This is the fourth post in a series of posts titled “10 signs you are a moody $%^#!@..” You can also read what I wrote for the first, second and the third signs. Thank you.

The 4th sign is here, and you are still following me. That is awesome! Before we proceed, I would like to repeat myself like a sheep and advice you to please leave any moodiness at the door. If I am the one who made you moody about something, please read on. Baa baa baa’. Happy?

Ok! Following is the 4th sign that you may be a moody $%^#!@.

4 : You act moody around all people who do not share the same religious views as yourself.

You are the 4th type of moody person if you love interacting with Christian or Muslim or Jewish or other religious people that you do not even know personally, and at the same exact time, you act rude to people who do not share the same religious beliefs as you. Your rudeness and quietness are not signs of professionalism; they are signs of moodiness that is springing towards extremism, where someone innocent who has done you no direct or indirect harm is getting discriminated by you. You are simply a moody religious person who does not know how to interact with others. Take a look at the following example, which shows you how being obsessed with religion, even indirectly, can not only make you moody, but also make you hurt others.

Example of a religious girl being moody because of being obsessed with religion

I will keep the name of the specific religion out of this example, as I do not want to bash any specific religion. Someone I counseled long time ago told me that she was in a happy marriage with a husband and even had a 3 year old daughter when she converted to another religion. Because of her love for that new religion, she would act upset and distant around her family members all the time. In the end, she started asking her family members to convert also. The result? A divorce, and the husband kept the daughter.

She married again and now has a new family. However, she “wonders” if she made a mistake, throwing the lives of her husband and daughter, and the rest of her family, into chaos and turmoil simply because she could not co-exist with people who had different religious views.

Religion may make you moody, but don’t pass that moodiness onto innocent people

I used a very short and extreme example to show the mentality of a religiously moody person. It all started from being moody around people who had different religious beliefs, and ended up hurting everyone. While you may not be going around divorcing people, you may, however, be going around doing other things, like ignoring posts by people not having the same religious views, or even ignoring other innocent people in real life because of your own religion. Such a behavior is a sign of moodiness, which can result in discrimination because of religion later on.

Just like vodka and margarita mixed together makes many people more drunk, you mix your religious moods with your idea that everyone should have the same religion, in order to become the perfect living organism in the universe: The Moody Religious Person [TMRP]. Did I just compare religion with alcohol? Yes, I did. Is that going to make you TMRP? I hope not. If it does, then you need to breathe slowly and communicate with me. Let me know what made you moody. Please, go ahead, let me know!

What do you think of such religiously moody people?

What do you think about this sign? What do you think of such people? Do you think religion or your feelings for religion can justify the moody behavior that may be exercised towards innocent people whose only crime is to have different religious views than yours?

Just like before, I would like to invite you to come back tomorrow to read about the 5th sign that makes people moody in my view: acting nice only to rich, prominent people like many prominent bloggers, while acting rude and quiet to everyone else!
