I don’t think it counts as stealing- syncretism is present in virtually every faith that has contact with another faith, modern and ancient.

Christianity stole eating from the pagans.

Not religious any more, but got to do Passover dinner (Seder?) once in a messianic Jewish church as a kid. It was neat. Learned I like lamb and the bitter herbs were actually kind of good.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm Jewish. It's a cool holiday in terms of ceremony, but you have to remember that it celebrates death. A lot of death. Especially child death. You even pour 10 drops of wine from the cup do represent the blood of the 10 plagues.

I'm proud of my heritage, but the religion is all manner of fucked up.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Angel of death and the firstborn unless you put blood over your door. It's twisted stuff.

I'm proud of my heritage as well, but there's some bad religion in there.

I have very little actual experience with Jewish things and culture. Y'all seem to be nice people, mostly. I've never understood the hate.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I think the hate is mostly an "other" thing. Same with any other minority really.

Eating babies is disgusting. There are Christian cults that practice baby eating rituals??

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yup. Sure are. I'm an atheist meat eater. Grew up in extreme evangelical Christianity in Alabama. I still hunt and fish. Go with love. Sorry you're angry.

the what now

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lambs are baby sheep.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

Oh. Then it's one delicious ritual if you ask me. Lamb is tasty as hell.
