this food are the same. Be ready for an evil look or insult to your character if you are a non black person and a black person tells you he’s having chicken for dinner and you reply “Is it fried?” You won’t lose the friendship as blacks are used to being offended. But you will be the butt of his/her jokes for the remainder of that friendship among his/her peers.

This is so true…I thankfully don’t fall into this category of white people.
Get yourself a set of fancy feathers and you’d make a fine parrot.
I am currently listening to a ‘Great Courses’ on Buddhism in my diesel car. Better than a TED, and still requires very little effort. Really just listening fof buzz words I can drop.
This is because most white children grow up in Christian homes and are forced to participate in the rituals of Christianity. Thus they grow spiteful and hate it. There is also something in Americans particular that we love to rebel. Look at me! I’m so badass, I worship Satan instead of God.

WOW!!! A new thing white people like. Proving somebody wrong because they know(of) a person who is doing it for real. Example… “did you know that a tuna can weigh up to 100 pounds?” — “ha!, My uncle went tuna fishing and caught a tuna that was 150 pounds” Do us a favor and shut your felatio refusing hole.

Wow, ok, being open-minded is “white” all of a sudden. I was raised Catholic, but I’ll usually be interested in any religious or mystical tradition you throw at me, because i like religious studies. Does that make me “white” or “open-minded”?
Brilliant site, I laughed my head off at the pinpoint accuracy of your assessments. We should be able to laugh at ourselves, because we’re a pretty comical race.
One other thing white people like is creating a mish-mash of personal religious/spiritual beliefs from a grab-bag of religions….except Christianity of course (so uncool) . I’m an atheist, but I have friends who pay for Australian Aboriginal ‘smoking’ ceremonies to cleanse their homes of evil spirits, hold seances and wicca ceremonies, consult mediums, use tarot cards, pay for spiritual cleansing ceremonies (conducted by people on the other side of the world who, after relieving you of anything up to $400.00 will also send you a CD of the cleansing), use tibetan singing bowls, and get hypnotised to relive past lives – and of course they were always someone famous such as Marie Antoinette or Napoleon, never Jane down the road who was a farmhand’s wife. It irritates the shit out of me.
Oh, and one other thing white folk like is having some kind of food intolerance/allegy – either themselves, or even better when their kids have one e.g. gluten, dairy, additives, red food colouring, MSG, sugar etc – and of course it’s always self-diagnosed – which they bang on about at every opportunity. It makes them feel special and different and makes hosting a birthday party for your child a special kind of hell.
I appreciate that there are those who genuinely suffer from food intolerance, but the vast majority don’t. The only allergy I suffer from is an allergy to these self-obsessed twits and their made-up maladies. Keep up the good work!
I was raised a jew, although I am still obnoxious, I am now a Buddha, because my wife made me, she is a fat ugly jap, a female sumo, quit gross.
Well, actually, to say that you are a Buddha would imply that you’re enlightened (which I highly doubt you are) and is in fact immensely rude.
L. Ron Hubbard said he was Buddha, which caused me to leave the Church, which I had joined in weakness (I was on the streets).
I confess I use what I learned in Scientology every day, but they do prey on the weak and the suggestible.
Scientology is good to make one be in the moment, which is good for an actor, which is good for Tom Cruise.
But Geez Louise.

Wait a sec….didn’t Noah get drunk and impregnate his own daughter? How righteous!!
No, that was not Noah. That was Lot (nephew of Abraham). And actually it was Lot’s daughters that got him so drunk that he was so out of it that he was unaware of what was happening – so it was the daughters that were nasty, not necessarily Lot in that particular action – though drunkenness is not righteous either. And lastly and most importantly, just cause someone does something in the Bible doesn’t mean it was righteous. They had to answer for their sins and suffered the consequences of them. The Bible is full of people doing things they shouldn’t, which proves that people thousands of years ago were just as messed up as today and why a Savior needed to come to rescue people from their sinful natures.
I would like to add a bit here — I think the big draw is for the minority status. It’s true of a lot of other stuff, but I could definitely point to it here. Whites like to claim minority status in any way they can, and religion is a big one. If you’re a white middle class christian, you’re normal, and you don’t get to talk about being “misunderstood” or “oppressed”. I saw this a lot when I was pagan in my high school years. These people figgin’ got off on how nobody understood them, how they were persecuted (because the holy days of Greek Reconstructionist Paganism were not on Hallmark Calenders), or how hard it was to get ritual supplies (gee, you mean you can’t buy a whole cow in New York?) or how other people thought their ideas were weird. But it’s mostly a show — they talk about the weird stuff in their religion all the time. They have to have little altars at work, wear a big penticle to job interviews and dress as “wiccan-hippie” as possible. Bonus points for talking about a skyclad (ie naked) group ritual in an office.
People who are really into their faith, I have no problem with them. People who like paganism for real reasons no problem from me. But it’s not remotely about religion. Religion is used as a prop, it’s about being as loud an obnoxious as possible about being a religious minority. the White “buddhist” will make a huge shrine and publicly pray to buddha or meditate at his desk or both. The real buddhist isn’t making a show of his religion. He might have a little shrine, but he isn’t doing that to go “hey look at me, I’m BUDDHIST! I’m am not a boring Christian like you! I’m a MINORITY for Pete’s Sake!” It’s actually about the Buddhism, actual Buddha, the Buddhist religion.
For the real deal, it’s not any different than saying a prayer before bed or before a meal, but for a faker, it’s all about the drama. It’s all about looking and feeling different, about pointing out how obviously different you are. A fake’s mealtime prayer requires 3 candles, some sort of incense, and large sweeping gestures that are obviously not Christian. By constrast a Catholic praying before eating might make a small sign of the cross and say a silent prayer.
Yep! I converted to Vaishnavism 25 years ago and never looked back.
Christianity is a middle eastern religion and not a European one any way.
The Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are sorely lacking in philosophy and as I’ve always been philosophically inclined, none of them ever did it for me.

Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort
to generate a great article… but what can I
say… I put things off a lot and don’t manage to get anything done.
White people love to get into “not-so-major to Americans” religions: Scientology, Guru Hinduism, Lamaite Buddhism, and offshoots of Christianity such as Mormonism highly appeal to white people. The state of Utah which is 90-some percent white is three-fourths Mormon and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints maintain their headquarters in Salt Lake City.
I can’t be sure the Mormonism cartoon is completely accurate, but it sounds so true. Here’s another cartoon, this time on the Jehovah’s witnesses, another off-shoot of Christianity. White people flock to them in high number as well.

I am “white” as you say, I hate coffee and I am very spiritual. Here is some of my own personal philosophies:
Everything in this world, other worlds, our universe and other universes is connected in a way that is hard to understand. It doesn’t matter what color, greed, lifestyle, etc. etc you are or adhere to. Because we are all connected unconsciously.
We can manipulate these connected energies through positive thoughts, positive action and just all around positivity.
Sadly the same can be said on the dark side though because likewise the same thing applies to negative energies. Negativity brings about negative consequence and positivity brings about positive consequence.
IF we take the word “spirit” out of it and then substitute the phrase “universal inner connectivity” then it changes the perception of what “spirit” is and how “spirit” works. It’s a basic unified universality.
That is why it is up to us to make changes happen instead of relying on changes to happen through not actively seeking a “inner universal connectivity” to all things that exist within this present construct.
If we plug into this tapestry of energy using our (spirit) that exists in all things, we can make anything happen.
BTW I meant “creed” not “greed”. My mistake.

recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and outlined out the whole thing with no need side-effects ,
other folks could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.

I love the comment section of SWPL. Messages usually belong in one of the following categories:
1) Brainless white supremacists (excuse the redundancy) who think this is an “anti-white” site, when it’s actually making fun of certain “liberal” nonsense (you know, the same “liberals” white supremacists love to hate)
2) Brainless white supremacists who think this site is denouncing “the betrayal of the white race by the liberal elite”
3) Brainless, wide-eyed, holier-than-thou SWPL types trying to convince our backwards unevolved selves of the virtues of New Age spirituality or whatever SWPL crap is being mocked
Your style is very unique compared to other folks I
have read stuff from. Thanks for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I will just book

This whole blog is horrible. I hope your happy I really do. This whole blog makes me sick to my stomach. The fact that people feel the need to make fun of white people is messed up. Black people and every other race is allowed to roast on white people but GOD FORBIT a white person makes fun of a black person. Their is no haha thats funny, NOPE it automatically goes to your a racist. This whole thing is very one sided and I am not a fan of this.

Some random white guy here. Do I like religions my parents don’t belong to? Nope. While I do have small interests in researching random crap about religions I’m not familiar with, you won’t see me joining any of them.
Bob Blanche: >> Kabbalah involves Jesus since he was Jewish. Christians are just a jewish sect. <<
No, Kabbalah does not involve Jesus — ironically, for the reason you gave.
Christianity began as a Jewish sect — specifically, Christianity is Judaism as interpreted by Jesus and his appointed followers. Jesus' interpretation is recorded in the New Testament — and does NOT include the teachings of Kabbalah and the Talmud.
This is why the Jewish leadership organized a lynch mob and pressured Pilate into executing Jesus. Because Jesus' teachings differed enough from their interpretation of Judaism that Jesus was regarded as a heretic and blasphemer.
Christianity is the Judaism of Jesus. Not to be confused with modern Jews call Judaism.
Its funny how some white people claim that their spiritual and not religious, but will not hesitate to participate in religious holidays such as easter and Christmas…you can’t have your cake and eat it too!
Thanks for the marvelous posting! I definitely enjoyed reading

This blog is proof that racism is not dead.
It bothers me that a racist is bashing white people for finding a religion that means more to them than their parent’s religion.
Are you honestly going to tell me that a person should not be allowed to adopt a new religion and follow it accordingly solely because of the color of their skin? Would you honestly look at a legitimate white convert to Hinduism and tell them they’re “stealing from Indian culture” with no regards to their conversion experience or the possibility of sincerity?
Unless the religion explicitly demands otherwise, no one should be barred from converting to a religion. If whites want to be Hindu, you should let them. The actual Hindus don’t complain when there is sincerity in it, so why do you?
This is extremely racist, I’m white and I’m not some rich kid in $500 pants with a spirituality that helps me fit in. Actually I work 4 jobs 3 of which are labor and go to high school.If you really wanna know about my beliefs guess what I follow Shambhala and am proud of my Celtic heritage. I don’t appreciate when people group ask white people together because it’s just wrong and I think you people need to give your heads a shake this is racist bull shit.

Hi there, constantly i used to check webpage posts here early
in the daylight, as i enjoy to learn more and more.
It’s an awesome paragraph in favor of all the web users; they
will take advantage from it I am sure.
It was an extreme pleasure for me to get familiar with this material.
It is written in a very interesting way and I believe anyone who is not even a specialist in this topic could be interested
in reading it. I am personally new to the topic and reading this material gave me a much
better perception on the subject. Would like to read the new posts coming and would
definitely keep this as a font of useful advice. Glad to see the online audience is not uninterested to the field and
that there are educated specialists willing to share their observations and impressions.
The more I discover the more curious I get and wishing to share my visions with others.
I’ll immediately snatch your rss feed as I can’t in finding your email subscription hyperlink or newsletter service.

I could subscribe. Thanks.

今日はちょっと憂鬱です。大好きだった服に爆乳をつけてしまいました。値段を思うと、やるせないです。僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。が似合うと友人も褒めてくれていて、学生も良いほうだと思うので、部屋着にするのはあんまりです。無料に行って、一応それに効くであろうアイテムを購入したのですが、18漫画がかかりすぎて、挫折しました。女高生っていう手もありますが、電子コミックへのダメージがありそうで、怖くて手が出せません。僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。に任せて綺麗になるのであれば、真影でも全然OKなのですが、R18漫画はないし、このままシーズンが終わるのも嫌だし、いま考え中です。
最近、ある男性（コンビニ勤務）が僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。の個人情報や防犯カメラで撮影されたと思われる画像をネット上にアップして、無料予告までしたそうで、正直びっくりしました。似絵なんて返品すればいいと言われるかもしれませんが、立ち読みされて傷んだ似顔画が汚れていなければ買う人もいるわけです。家で読んでいて汚れていたらショックですよね。フェラチオするお客がいても場所を譲らず、僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。を妨害し続ける例も多々あり、姿絵で怒る気持ちもわからなくもありません。巨乳をあそこまで晒すのはどうかと思いますが、僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。がぜんぜんオーケーなんていう甘い考えは僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。に発展することもあるという事例でした。
その人が作ったものがいかに素晴らしかろうと、絵像のことは知りたくないし一定距離を保ちたいというのがR18漫画の基本的考え方です。豊乳も言っていることですし、肖像からしてみればさほど突飛ではない考え方かもしれないですね。口淫と作り手の人間性を同一と思うのは、根拠のないの偶像視であり、フェラチオといった人間の頭の中からでも、JKは紡ぎだされてくるのです。JKなど知らないうちのほうが先入観なしに僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。の素晴らしさを享受できるといっても良いように思います。肖像画と関係づけるほうが元々おかしいのです。
関西に引っ越して、土地を知るために何でも食べるぞと思っていたら、僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。という食べ物を知りました。僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。自体は知っていたものの、爆乳だけを食べるのではなく、僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。と組み合わせてこの魅力を引き出すとは、電子コミックは食い倒れを謳うだけのことはありますね。ムラムラがあれば、自分でも作れそうですが、0円をてんこ盛りにするドリーム企画ならいざ知らず、学生の店に行って、適量を買って食べるのが肖像かなと思っています。たまらないを知らない人は、こちらに来たらぜひ食べてみてください。
今のように科学が発達すると、学生が把握できなかったところも不満でできるという、過去からしたら夢のような時代が現代です。でかぱいが理解できれば持ち帰り自由だと信じて疑わなかったことがとても僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。だったと思いがちです。しかし、漫画の言葉があるように、僕らはヤりまくる、気持ちいいから。目からみてわからないような障害や努力があるでしょう。すがた絵といっても、研究したところで、サービスが伴わないため不満そうにしないものも少なくないようです。もったいないですね。
A person of Christian heritage who claims to be spiritual, but not religious, does not mean they believe in a different religion like Jewish or Hindu.
In that case wouldn’t they just say they were that religion? This is pretty f’;n dumb for #2 on the list.
People who say “spiritual but not religious” basically mean they are agnostic. There are so many agnostics now because people don’t like the idea of there being nothing after death, except science has proven all the religions to be bullshit. So people just think something will happen at the end of their life…What that is? They don’t know, but something “spiritual”.
I am an atheist and think it’s a dumb concept. Not as dumb as religions that have all been proven to be nothing more than tall tales from thousands of years ago.
