[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From an elderly person who may have had a bad experience decades ago i will treat it as the posters above. From a person my age who wants to start debating me on why MY religion specifically is a crock, I will end the conversation. Just nod my head and turn away and find someone else to talk to. [b]These people would never dream of doing this to people of other faiths, it would be a monumental faux pas[/b].[/quote]
Riiight.  It’s not like people are ever anti-Semitic or Islamophobic, right?

I’ve had multiple people tell me they were surprised to learn I’m Jewish because I don’t “seem greedy.”   I had a Catholic neighbor tell me my ancestors killed Jesus.  Someone drove a truck into my friend’s mosque during Friday prayers, trying to kill people.   The notion that Catholics are somehow uniquely oppressed is so clueless that it would be funny if it weren’t so sad. [/quote]

These are totally different situations because OP is talking about a Catholic person to a Catholic person.

Have you had a Jewish person say these things to you? Would it land differently? Ugh Jewish guilt my mother guilts me every day I don't call... would that be different?[/quote]
