April 19, 2009 at 03:12Let me be non-Orthodox
Boiling up.
Those who know me well enough know my religious beliefs. More precisely, non-religious. However, every year I hear: "Christ is risen." Who is it? I heard that this is a young Jew who was killed, but he was resurrected. Well, this story is not close to me at all, so I can only rejoice for a person - well done, I say that he is risen. After that, rays of so-called diarrhea are directed at me.
Why? Why should I congratulate you on Easter? Why does it not occur to Muslims in September to say “Eid Mubarak!” To everyone and take offense at the regular “Chooo?” o_O "? Why are my acquaintances with an oriental appearance missed by Easter and Christmas? Why do they deserve it, but I do not? I want it too. Go to the solarium? Why do not congratulate me on the day of the wheel boots? Yes, because I do not ride boots! Why do they congratulate me on an Orthodox holiday?
Guys, this is your chip, not mine, I do not play these games. Believe it? Believe, your business. You have the right to faith. I have the right to lack of faith . I don’t think that any normal person should answer “truly risen”. So, probably, any normal Orthodox person should answer . I am not Orthodox.
Friends, this password review, forgive me for this comparison, is not just a ritual mechanical action. This is a congratulation, an exchange of joy with those who also rejoice, with those who also believe. Do you not understand that the resurrection of Christ at the wrong address (and with the realization that we are going past the ticket office) invalidates these words? This only creates the appearance of religious unity. What for?
Is it really Christian to make others think like you? Make others rejoice at how you rejoice.
Once again: I am not Orthodox. You know that. And do not be offended if I respond to the Orthodox password with a non-Orthodox response. I will do this out of respect for faith, because it does not accept pretense, pretense kills faith. All. Peace, friendship, chewing gum. Let's respect each other's views.
Tell Aminna!
Say hallelujah!
PS I hope I did not offend anyone with directness. But I consider it necessary to recall that our state is secular. At least I would like it to be so.
PS I would gladly hide the topic on the blog. I am indignant so as not to clog the general feed, but karma has not yet grown. Sorry. UPD: Grew up, thanks, moved.
