Hello fabulous people!

Please consider for a moment what religion means to you. What is your religion more similar to- exhibit A or exhibit B, shown below? Let's assume these are your only options for now, okay?

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Please explain why, if you would be so kind.

Thank you!

Zee.

B

Because it is pretty and doesn't have any skeletons in it. ;P

A, but only because baseball and soccer players wear tight fitting uniforms.

B. It's not confined to what some human told me it's what I'm supposed to believe, but rather what I actually believe.

I'm so happy you guys are playing along!

I've been thinking about the corset a lot lately and how it was rejected around the turn of the century. It really is an amazing event in our history, in my opinion.

At one time, the corset was thought to serve a purpose. It was able to make a person look acceptable. It was structural. There may have been people around that never expected it to go away. Some people still do corset type things to their bodies. Some people still want to be controlled in order to look a certain way.

Honestly, I think it's challenging to be comfortable with the type B religion.

I do get your point Z, but even 'B' owns its own superficiality....doesn't it?

Off topic but, I've worn a moustache for most of my life. I finally gave it up a few years ago as I grew weary of trying to figure out.... the conundrum of Men belittling women's use of makeup and their own manicuring of facial hair?

I suppose nude is the purest form of religion.

But I'm really digging Exhibit B.

B because it's colorful and layered.

This is mostly an un-retortable post, except to point out that religion is the "opiate of the masses"....and 'B' doesn't supply much opiate.

It would be nice if we could find a religion that is not very complicated, controlling, or addicting like opium. If we could just find something Barbra Streisand might wear in the 1970's. Now that would be a religion!
