That was interesting, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh, that was very moving.
ReplyDeleteMy parents weren't really religious; they were Church of England, but went to church only for "hatch, match & dispatch" and never sent my brother or me to Sunday school. But my mum was still prejudiced against other religions. My brother married a Catholic, and she didn't like that at all; she always had something against Catholics though she would never explain quite what it was.
I married someone from a Jewish background. When we just started going out, and before she met him, my Aunt asked his name. When I told her, she said, "He's not Jewish, is he?". Not even particularly subtle prejudice. She was always perfectly civil to him, but I always wondered what she *really* thought, deep down.
It's very sad. I went through a religious phase ("flirty fished" at an impressionable age) but thank goodness I grew out of it and saw sense. My husband & I say that he's a Jewish atheist and I'm a C of E atheist.
Even my brother's wife is starting to leave the church, but I don't think she's quite decided there's no god yet. We live in hope ;)
We'd like a word for atheist that doesn't include the "theos" part. The Brights (www.the-brights.net) tried, but we think it sounds a bit pompous.
Jeez, sorry, I've rambled on a bit here, haven't I?
Drawers? Who needs drawers?

@ Linda: It's sad when people judge by race, religion, or heritage.
ReplyDelete@ Vid: Exactly, I don't have a dresser or drawers...
