    If he said, “Every Thursday I do a 24-hour voodoo dance and shake my magic rattle,” he would be called a loon.

      “people who confirm to the majority culture are considered more normal than those who don’t” thanks for that insight.

        The CEO of a company asking his employees to fast and pray with them is absolutely not the majority culture nor is it normal. That’s fucking weird. This guy is a loon

          Two thirds of American adults identify at Christian. That’s about 3x the total number of people who practice Voodoo worldwide. So yeah Christian practices are “normal” to most an Americans and Voodoo isn’t…

            Christian practices have nothing to do with the idea of a CEO telling you to fast and pray. That’s not normal. You can dance around it all you want but it’s fucking weird.

              Those are literally core tennets of Christianity. It doesn’t matter if I think it’s weird, or you think it’s weird, most people are gonna be ok with it.

                No, most people are not okay with it. We don’t live in a theocracy. It ain’t normal. Stop trying to normalize it.

                  I’m just trying to figure out what you mean by “Christian practices” that doesn’t include a prayer or fasting.
