My parents always called me a belly Jew

@sassygirl3869 What does it mean to be a "belly Jew"?

The food-kreplach, knishes, chopped liver, potato latkes-Grandma made

that seems like a challenge to maintain. Those conversations, while interesting, are very emotionally taxing for me, mostly because of how animated other people get when their beliefs are challenged. Feminism conversations more so than religion, because ultimately I'm at a disadvantage in the discourse either from lack of knowledge, lack of a real point to argue, or lack of real interest in challenging someone's point of view on the subject.

So I mostly try to use people's beliefs to point out how they should be disappointed in themselves for doing something clearly wrong.

@Spoony When I was in school I used to listen to what my maths teacher said, then look at what he wrote on the board, if they were not the same thing I would correct him. He would always say the correct thing, but write something that was different.

All you need to do is to pay attention to what people are saying, and then what they do. If they don't match up, well then something is not right.

You never challenge their beliefs, you just wait until a contradiction arises and then point it out. Basically getting them to argue with themselves. All you do is listen and watch. You do not need to know anything about the subject that is being discussed, you just need to know what they have told you about it.

Feminism is easy, because the ones that speak the loudest are often the most stupid and hypocritical, and religion follows a similar pattern of behaviour.

I don't really want to point anyone out for being worse at it than others, I feel like we're probably all pretty bad at being consistently moral or ethical or "good". I just get irked when people claim that they have the only key to the path of righteousness but then they do things that are clearly unethical.
