Castout

In our evermore permissive society, it's becoming increasingly tough to make lifestyle choices that people will object to; Hetro, Metro, Homo, BoHo, everyone is ok with it. Whatever you do, no matter how outrageous the lifestyle choice, people just love to be cool with it. 'Nah nah I think it's great for him, really, I mean why shouldn't he live as a cross dressing squirrel if he wants to?' But not everything is so easily accepted. These days being a Christian is almost the modern equivalent of coming out:

- 'Mother, Father, I've realised I'm Christian!'
- 'Cynthia dear, feed him to the lions... or the cat.'

For added shock go for the 'born again' variety... or, for even more fun, convert from Anglican to Catholicism, then you'll piss off everyone you know. People hate it; they love to hate it; they hate to love it and love to love hating it. I mean sure, there are bad things done in the name of Christianity, but the same could be said of bananas, there was a whole war about them! It's fair to say it's had a bit of a dodgy past, I mean take the Spanish inquisition; what an incredibly mild way to describe what went on there. Inquisitive is looking down the back of the fridge to see where the chip went, not putting someone on a rack until their ankles pop. But we're all learning, and the path to forgiveness is long and winding. So join hands everyone! Kum ba yah ma' lord...
