Stuff White People Like

If you haven't seen this blog, you really should check it out:

I enjoyed most of these. Of course, this was a personal favorite:

Religions Their Parents Don't Belong To

White people will often say they are "spiritual, but not religious." Which usually means that they will believe in any religion that doesn't involve Jesus. Popular choices include Buddhism, Hinduism, Kabbalah and, to a lesser extent, Scientology. A few even dip into Islam, but it's much more rare since you have to give stuff up and actually go to Mosque. Mostly they are into any religion that fits well into their homes or wardrobe and doesn't require them to do very much.

It should be stated that I see this as a knock at "the religion of me" and not at other religions. Certainly, Christians have been just as guilty of using religion as an excuse for apathy and lethargy.

Great find, Kester. That blog has some great satire. Some of the posts are quite funny and others made me want to laugh until I recognized some of the same self-serving behavior in my life.

yeah, i think that the final post (if, and when, the blog closes) should be "having fun poked at them". I'm fairly sure that white people love this blog most.
