y Unorthodox Life is Netflix’s latest attempt to intelligentize reality TV. Julia Haart, a multimillionaire in a miniskirt, hobbles through the penthouses of various skyscrapers in New York. New York With her lovely children-seven years after she left her ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, she left her husband and Shettle.
Inevitably, the show came under fire. I agree with the criticism that TV executives seem to be obsessed with kippah and Klezmer scales in a way that they will never flatter other religions.But what is most disturbing for many is that Hart spoke out bluntly about how her ultra-orthodox life made her suicidal, and spent a lot of time trying to persuade her more conservative offspring to accept jeans, TV and Sex toys. Why can’t her children decide their own religious beliefs?
As someone who spent most of his childhood in an extreme religious environment, I can only think that these critics must speak from a privileged place, thinking that a child can easily make their own decisions about what they truly believe.
The thing about becoming an atheist is that you don’t have to worry about having neither the Law nor a vibrator in your hands. But the cruelty of the most cult is that it will cause you to have an unshakable anxiety-being a good person and loving your neighbor is not enough to save you from the eternal curse.
It is ridiculous to think that most people come to their own conclusions about religion. The eternal question is of course why most of the raised Protestants become Protestants instead of Sikhs—and vice versa. It takes decades of treatment for people to get rid of a somewhat indifferent father-why can they simply reject the worldview they have immersed in the crib? When they come from their parents, this is related to their initial sense of security, and it is often their only experience of unconditional love.
People talk about how atheism is rational, but I often think The rational mind is more satisfied with religion, This has the answer to everything: God’s will. There are not many answers to atheism. It just throws you from the warm quilt into the cold reality, bad things will happen to good people.
Therefore, Hart spent eight years thinking and saving before leaving her religious beliefs. In my experience, this involves abandoning superstitions one by one-and realizing that nothing bad happens. It is dazzling but liberating to find the answer in yourself rather than in an entity you can’t see. Those last traces of conscience that feel like it will take years to disappear-it is a shame that you have not shared the beliefs of many people you love and admire, and from whom/who you have learned beliefs about right and wrong. But one day, your brain will be stronger to protect itself from external interference, and you will grasp your independence even more tightly.
