Thanks for these great, thoughtful comments. It’s good to know that there are people out there who are sorta, kinda, if-you-squint-your-eyes-in-a dark-theater-maybe just like me.

Kate, there’s a curious George CD? I’ll have to look for it. Anything other than Spirit would be a nice change.

Kim, your self description is intriguing.

Crimson, I know exactly what you mean!

Lill, I’d like to add to your list: I’m too much of a meat-eating, sugar-in-my-coffee kind of person for the crunchy, vegan, grind-your-own-wheat-crowd. Also, I suck at recycling. Pegboard? What’s a pegboard?

I don’t have a problem with people not being like me. The problem I seem to have is that I’m not okay in other peoples’ eyes. I’m too agnostic for the atheists, too atheistic for the pagans, not radical enough for the unschoolers, too radical for the liberals, too young to be an elder and too old for the mommy bloggers. Talk about your square pegs. I’m completely off the pegboard. Good post and very nice blog.

Shine On,
Lill

I sometimes wonder about certain self-proclaimed “Christians” who only want to associate with one particular type of Christians. Don’t they actually *READ* the Bible? Jesus was a radical- associating with women, Gentiles, tax collectors, and sinners. He is constantly criticizing the Pharisees for being “holier than thou” and reminding His followers to love their enemies. Christians are supposed to be the “light unto the world” and not to “hide it under a basket”. How exactly does self-segregation accomplish this?

The ironic thing is that I often find I have more in common with devout Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, Mormons, and even Orthodox Jews and Muslims than I do with “progressive” Catholics. Things like being pro-Life, pro-traditional sexual morality, and so on. We may not agree on the path to salvation, but when it comes to moral issues we often see eye-to-eye.

I am a quirky crunchy conservative floundering in a liberal world.

Nice to know we’re not alone.
Sorry to hear about the Spirit cd,
ours is the Curious George soundtrack,
only we like it

For those of you who are wondering who “WHAT??!!!” is, may I introduce you all to RegularDad. That was his comment-debut: some of the lyrics from the Spirit CD. I’m imagining he meant them to be heard in a heavy-metal riff of some sort.

GailV,

Your description of yourself sounds *exactly* like me. I also am a quirky, crunchy woman floundering in conservative culture. And we just moved this year. If you ever end up in PA, let me know. We could get together and you’d FIT RIGHT IN.

And I’m glad you spoke up. You should do that more often, because you make excellent points.
