[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll start

Judaism, the Sabbath. For those who observe, I like the idea of dropping everything for one day and focusing on family (I know there is the religious side). Tradition.

Christianity, charity. Christmas songs.
-Mormons, family. Put responsibility on men to take care of their families. Good afterlife story. No alcohol.
-Amish, abstain from evil consumerism 
-Catholics, being anti abortion AND anti death penalty. (Get tired of the anti abortion rhetoric that some Christians preach, while are pro death penalty). Tradition.

Islam, no alcohol, good food at weddings. Multicultural.

Buddhism, few hangups.

[b]Hinduism, fun parties with good dancing. Vegetarian.

Yes, I might get flamed, but this is supposed to be a fun thread, please keep it light.

I am cracking up here. Really?

Fun parties with good dancing have nothing to do with Hinduism. But it has everything to do with how Indians throw celebratory parties.   And yup, Indian vegetarian food rocks (especially with all the regional variations), but surely you are not discounting all the tandoori stuff? The lamb rogan josh and butter chicken? Hmmm?  The goat biryani and the fish fry masala? [/quote]

Yeah, I kind of laughed at this, too.  All Hindus aren't vegetarian, PP.  And, actually, my Hindu husband thinks that celebratory parties are the WORST things about his culture and exemplify waste and materialism.  That being said, I get where you were going with this thread, and think it's great.

For me, Protestant Christian:  The emphasis on charity and helping others.  If you were to cut all the parts of the Bible out that refer to economic disparity and charity and helping the poor, your Bible would be in tatters. Regardless of what some want to think, the religion is actually based on helping others and NOT living a materialistic lifestyle.  I love that. [/quote]
