I ordered this hoodie from Johnathan Pageau's online store: (https://www.thesymbolicworld.store/listing/cosmic-mountain-black2?product=212)
For those of you who may not know him, he's a well known orthodox iconographer. I thought the design was nice and I wanted to support his work, but I'm now realizing it may be questionable to wear it, since it depicts the crucifixion.
On one hand, it's not an icon, so I'm wondering if it's any different from wearing a cross necklace, but I wanted to get some input here.
It always confuses me that religious jews from the middle east wear clothing from Poland/Europe (black hat)? Are there any folks going against this trend? Trying to reclaim traditional clothing?
For example, I am Iraqi-Jewish. It seems strange that I would not dress like my grandparents.
Many schools, particularly in the UK, where I am from, have a mandatory uniform policy from ages 4-16 years. In these policies, many schools ban headwear in the school building, but make an exception for religious headwear like the Islamic hijab or Sikh dastar. Should this be the case? Do you think this is hypocritical to allow religious headwear in school buildings, but ban secular headwear?
My argument is that why should there be exemptions to dress code rules because of religion? IMO, religion doesn't equal a free pass?
It's a uniform. The word "uniform" means "the same in all cases", in this case referring to clothes worn at school. If you allow some students to cover their hair/head, but disallow others, that wouldn't be the same. You either make the head covering a mandatory part of the uniform for the whole student body, or not allow anyone to wear one, regardless of religion. Covering your head when no one else in the class is makes you stand out from other students, and not look uniform, defeating the purpose of a school uniform policy.
What do you think? Interested to hear other opinions!
Whether it's a day to day article of clothing, something you wear for a holiday or special occasion, or perhaps never. Do you personally wear any? Do you feel any pressure from your religious community to wear something? Does your religion instruct you to wear or not wear something?
For my religion, there aren't any requirements or expectations to wear anything specifically. Personally, I might buy a necklace with lyre, which is sacred to Apollo. Or perhaps I might get a tattoo someday with a laurel wreath.
What about y'all?
Hi, it's been a long time since I was last in Rome. Do I still need to be covered to enter religious places? (I'm male by the way)
Last I remember it was no hats, shoulders covered (easy for me, just wear a tshirt), and knees covered. Is this still the case? And are shorts that end below the knee ok, or should I wear trousers?
I myself am not that religious, but religion is such a big part of a lot of people's lives and the ability to make yourself in the game is something I think is massively important. While I don't wear a rosary, or a turban, or a kippah daily, MANY people do to the point it that they can't properly make their simselves without them.
Additionally, most sims players don't just make themselves. I commonly will change the traditions of winter fest to be less Christmas and more Channukah. I will add Ramadan in spring (well not called Ramadan, but like fasting day to fit with the themes on the other calendar holidays in Sims). I'll change love day to be more like Easter, sometimes even with the religious ceremony tradition. Giving my sims a religion adds so much personality to them and helps create a better story sometimes
I've heard people argue against this by saying, "I don't want EA shoving religion down my throat," which is the same argument I heard people say when they added the option to be trans, and my answers the same with this as it was then, you don't have to use it, it'd just be cool to have the option
Anyways what do you guys think? Sorry I really only used three religions as examples, I don't know much about Hinduism or Buddhism, etc.
What do your priests wear? What do the followers of the religion(s) wear? Is it required for all times or only for prayer?
Hi all, I’m not really sure if this is the right place to post this. If it isn’t if you could direct me to a more appropriate place then I’d really appreciate it!
I recently (albeit in hindsight - rather stupidly) bought a top with the Virgin Guadalupe printed on it. It’s from a small designer on Etsy whom I think is Hispanic. At the time I wasn’t aware of the significance of the symbol in Mexican culture, although upon learning more about it it did touch me deeply (as a queer and recently discovered nonbinary person who is suddenly feeling incredibly alienated from all their friends - although I know my struggles as a white queer person are not/never will be the same as queer/trans/nonbinary poc).
However I’m worried that I, as a white/non-religious person, by wearing it am watering down the meaning of the Guadalupe to Mexican people, specifically the indigenous Mexican people. As from what I’ve read, Mary appeared as a dark skinned woman to a Nahua man speaking Nahuatl. I think because I saw some articles crop up about the Guadalupe becoming more commercialised by larger fashion companies/corporations and non-Hispanic people adopting it as a “trend” made me worried about all this. Like, if I’m gonna wear a symbol, I may as well do it with the knowledge of what it represents to the culture etc.
However, I don’t want to accidentally appropriate this symbol of Mexican identity and end up hurting/offending anyone in the process. But I don’t know, is this appropriation or appreciation?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, if I made any mistakes here please tell me! I want to learn more and be as respectful as possible.
It was confirmed a while ago that religion would not be featured in "Paralives" even in a fantastical sense. However, I remember Masse confirming early on that hijabs would be present. Does this mean that other religious wear could be featured such as a tichel, kippah, and other headwear?
If I appreciate the look & appearance of some clothing from another culture, so long as I'm respecting the history behind it and not wearing it out of it's traditional use, then there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I believe it's a good thing. It is the opposite of cultural appropriation, it's cultural appreciation and it helps spread their culture into the mainstream.
Question in title.
Thanks!
out of habit.
^(edit: wear*)
Genesis 9:13 - “I have set my rainbow in the clouds and it will he the sign of the covenant between me and the Earth”
Say, “I am wearing rainbow as a reminder of God’s promise,” or something like that. It worked for me

What do you think as atheists?
