How to Take Orders and Release Your Inner Slave: Handling the Challenging People in Your Life
Preachy people
by Jason Roth
Learn to respect others' religions while politely but silently expressing your disagreement. Try to find some middle ground between blowing one's self up in the name of Allah on the one hand, and having a fulfilling career, earning a little cash, and getting laid on the other. The world isn't all black and white. Just because you don't want to turn yourself and a thousand other people into a pile of charred pieces of flesh in the name of some spooky shit chanted by a guy with a beard and towel, it doesn't entitle you to prohibit others from doing the same. Don't be such an absolutist tyrant. If you think about it, not being a suicide bomber is really just your religion, isn't it?
Also be sensitive to members of other religions, such as Christians who are only looking out for your best interest when they say, "Hey, you can't fuck him." Same goes with their well-meaning advice about that clump of cells in your uterus. Those eight cells that don't show up on your sonogram yet might be the start of a soul, but even if they're just the start of the kid's asshole, you better do as the priest tells you to do and shut your legs for another nine months.
