Alright so here's the conversation I had with my Jewish friend.

Me- What would you say to me saying "People who think the Halocaust never happened is like people not believing Jesus lived/"

Her- I would say "Explain to me how 6 billion people just up and vanished. And why camps still smell of death." Why did someone try to tell you that it didn't happen?

Me- No. I know it did. It's a discussion.

Her- Oh. But that's what I would say.

Me- Well they didn't like my comparison and started to bash me.

Her- It was a good one. Who bashed you?

Me- This guy is Jewish and obviously doesn't think Jesus existed so he started calling me every name under the sun.

Her- Wow. He didn't go to sunday then. Or understand his history.

Happy?
"go to Sunday?"


I'm guessing classes. I don't know.

But I have been to Sunday classes. For years.
Surely it means something else.


I've no clue. I can't get a hold of her now cause she's at work.

What denominatation is she? That's kind of important.
I mean, she's obviously either Reform, Reconstructionist, or Messianic, but which one? Surely you know.

Ok your comparison sucked it was a shi*ty comparison I'm sorry. Believing the Holocaust happened and compared to believing Jesus lived is a horrible comparison. Second Please please please use every detail available to you so we all know what exactly you mean! By Implying that religion on your passport would show America's enemies which it wouldn't. How on Earth would showing that I'm Pagan and Lumanny is Jewish help distinguish that I could be a Terrorist and Lumanny not? Religion on your passport would just breed prejudice and discrimination. Plus when you say terrorist everyone assumes you mean Muslim because it's the main stereotype about the religion. Second (I'll edit in a second because I lost my thought)

Aakosir, why are you saying that it's only the Jews in the guild calling you out? That it isn't your fault you're ignorant because you were raised Christian?

I find what you're saying to be very insulting. Am I Jewish? Nope, I am Atheist. I was also raised a branch of Christianity. Your ignorance is not Christianity's fault, it is your own.

I'm not too keen on other people's beliefs. I don't really know what they believe. From my Jewish friends I got a little bit, but I don't talk about religions to my friends. The only religion I know a good bit about is Christianity. I'm still learning

I'm sorry, what's going on Aakosir?
Didn't you say it was just the Jews because it was just the Jews?
Ort isn't it just the Jews?

And can we make a separate thread or something, this is slowly hijacking this thr- holy crap, that wording is ironic!

I cant find any airports Lumanny I'm sorry we have to try again another day. stressed
Anyway Do you guys want your religion on your passport? I personally don't care.

As for having my religion or lack of on my passport, I'm against it. It really has nothing to do with my traveling plans so I don't see why it matters.

yay, the thread is saved!!! well done... I don't think religion should be put on passports because for some people, like those experimenting with different religions to find the right one it would change too often and be confusing to answer.

For those places who do require it, are you able to write "None" or something like that?
