One of the most interesting ways that Christocentrism rears it’s ugly head is when a Jewish person does something because of our religion and here come all the ex-xtian atheists to say “GOD DOESNT CARE IF YOU EAT PORK” or “YOURE NOT GONNA DIE IF YOU WORK ON SATURDAY”.
Like yeah, no shit. As a Jew I don’t fear god. I don’t think he is gonna impose consequences on me if I break his rules. That’s not how the relationship works.
If I do something because Jewish tradition says to, it’s because I’m honoring my community and keeping my culture alive. God doesn’t really enter the equation. He can have given us a rule, but if you know any Jews you know we have nine to eleven ways of following any rule and it depends on what suits us in the situation.
So if you slip a Jewish person trief to “show them” that nothing bad will happen to them, you are an asshole of the highest order and have fundamentally misunderstood the rule they’re seeking to follow.
Judaism does not include fear of God. It is a partnership with history and community and culture. And god can come, too, if he promises to be cool about it.

I was like "Bill's just talking fancy to impress Ford" but then also he is telling the truth and then I realized I could just make a picture out of Bill's internal contradictions so here
Usually if a song is longer than ~6 minutes it's a special-occasions-only song because my ADHD does not have the patience to sit through the whole thing.
However a couple weeks ago I heard "The Sun, The Moon, The Star" by Æther Realm—which is a third of an hour long—and since then I've listened to it multiple times a day.
Absolute masterpiece of a song, recommend it to everybody
Caveat is it's melodic death metal, which might be a turn off to some people
okay so mikalight week day 4: devotion devoted to god with dirty hands
Dib was exhausted and fell asleep in class. Gretchen decided to take a chance.
how aboutttt sayu and near, and the prompt is mourning? (:
Sometimes, they like to pretend that their respective family members are alive and well. Sometimes, one whispers instructions to cuddle in different ways than usual- what angles that the other should mimic with their arms, what positions to fall into- and closes their eyes, using their partner to recreate the touches they're starting to forget. It's a pure kind of love, however sad around the edges; it's also a poor substitute.

He couldn't believe it. It was like Tak all over again...
As Gaz waited outside for Dib, she laments on how stupid he was.
I had the thought “this could be a fanfiction”
So I’m writing it :)
I thank the person who gave me this idea
