interesting. I like it.

another ouch for the catholic church. great concept though, and you really conveyed it well. i hope the writing club appreciated it

WOW. You gotta love Leviticus; all that burning of the oxen that shall be male and shall be burned on a stake and shall be burned on the night of a maxing moon...
I had no idea there was a Parable of the Mustard Seed...I just heard this sermon in church one time by this old substitute minister...kept talking about how the mustard plant grew into the great Mustard Shrub, the greatest of all shrubs, and about how that grew into the Great and Shady Mustard Tree and it offered hope to the people and there was much rejoicing...I honestly hope it didn't come straight out of the Bible. No offense to anyone who may be reading this now, but I was laughing at that sermon the whole time. Others were too. I guess maybe I'll just burn in Hell now. Whatever.
As you can see, I'm not a real devout Christian-I'm really not a Christian at all. I'm more of a...a Whateverist. Here's to Whateverism!

PS:
Hey Steph thanks for reviewing my story. I've already got seven chapters written out for that-it gets a little cheesy later on...there's another thing I'm gonna fix in the rewrite. Just to let you know, I won't keep you waiting. Maybe just a week.

Hello
I have only ever been to church once, as a request by my friends mother if i stayed over the night i had to go to church. I have also attended a youth group bible study once.
from these experinces it is obvious to me that organised religon is bullshit. so is Christain religions in general - you know how they all have God and Jesus but then each of them seem to think if you are not a ... Christian you go to hell. God is inside everyone, there is no need to go to church as long as you believe and no right from wrong.
But anyway...
great structure and style.
