My friend who was married off to a rich family, just after high school. She is now a proud mother of three, planning to marry off her daughter as soon as she turns 18. But I believe they’re liberal as per their standards. And I think so because thkids wear their headgear rolled up like a turban and she reposts ‘wailing Palestinian kids’ in her instagram story every other day.
Last day she puts up a post on how ‘not only pigs are unhealthy to eat but also people eating people get certain straits of pigs’.
I asked her if her post was based on some scientific stidies?
‘But don’t your Bible says so?’
‘Every Semitic religion says the same things. It was based on the knowledge the people had at that time. Today we know pigs is healthy as any other food.’
Eating or wearing something based on you stupid belief is your choice. But claiming exclusivity and judging people who think differently based on your belief system is ridiculous
No religious text is a carta blanc. It should be treated as a point of reference
