No, based on what people say to me here I am incapable of imagining religion and all its aspects because it does not make sense to me.
I blocked them. Once they got to the point where they were defending the idea that *in their language* "atheist" can mean more than just not believing in God but generally not believing in anything, and that's what they thought someone meant by Jewish atheists, I was done.
Perhaps this is unfair and reflective of bias on my part, but I initially thought they were Nordic, and when I learned they were Czech, I went, "...oh." Because a lot of Eastern European/Slavic views on Judaism are... not great.
A friend of mine (who is also Jewish) lived in Poland for a few years like 15-20 years ago and she also made a similar comment (she encountered a lot of antisemitism). I dunno if it’s still like that but it makes me sad to think that mentality has still managed to hold on
Poland, from what I understand, has unique issues because a lot of people feel that being the location of so many concentration camps means outsiders judge them for not having a greater resistance, & so there's been a shift to divert blame & paint Poles as the true victims.
So their historical accounts differ on how many ethnic Poles were in the camps versus Jews - they claim far more Poles than anyone else's accounting. And they've done a lot of erasure of their history at that time. This is obviously done by politicians, but it skews the education of the public.
Good grief. I can’t even begin to respond to that without wanting to throw something lol
