One of those entries that's not going to earn me any friends

Sep 30, 2009 18:47

so, this fic i read. it was very well written. parts i liked, parts i didn't. it was cute, and had a happy ending. and i was highly uncomfortable with the anti-christian themes. Not uncomfortable in the sense that it made me rethink my religious beliefs (it didn't), but in the 'i'm not welcome here' sense--unwelcome, not for my beliefs or attitudes ( Read more... )

Was this J2 fic by any chance?

I just want to say I agree completely with this entry. I would say more but my brain is total mush.

*THUMBS UP*

I am not capable of being, like, cool and reasoned on this subject so I don't even try. But. Yes. This.

it took me over a week to figure out what exactly didn't sit right about the whole thing. and a discussion with someone to figure out how to say any of it even once i'd figured it out.

I totally agree with your post. Especially this part:

Christian or not, I say it's time to reduce hate wherever and whenever we see it. I think we as humans, have a moral obligation to do that. That means everyone gets less righteous anger, fewer snap judgments based on assumptions rather than observed action**, that means calling people out when they do it--particularly people in our own groups.

i have nothing to say in response. i think the original post wore me out.

this is why you are mabudachi and also why you belong in grad school. YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT. XD

*shudders in remembrance of assignments* i am editing your writing sample, young lady, i can assure you i do not want that again. also clearly, i'm still doing it outside of grad school, so why pay?

i think that since you're post call, i should be asking you if you're ok XD i'm good! i am not even stressing about work like i probably am supposed to be :) though i'm going semi-camping (one of those lodge-type outdoorsy places) this weekend and wondering what the hell possessed me to sign up. no internet, no cell phone, socializing. i am bringing a book.
