If we acknowledge media stereotypes, we obviously see through them and don't buy into them, lady.
God, religious ed people give you no credit. They seriously believe that unless they and their colleagues tell you once a week for 10 years, "Jesus loves you so much he died for you, please conform, and you need to know not everyone is Godly," we'll be saved. It doesn't occur to these people that to give examples and talking about applying ethics would give us more. Really? I think that religion should be more about estblishing a set of ethics than about transcendentalism and blind faith. Faith is good, but faith enough to trust yourself means more than faith in anything else.
I am Catholic, but I don't really like the way the church takes a stand and insists they're right. I don't like the ban on abortion and gay and lesbian marriage. I don't like that women still can't do much in the church except as nuns or lay people. I don't like the Vatican asking us to believe that God raped a young woman and she bore him a son who, as God's rep, deigned to live as human to show us our error. I'd much rather believe that I am a member of a religion that was founded by a Jewish philosopher who had some really great ideas about kindness to others.
Let me know if you've got any ideas. I've got a lot of thinking to do before confirmation. I also may need to work on my theory that every person has a one-man cult.
On a totally different note ...
I finally got to go to the bookstore! And I did a lovely job splurging, too. At least, for me. Ooh! and I got some socks today too! I love socks! Argyle makes you smart!
