Thread Name: BS: Religion
Subject: RE: BS: Religon
Well, as a person who was raised Catholic, I would have been pretty surprised not to see it on my list. It came in at #12 for me. I have a strong belief in peoples' need for both ritual and myth (personal and collectiv), so it came as no surprise to me that my results reflected that with Reformed Judaism at #1 (and I seem to be the only one so far who got it--or am I merely the only one willing to admit it?). Reformed Judaism has the tolerance my native Catholic religion lacks, yet doesn't sacrifice the ritual and myths that are important aspects of belief IMO. Though neither Judaism or Catholicism reflects my beliefs about gender equity, which are much more tolerant than any organized religion.
