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?

    Had a room-mate I described as a “lapsed Muslim”. He took things like Ramadan VERY seriously, but then he’d drink like a fish the rest of the year.

    Kind of like a Christian who shows up at church for Christmas and Easter, but blows it off the rest of the year.
