I was watching a video and it got me thinking about this. We all know the type. The Jewish friend who comes over every year to ask if you have any leftover Easter ham. The Buddhist who everyone will brag saved them in the war. The Bahai who adheres to reincarnation instead of Heaven. The other day, I met a Muslim walking his pet pig. A match made in Heaven.

What’s the biggest deviation from the norm you’ve seen in someone of a certain religion who otherwise would show they genuinely believe in it?

    No idea how to rate different things.

    Lots of sex before marriage. Sometimes it was okay because “they weren’t going to marry them, do it isn’t premarital.”

    Lots of accumulation of weath and doing only negative to poor people.

    Lots of “throwing the first stone.”

    Publicly displaying religion from religions that specifically say not to do that.
