-+- you don't want to read this, i'm sure. it might be inspiring -+-
issue one of WAMI (Works of Art that didn't Make It)
(note-- this thing didn't go off as i wanted it to. all this really
proves is that "resurgam" is a dumbass. i wanted to choose
the most extremist right wing christian and interview him/her
to get a quick laugh. instead i found a dumbass who really
isn't that funny. i doubt you'll even want to read this...)
<except perhaps the last two or three lines>
<Resurgam> kewlio
<Resurgam> what magazine is this exactly anyhow?
<fooled> alright. the log's on. for starters, tell me your first name, age,
sex, age, current faith, and political party. anything extra would
be cool as well.
<Resurgam> gees.
<Resurgam> my name is Annelizabeth Kim and i'm 317 year old christian vampire.
<fooled> haha - that's funny. really tho.
<Resurgam> or to be really serious, i'm 21 and my belief is in Christ
<Resurgam> (actually, that was really serious, hon)
<fooled> political party?
<Resurgam> none
<Resurgam> i'm a female, by the way
<fooled> are you a part of the christian coalition? what do you think about
it?
<Resurgam> i'm a youth minister/director/counselor
<Resurgam> i'm not involved in any christian coalition
<fooled> what do you think about it though?
<Resurgam> well...
<Resurgam> i figure if you want to have a coalition, fine.
<fooled> lack of information to pass judgement?
<Resurgam> well, lack, yes, but from what've seen, it is okay.
<Resurgam> one thing though.
<Resurgam> i am adamently opposed to prayers in school.
<fooled> why is that?
<Resurgam> prayers? because...
<fooled> because isn't a good enough answer...
<Resurgam> see, the Christians are seeking prayers in school with this weird
wacked out thought that only christians are the ones that pray.
<Resurgam> but there are others out there in the world with different
religions and world views
<fooled> don't you feel there should be a separation of church and state in
this wonderful (ack) country?
<Resurgam> i mean, personally, if that is what you believe, hey, fine. but i
don't want that shoved into my kid.
<Resurgam> i think there should be a separation.
<Resurgam> from the study of history
<Resurgam> most nations that has had the unity of state and church has had
some sort of a several century long rebellion.
<fooled> true. do you feel that christianity is the only "right" religion?
<Resurgam> yes, i feel that Christianity is the only right religion.
<fooled> so separation of church and state, in your opinion, would keep your
child from learning of other religions?
<Resurgam> no, it would keep my child from learning it in school (outside of
maybe some history courses or philosophy courses.)
<fooled> so you would rather teach the child about those religions?
<Resurgam> ...hm... *grin*
<Resurgam> i would rather that i teach my child in a fair manner
<Resurgam> i have friends of all beliefs.
<fooled> eheh that'd be a little biased. <grin> - but here's one a little
off topic.. who do you think you'll vote for in '96?
<Resurgam> that one ex-general if he decides to run.
<fooled> colin powell?
<Resurgam> yeah, that dood.
<Resurgam> i would want my child to form his or her own opinion.
<Resurgam> gag!
<Resurgam> biased? hehe
<Resurgam> hm... let's see...... hm...
<fooled> didn't you just say though that christianity is the only right
religion? what would you do if your child decided to switch over to
another faith?
<Resurgam> you know, i think i'm speaking a bit fast, but i doubt that my kid
would.
<fooled> ah... do you feel that religion is becoming less important as
generations go on?
<Resurgam> actually, i think it's gotten a bit more important.
<Resurgam> not just christianity, but religion in general.
<fooled> actually, i think you're wrong. most people i've talked to say their
children really don't care one way or another about religion. what
do you think would spawn these feelings?
<fooled> do you think their music (nirvana, white zombie, pavement, etc)
<Resurgam> spawn what feelings about what?
<fooled> their lack of interest in religion.
<Resurgam> youc an't ask a kid who's 10 what his feelings of zoraostrianism
<Resurgam> that's rather obvious.
<fooled> well i'm not talking of a child who's 10. i'm talking of kids who
are 15-25+...
<Resurgam> you know, kids in all generation is and will be always influenced
by three major sources: media, parents, friends
<fooled> zoraostrianism doesn't sound too bad either. i was at one of their
temples in california.
<Resurgam> well, alright that too. but any many kids know about
<fooled> do you think the popularity of music such as nirvana, white zombie,
etc has a big effect on them though?
<Resurgam> really now? one of my best friends is a zoro
<Resurgam> i think it does
<Resurgam> let me say something
<fooled> my father is a zoro..
<Resurgam> in every generation... or a time period... hm... let's take the
impressionist period for one...
<Resurgam> the poems and literature worked with the music and art etc etc
etc...
<Resurgam> they work together
<Resurgam> same with the works of like walt whitman... he worked with nature
and so on and so forth
<fooled> your point?
<Resurgam> these are all working together to fuse in that period's thoughts
and beliefs to one being... the human race.
<Resurgam> so my point is... OF COURSE IT'S GOING TO AFFECT THEM!
