You get a thrill out of bringing pork to a seder.

I said that where? Oh wait, you just made it up.

Then you boast about it so you can show off what an iconoclast you are.

OK, since you're pretty clearly not Jewish, allow me to explain something to you.

Judaism, like every other religion, has numerous different sects and divisions and varieties. Orthodox Jews follow kashrut and thus abstain from pork (and many other delicious foods). Reform Jews consider it more of an individual choice; my synagogue taught that kashrut was basically obsolete, and it's up to you whether to follow it or not.

So telling sarcastically claiming a Jew is "such an iconoclast" for eating pork is like sarcastically claiming that a Christian is "such an iconoclast" for dismissing the sanctity of the Pope.

Last year (or was it the year before?), I posted a thread celebrating Passover the way various Chatters do for most holidays, assuming it was just as innocuous as any other. However, since that post detailed my (literally) unOrthodox festivities, it ignited a massive tantrum on the part of Orthodox Jews screaming that they were the sole arbiters of Judaism and that it's inherently antisemitic to observe Jewish holidays and/or be Jewish in any way that deviates from their narrow-minded dogma.

Given that I finally got another Seder invite this year, I figured it was as good a time as any to make another post celebrating Passover and see if it provokes another tantrum among the crybabies who think they get to tell everyone what to do.

Of course, most of the crybabies are still secluded from the internet in service of one of their asinine rules so thus far we only have the hypocritical ones who are violating Shabbos to complain that I don't obey kashrut.
