I am an atheist. No religious beliefs. I jokingly call myself a Pastafarian if it will get a laugh depending on the situation.

Common misconceptions- All chassidic Jews have the same faith- there are actually dozens of different groups, each with their own philosophies and customs.

Chassidic Jews don't use the internet- many of them do, but are careful in how they do.

Chassidic Jews all have peyos (side curls)- my sect did not

Chassidic Jews judge less religious Jews- most don't. There's a rule that Jews who are not born religious are not liable to keep the rules, unless they become religious.

Kosher means a rabbi blessed the food- It just means that the food was supervised and handled according to the Kosher rules.

Jews are good at math/money- many chassidic Jews do not have a strong secular education.

There's more I'm sure.

My calico cat, Quinzel, brings me the most joy. She's my sidekick. She sleeps on my back every night. I love her very much.
