Give me a reason, give me a chance

Well, now I have to make up for, what, four days? Anyway, Saturday I "celebrated" Yom Kippur and decided to fast--when I tried to explain to someone my reasoning (my self-identification as a Cashew), suddenly several people pointed out I could never be a Cashew because Judaism is matrilineal and Catholicism patrilineal, and stuff went down until ( Read more... )

I'm sorry if you took my comment to mean that it's impossible to be a Cashew because you're either 100% both or 0% both; I didn't mean for it to be taken that way. I just find it interesting how the different religions lay claim to the next generation in different ways. I'm descended from a Catholic father and a Jewish mother, but I feel that it's how one is raised and what conclusions one has come to on their own that determines what religion you are: if you feel that you're a Cashew, then such you are.

And was there a particular reason you didn't want to shower later, or was it just because your day was full of things to do? It was never specifically explained.

No, it wasn't your comments at all; other people pointed out that Judaism is determined matrilineally and Catholicism patrilineally, so, in a sense, I should not exist because I do not fit their standards.

My genetic/religious background always seems to mess with people's preconceived notions of how heritage and religion work. To many people, I do not/should not exist. XD It's quite amusing.

And I didn't want to shower later because if I didn't do it then I wouldn't be able to shower until 10:30 or 11:00 at night at least.
