This is really strange. I'm doing my advance degree in performing arts.And a few weeks ago we had to come up with certain "risks" we'd have playing certain characters. I have this weird relationship with religion and the whole concept of god. So I tackled that.
It's not too surprising. I mean, what you really believe is hard to manually change, even if you're actively trying. I'm an art history major, which means always talking about Jesus and saints and christian patronage, but it has no real effect on me aside from being fun stories.
[Kurt will take it as willingly as he can. That cast will get drawn on when he's less depressed.]
I actually have a lot of friends of who believe in one faith or another. Which, makes for interesting conversion. But at the end of the day, I have a hard time dealing with something that fundamentally says I shouldn't exist. My uncle was gay, and my very christian grandparents found out, the took him to a priest to try and get him exorcised. But, strangely enough. There still good people, even if they struggle with the lifestyle, they try.
[Have a quick kiss Kurt and a "I'm sorry" whispered in your ear]
Sooo yeah, I'm way too lazy to log out and back in. You know who I am. XD I have to say, I adore you anyway, but even moreso for making this post and thinking/caring about how people might take everything that's said in regards to this episode, because not many people would.
While my own beliefs more closely parallel Kurt's, we obviously all know that Quinn's uber-religious. I think it's important to note though, that while she got upset during that little ~debate~ in the beginning, and was at the hospital to pray for Mr. Hummel, she never really tried to push her beliefs down anybody's throat.
So that's pretty much how I'll be playing it. Everybody knows what she believes, and that's never going to change, but she won't ever try to ~convert~ anyone. XD Although that'd be pretty hard to do when you're only given two lines an episode.
And I honestly didn't intend for that to be so long. Sorry, hon! I tend to ramble.
Same, a friend of mine is head of the christian students organization, actually, among other friends who believe other things. I just have trouble believing in anything that supports discrimination against anyone (Though it's really the system not the religion itself insert influences rant here)). I would go into more detail but I don't want to dig myself into a hole here on a public forum. The last thing I want to do is offend anyone.
[He's just going to nod a thank you into Sam's chest, tense as hell. He won't be relaxed for some time, nope.]
I think my point was, it was a good ep, I went in thinking I wouldn't, and it surprised me. It's possible I just was still annoyed from the last Britney ep, which I thought was a tad pointless. But still, they treated the subject with grace and understanding. And I loved Sue in this ep, she played it perfectly.
[Sam's just going to a good... boyfriend? friend and hug him tightly, now was'nt really the time to ask what they were]
For Sure. Misunderstandings and hurt feelings are no fun!
Pfft! You can't not excuse him! He's too adorkable! Yeah, getting over one sided crushes suck, particularly when that person continues too be just as nice.
It was like "AWWWWW SHE HAS A HEART" then she made that comment about orange mane of hair.
[He's just going to let the smaller boy cry on him, running his hand though his hair and whispering that if Kurt needs anything, he'll be running to get it]
It's been a rocky road for him. Crush, being called a fag over and over, Rachel and Finn being over all summer, dad stealing, getting over the one sided crush, then Finn being nice...he was so sure he hated Finn now but...he can't hate him. He just can't.
Beautiful post, bb. ♥ I was worried about this episode, mostly because religion wank is the worst kind of wank, and I was bracing myself for it to be everywhere after this aired.
I actually share the same fundamental beliefs as Quinn. More or less. But that's neither here nor there.
Basically, Quinn believes what she believes, and she's strong in her faith, but she's learned that pushing it on other people is not the way to go, so you won't find her doing any of that. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how Quinn handled the religion debate this episode. I was expecting them to have her go crazy with it. But maybe that's just because they choose to mostly have her exist on the sidelines now. Which... is a completely different rant. XD
Religion, politics and terminal illness. Three things you don't talk about unless you really know the person. I felt it way too necessary to have a place to keep it real.
