If someone said they didn't celebrate Christmas I'd ask why because I'd be curious.

I understand, but you must understand that this gets tiresome to those of us who go through this questioning process constantly. That is what it is to be part of a marginalized group - you're constantly being questioned on why you're not part of the mainstream.

Upon reading some of your other responses, I'm not sure what you know what other people mean by marginalization. Some guy in Kansas - a majority Christian state - saying that Christians are dicks isn't marginalizing Christians. One person can't do that. It takes a whole society to marginalize minority groups. I get that you were offended, but you weren't marginalized.

OTOH, I am marginalized when I know that despite any other qualifications I might have, I would have a tough time running for elected office because I am not a Christian. There is one person in federal elected office who openly shares my beliefs.

If you live in the United States and are a Christian, you are privileged over all other religious groups, period. Your complaints that someone was mean to you do not compare to the society-wide exclusion that the minority religious groups experience.

I'm assuming you're Muslim or something like that since you've said your beliefs aren't well liked in America? If so, why not take it as an opportunity to show why you believe what you believe and don't see it as a constant attack?

I know the reasoning why if that's true but there's always a chance to create a better understanding of something that doesn't get a lot of good press. For example I'm part of the gothic culture. A lot of Christians don't understand it. I get a lot of questions and am told what I'm doing is not Christian. But whenever I'm asked questions I try to help them understand that it's really okay.

It's not the same as religion, I know, but I know a bit about what you go through.

I didn't mean to say marginalized in the comments above. Sorry for that.

And no, it's not just about someone is being mean to me that prompted my responses. It's the fact that if I say I'm Christian I get a lot of bad looks and this is in a supposedly red state. There are more smaller religous groups than Christians that I've encountered. Such as Buddism, Muslim, wiccan and others.

I'm actually not Muslim. I'm an atheist.

I'm sorry - eh, wait, what am I saying, I'm not sorry you occasionally get people questioning your motives. I'm glad, because maybe it will help you be a little understanding of what it's like to be a minority.

[twilightedge.livejournal.com]

I see.

I don't understand your sarcasm because I just said that I know what you feel like, even if it's not on the same level.

[13chapters.livejournal.com]

I'm not being sarcastic.

[twilightedge.livejournal.com]

Ok.

You could also be a Wiccan, a non-Wiccan pagan, a Muslim, a Hindu, or just about any nonChristian to have made the above statement and still be talking about the same country. Christianity can't be marginalized when it pervades just about every aspect of our lives.
