I was going to post a fic tonight, but this came up instead...

So apparently the "lack of a rod" has spoiled my rotten ass.

Along with the asses of my collective generation.

Also, I have no manners.

Or common sense.

A complete stranger said this to me.

Because asking someone to explain and justify their own statements obviously makes you a hooligan.

Who knew?

*nodnod* I'm most familiar with Methodists, Lutheranism, Druidism, Wiccanism, Neo-humanism, Scientology (I don't believe in it though I think some of its a bit credible in regards to human psychology) hmmm.... And I know some Islam. As for Catholicism I know about each day having a Saint and taking communion? ...... Yeahh... Religion has always been an awkward session for me esp since one fateful Sunday School day when I was 5 and the teacher was like "Jesus loves everybody~" and I was like "Why?" And I remember all the kids looking at me like I was stupid. The teacher blinked at me and tried to smile and explain to me that it was because the bible said so, and I was like "No. Why does Jesus love me, if he is God's Son and he died for our sins. Why did he do that?" and then I wasn't allowed back to Sunday School. XD;;;;; My parents taught me the morals of the bible without the bible story....

I actually took a class on various religions of Asia. A lot of Eastern religions have such beautiful philosophies of simplicity, peace, connection with the natural world, finding enlightenment in everyday activities...

I heard about an artist--can't remember his name--who asked his Sunday School teacher if there was drawing in heaven. She'd described how everyone there was singing and it was so happy, and since he liked drawing, he asked if there was art. And the Sunday School teacher said NO.

Same here about the morals. The ten commandments are really just...common sense.

I heard about the artist too and was like '... what. Poor kid D8'

Yeah, I consider myself with Buddhist Leanings, but other than that I don't know much about them other than the Japanese sect of Catholiscism.

... Wow. Didn't know that. D: Poor kid.

Yeah, that was my parents point. They taught it to us like that so that we couldn't rationalize discrimination/war/hatred that sort of thing. You do something because it's _good_ not because you're afraid of going to hell. XD;

Mmn, ya, there's a bunch of Saints. I was named Monica because the saint on my father's birthday was Saint Monica XD Also communions yes, I had to do mine as well when I was younger. I just rolled with it since it's what my parents wanted me to do :|b

XD I never took communion, because when I was little I had trouble separating literal from non-literal or whatever. So I really thought they were copying Jesus or something and cutting him up and dehydrating his skin and feeding it to us so we could become one and doing the same with the blood and mixing it with wine. To be honest, I was terrified of catholicism because of that and because the carpeting was blood red and the crucifix with the half-naked, dying Jesus freaked me out. I always wondered why they were praying and happy over a man's death/torture, but I know it sounds offensive when you word it that way because the next connection my brain made was 'if Jesus had been killed later on they'd all be wearing miniature guillotines around their necks..?'. XD;; I had and still have an over-active imagination.

... I never got that either, to be honest. But by that time I had read a bunch of my mother's murder mystery novels and was pretty '... well, ok, whatever.' about it all. It also helps that I didn't do mine as young as other kids in Mexico did. I did mine in the six grade so I knew the 'body' was just that flat thing they put on my favorite candies and I knew the drink wasn't blood Xd But ya, it's kind of freaky when you think about it, especially if you're a little kid.
