Today, I watched my mother tell a man that the holocaust was "a good thing" and "necessary for population control". That man was my girlfriend's father. Who is Jewish. FML

Good God, man…
Today, my dad tried to convert me, as he has numerous times before, and asked me why I was an atheist. After giving him a polite explanation and asking him if we could drop the subject, he nodded slowly and said, "You must be menstruating or something. You'll change your mind." FML

Today, my grandmother tried to lecture me about discrimination. This is the same woman who lies about her grandchildren's race, and tried to convince a Jewish person that the Jews were responsible for the Holocaust. FML

Today, my mother told me she wanted me to get an exorcism. Yes, she was serious. I'm Jewish. FML

Today, my dad forced the whole family to sit through a two-hour lecture, with supporting research, on how the "Mayan prophecy" is actually a load of shit fabricated by conmen. Nice to know he thinks we're all borderline brain-dead, gullible fuckwits who believed it to begin with. Thanks, dad. FML

Today, after a long discussion, my dad still doesn't understand how evolution works, and thinks it's a myth that was debunked a long time ago. FML

Not the rugby team!
Today, at dinner, I stumbled over the words of the prayer and my dad is now convinced I’m losing interest in my religious responsibilities. To “bring me back to the Lord” he is trying to force me to break up with my girlfriend and quit the rugby team. FML

Heritage not hate, huh?
Today, my father informed me that I will have no chance of dating a good man if I keep up with these interracial relationships. And that he won't be supporting me through college if I continue this "rebellion." My boyfriend is half black and loves the same music, sports, and movies as my dad. FML

He probably thinks that from Hitler who thought it was a race.

your dad sounds like he is just a bit confused on what its called, but his argument isnt totally without validity. kind of...

Well.... they are a large group of people with a similar belief originating from a similar area of the world. I know that doesn't qualify as a "race" but it could be close enough for your dad.

Jew is a race and a religion, the too sperate. They can be jewish but not a Jew. And vice versa

so it's not a race?

Well it is a practice for religion, so I doubt its a race.

It's a religion AND an ethnicity. If the 2 didnt happen to share the same name, these ridiculous debate wouldnt happen

um being Jewish is both a religious designation and an ethnicity. it depends on how people identify themselves, and historically how they have been identified by their home countries' governments. also the existence of Israel makes things more complex.

I am Jewish and I can easily say we aren't a race it's a religion

OK. initially I'm gonna have to call you a dumbass until you explain this [ also the existence of Israel makes things more complex. ] at the end of your reply. WTF is that all about? Some people are so ignorant these days, it would be funny if it wasn't so sad... ~S

wrong Its both you don't have to be a practicing Jew but you can still be of Jewish decent. if you trace it back Judaism was the belief of the Jewish people Jewish being the people and Judaism the religion kthnxbai

Out of any bad FML ever on this site, I hope this one gets deleted. This will start a huge, misinformed, infuriating argument. Not to mention it's very existence shows how misinformed the moderators are all well. Oh, and google it for gods sake. Judaism is a religion, BUT Jews are a race as well. I am not of any religion, but because I have Jewish blood, am part Ashkenazi Jew as well as part Celtic. Those are my ETHNICITIES and one can be separate from another.
