Bryan and I just finised watching an episode of Trading Spouses. This weeks crazy was a Louisiana woman who felt everything she didn't do was of "the dark-side". After walking into her new home for the next two weeks she saw gargoyles, buddahs and stars. This she felt was all "dark-sided". Personally I don't feel there is anything wrong with gargoyles. They sit at the house for protection. I don't necessarily believe they really do protect the house but that they are cool looking. And the stars... they were only stars. They weren't witchcraft, satanic, or dark-sided, just stars. The family even claryfied that.
Meanwhile, at the crazy's house the "dark-sided" wife was beaten down and bombarded with question after question about her religious beliefs by the crazy's close friend. This poor woman said she believed in God but even still was attacked with accusations of not being a Christian. From what I saw I don't think she is a Christian but she isn't from the devil either. Poor woman.
The crazy woman went onto the the families talk radio show and was having fun until a psycic unexpectedly showed up to do the show and the crazy freaked out. Casting spirits out in God's name after throwing out a few swear words. If she would had just heard the man out she would have learned that he grew up religious and still had God in his life. But she thought this was all, yet again, "dark-sided".
Ever hear of Spiritual Gifts you "fiercely religious woman". Maybe God just forgot to get that memo to you.
Obviously these people only heard as much as they wanted to about Christianity and took it to the extreme.
Back to the crazy woman's friend attack. This nut of a lady who honestly attacked the poor woman at a luncheon was asking about her background with church. The PW said that she was Catholic until the age of 8 then the family started going to Unitarian. She said right out that they believe that everyone is equal. That's when the nut forcefully asked if that meant we were equal to terrorists and rapists.
Um yeah. We are all sinners therfore we are all equal. Someone needs to actually read the Bible.
I saw the same show last night! Talk about STRANGE. I was really beginning to feel very sorry for the "alternative" mother. I can't believe the Louisiana mama's friends were so confratational about religion.
ReplyDeleteDidn't their mothers teach them that politics and religion are not "starter" topics?
