I was watching a video and it got me thinking about this. We all know the type. The Jewish friend who comes over every year to ask if you have any leftover Easter ham. The Buddhist who everyone will brag saved them in the war. The Bahai who adheres to reincarnation instead of Heaven. The other day, I met a Muslim walking his pet pig. A match made in Heaven.

What’s the biggest deviation from the norm you’ve seen in someone of a certain religion who otherwise would show they genuinely believe in it?

    There’s an inside joke about Iran that after the Shah was deposed, the only thing that changed was all the illicit activity happened inside instead of outside.

    Its pretty believable considering you can find plenty of Muslim Iranians who openly drink and party, hence why they’re actually the least likely to be seen amongst a group of Muslims.
