I also get tired of people who try to shove their religion in my face and at the same time can't tell me how their sect understands the Eucharist or Baptism. And sometimes, they're so busy denouncing homosexuality, or any sexuality at all that they forget completely about things like greed and wrath.Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-1139591377598367202006-02-10T09:09:00.000-08:002006-02-10T09:09:00.000-08:00Ooh!

This drives me NUTS!<BR/><BR/>Whenever I talk about the Reformation generally or iconoclasm specifically, and the Protestant distrust of images comes up, I see heads nodding and looks of complacency in the classroom. Then I mention that many reformers would not permit even the representation of a cross--wearing one around your neck? totally idolatrous--and those same faces get very uncomfortable indeed.<BR/><BR/>Now, I'm Catholic, but I really groove on the Reformation and I like and respect most of its ideals. I deeply respect many things about the Puritans. And it pisses me off no end that there are people in America today who would pay lip-service to the Reformers, and for what? You turned your back on some of the most breathtaking religious art ever created. . . but now you have cheesy, back-lit prints of Jesus in your homes, his face on t-shirts, those gawdawful books and DVDs, and you're claiming miraculous healings and signs and so on--NEWS FLASH: the age of miracles is past.La Lecturesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09892747650463978861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-1139575037728295922006-02-10T04:37:00.000-08:002006-02-10T04:37:00.000-08:00Hey Zelda1, I totally agree that Foxe is also pers...Hey Zelda1, I totally agree that Foxe is also persecuting Catholics, and doing protestant propaganda. It's a wonderfully nasty read.<BR/><BR/>I disagree about cartoons, though, since I think political cartoons are a form of critique that should make us think about things; we need more open public debate and critical thinking, and cartoons help provide a little of that.Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-1139571870262814632006-02-10T03:44:00.000-08:002006-02-10T03:44:00.000-08:00Another religious persecution type of book is Foxe...Another religious persecution type of book is Foxes Book of Martyrs, of course the newer one has been cut so much you don't really get the hate. Or you could read the book of how to tell if your woman is a follower of satan and what to do if she is and all because we know women are more suseptible to ideas of the evil one. The cartoons, well I think people shouldn't use any cartoons of any kind to depict a bad image of another race, culture, or religion. I don't think it's worth killing over should someone do make a bad joke or cartoon, but people should be a little more sensitive, like you said these are testy times.zelda1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04212809913449846878noreply@blogger.com
