I didn't either at my last job, although I told people when they asked.

I remember this one time I had said I'd been raised Catholic, and this woman (some kind of Protestant) got offended with me because "Catholics aren't Christians" according to her.

Not sure what else she'd call people who worship Jesus Christ but ok.

It's well known that some Protestants and Catholics don't like each other.

I thought you would have known this considering the history and all.

She sounds like a moron, though...


Yes, a practicing and highly observant moron at that.

Do you like your job?

Freelance computer support which includes elimination of hardware problems as well as installing an OS and additional software for clients who can't do that themselves.
Yes, I do. That's the reason I started doing it in the first place. I could spend hours or even days in solving a problem and the only reason for spending that long is because I LOVE my job. There's nothing else in the world that brings me the same pleasure as "poking" (as my mother calls it) a computer.

Yes Bella, I knew thanks.

I just think it's silly denying the "Christianity" of other Christians, when the name of the central prophet is clearly in the name of the religion.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
- Maryam Namazie
