This is a Nearly FML. It’s an FML, nearly. It got positive votes from the users, by wasn’t approved by our team.
Today, the first words I heard from my "good, Christian" future mother-in-law included a salvo of curse words and a hushed rant about "them dirty Jews". I'm culturally Jewish. This bodes well. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was insulted and harassed by my sister and her boyfriend, all because I proposed yesterday. They were angry I might get married before they did. They have known each other since primary school; I met my fiancée earlier this year. FML
Today, I was serving a family at the restaurant where I work. When I went to ask the little girl what she wanted, I was tongue-tied and got "cutie" and "hun" mixed up and ended up asking, "What can I get for you, cuntie?" FML
Today, my wife and I decided to celebrate Christmas Eve with her side of the family. When we arrived at her parents' house, I heard her mother say that Christmas miracles don't exist since my wife brought me along. FML
Today, my grandmother gave me rosary beads for my birthday. She told me I'd better start praying for a husband. FML
Today, and for the past 13 months, I've been living in the States. I've been called a Nazi, asked if we have electricity in Germany, and been made fun of the way I speak with my "German accent", the list goes on. I'm not even German, I'm Danish. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me, all because he's scared of my mother. FML
Today, a kid from my school called me, saying he's going on vacation to Japan soon and that since I was born there, I could teach him the language. His exact words at the start of the call were, "Hey man, you speak Asian, right?" I have to be around this shithead 5 days a week. FML
Today, my mother told my boyfriend a cute story about me when I was little. The one where my cousin and I were caught pooping in a urinal in the church basement. FML
Today, I went on my first date in months. My mum had invited friends over, and when I told them I was going out on a date, my mum said "No you're not, don't lie. Who would go out with you?" FML
Today, my sister told me not to come over anymore because her baby is scared of my face. FML

I'm sure she would've really hit it off with her savior, a short, dark-skinned, culturally Jewish fellow named Jesus.

The thing I don't get about Christians hating Jews is that they don't realize their religion only exists because of a Jew.

What does your spouse have to say about it ?

Yep, sounds like Texas

sounds more like a moderate Nazi rather than a good christian. (not even sure of the word "moderate" and "nazi" makes any sense at all....)
BrotherPhil 35
Well, it was Texas, after all.

Don't worry, all religions are stupid so you two are in the same boat in the end.

From one Jew to another, I am so sorry. I had many relationships ruined by parents saying they didn't like the lack of Jesus in my life. I told my in laws the first time I met them I was Jewish. I got lucky, they have a mixed family. My advise is to talk to your fiance about it. Be honest about how you feel. It is so important that you are on the same page. Good luck and I hope this helps.

tell he how jerwish Jesus is.

you can take the good Christian part out of there..she is the type of Christian that makes everyone assume we are all like her and in all reality Christians have their roots in the Jewish belief for the fact anytime Jesus taught he quotes the old testaments always talking about the law and the prophets..so from a Christian to you I can promise you not all of us are like her and please don't judge all of us based on one person. some people want to refer to jews as "Christ killers" but once again since he died for all the sins of all the world really we are all Christ killers since he took our place on the cross.

Just don't rope us all together with her. We're not all bigots like that....Sorry, you had to experience it, OP.

Sadly people like her are all the world ever sees. like the complete fakers from Westborough Baptist church who use and abuse our faith just so they can spew hate.

Oh Texas. It's one of many places I will never go to by choice, since I'm also culturally Jewish.

Fun fact. Texas leads the U.S. in Muslim population with 422,000 of the 2.35M Muslims in the US living in Texas, because, you know- Texans are so bigoted. Or maybe it's your bigotry against the southern Bible Belt you're more worried about?

#52: Texas is also the largest state, so. maybe go by percentages, that compares a lot better with other states.
the_real_dvd 21
Largest state? It's neither the largest state geographically or by population.
NYGiants1925 22
#52 is it bigotry when every jewish or black person I know that's been to Texas has been on the receiving end of racism & antisemitism?
BrotherPhil 35
Speaking from outside the US, my general impression of the southern states is generous hospitality, true kindness, and wonderful cooking. Unfortunately, Sheriff Teazle and his brethren are also part of that image, and don't seem to have gone away. The thing that makes me sad about the bible belt is when I hear wonderful, kind, loving people defending the actions of thugs and bigots.

I don't think it's fair to judge an entire state (the second largest) by these kinds of popular examples. I'm sure it's more common in some of the more rural areas, but think about the 6 cities that are in the 20 biggest cities in the US. I have never experienced any real anti-Semitism.

I doubt she's actually a Christian

Why do you say that? What makes your version of Christianity more pure or correct than hers? There is no historical or cultural basis you can point to that suggests Christianity is inherently against bigotry.
the_real_dvd 21
Jesus. Jesus was against bigotry. And since Christianity is based on his life, I would say that's a historical standard.
