While watching a DVD from the library my TV popped up a message saying to press a button if I wanted to watch this from additional providers.

the front office at work whenever 3 (three) seconds of rap play on the office pandora, no matter what the lyrics are like: OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD SKIP IT SKIP IT SKIP IT IMMEDIATELY IM SO SORRY

A companion:

White people, when it comes to religion you have to come to the realization that a lot of non-white cultures have a strong connection to religion. Religion isn’t just the thing that your parents used to be homophobic towards you. There’s millions of religions in the world and religion plays a big part in other cultures.

Also, if you were raised Christian or Muslim, or raised not particularly religious in a culturally Christian or culturally Muslim society (aka most societies in the world), your perception of religion and what it means to be "religious" is vastly different from the framework that most peoples and civilizations have used for most of history. Christianity and Islam are both universal religions which view religion as a purely faith-based spiritual belief and practice which you either do or don't follow, and if you do, that's good, and if you don't, that's bad. In both traditions, religion is something that can and should be spread and can be easily mapped onto other cultural and national identities. That's the whole reason why Christianity and Islam are the two largest religions in the world and global forces of imperialism and geopolitical power, because they divorce faith from other aspects of culture in order to gain as many followers as possible.
