That's a simplistic way of looking at a complicated subject, and it doesn't correspond to what most people do with most religions/beliefs. Most religions have parts that are open to the public and parts that are closed and most people are pretty good about not hijacking closed practices from religions that are considered more 'mainstream.' You don't have to carefully explain to most people that communion wafers don't go in the meatloaf, or that you shouldn't wear sidecurls or Mormon temple garments to a club. Meanwhile, no one cares if you want to collect icons, or make your own hamantaschen or illustrate a copy of The Pearl of Great Price. The fact that people have such a hard time seeing these nuances in indigenous religions is tied into exoticism and seeing these specific beliefs as decorative accents.

People wear priest's and nun's outfits to clubs all the time. Do you think that's objectionable?

NAYRT but I think anyone would see why that /would/ be distasteful to people, and not something you do when you're trying to be respectful. You don't have to agree, but you can't exactly be shocked if someone takes offense, you know? Sexy Priest Outfits are made to be shocking.

SA also do you not see the difference between making jokes about majority vs minority culture?

cultures = / = religions

The w*indigo thing is very much cultural.

I'm not sure if you're deliberately ignoring the point about closed and open spiritual traditions, or if you just have some wild misconceptions about Catholicism. Either way, a habit or a cassock are just clothing. As long as you're not delivering sacraments under false pretenses, you're not violating any religious doctrine by wearing one.

Otherwise, Catholics would be banned from watching The Sound of Music since none of those actresses were actually nuns.

I think the general measure should be that if a majority of religious or cultural leaders are consistently and repeatedly asking people not to use it, that's when we should listen. If priests and nuns all over suddenly started pushing for no more sexy nun costumes or loose depictions where Christian imagery is used as a lazy shorthand for a vaguely Christian thing, we should listen. But they aren't, so it's fine.

This was a great response, thanks.
