      To be fair, anon also can’t tell the truth or if someone is making shit up.

        I’d wager the vast majority of people that don’t know anything about another person’s religion couldn’t tell if what they’re saying is true or not.

        Circumcision, fasting, transubstantiation, without any knowledge or frame of reference there really is no way to tell if someone is just talking out of their ass or not when it comes to religious traditions.

          In my culture we sing our religious allegiance to the decapitated head bust of the great dictator who secularised the country

          (not even joking)

      People within the supposedly same religion can’t agree on things all the time. It’s entirely possible that his girlfriend’s version of the religion is nothing like what op would find online, or even more likely, that Apple op would find multiple claims online that disagree with each other.

      The thing about religion is if looking at the moon is against a religion, but some senior person in that religion really likes to look at the Moon, it’ll suddenly be allowed.

      “The Internet says you can look at the moon”

      “Oh that’s regular Navajo. I’m Fundamentalist Navajo. Also, fuck you for arguing with me about my religion. We’re through.”
