27, 28, 29, 41, 43, 70
28 - ...honestly, I hear a lot more misogyny in fandom than I do people calling anything to do with fandom misogynist.
29 - That's what the internet is for! :D
41 - ...I don't see how that is a secret.
43 - I don't think there's anything wrong with liking kid's shows. It'd be a little weird if ALL you liked was kid stuff, but it doesn't mean that you're immature.
70 - A) Saying one is Catholic or Baptist or whatever, often refers to culture rather than what one actually believes.
B) Being a person of faith does not make one anymore stupid/ignorant/close-minded/naive than an atheist or an agnostic. (This almost seems troll-like.)

(Anonymous) 2008-05-24 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)As a former Catholic, I must respectfully say, "...huh?"
I'd like to know how you came to this conclusion.
Re: 27, 28, 29, 41, 43, 70
Or people who interact with the church on a social level, but don't pray, read the Bible, or even really believe in the doctrine. (I've known plenty of people like this, and have done it myself.)The church is as much a community/support system as it is a place to develop in faith.
Re: 27, 28, 29, 41, 43, 70
(Anonymous) 2008-05-24 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)In that, at least, I agree "Christian" has in many ways become more of a social thing than religious. Especially because it ain't just the Chreasters who do that, and lots of non-Christians do it too. Granted, it's more common with Easter than with Christmas, but still.
(I admit I was a little confused by your calling it a culture thing, though -- it made me think of Jewish people and how for many of them religion and ethnicity are so intertwined, and that's what made me go "huh?")
Re: 27, 28, 29, 41, 43, 70
I come from a really really Catholic area (South Louisana), where even if you aren't Catholic, you're Catholic by default. There's more than just the church-going and the sunday school. There's the in jokes, the guilt, the culture surrounding Catholicism, especially here, that goes beyond it being a faith.
Granted, with Catholics from less Catholic areas, I've found that to not always be the case. But down here (and apparently in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, from what I hear), culture and Catholocism get so intertwined it's hard to seperate them.
Or she could've just been referring to the guilt complex we all carry around. Like they say, Jews invented guilt, Catholics perfected it.
Re: 27, 28, 29, 41, 43, 70
I like this idea. We Jews do the guilt thing all the time, but only Catholics have a religious mechanism based around it.
