Okay, we tackled sex (go here to read that post and the umpteen comments it generated). How about religion?
We find theological challenges is the most unlikely places. I found this one in a murder mystery book by Dana Stabenow titled PLAY WITH FIRE…I’m afraid my perception is that Ms. Stabenow demonstrates a very negative concept of Christianity and organized religion in general…Ms. Stabenow demonstrates a comprehensive detailed cursory examination of the errors in her apparent experiences. Her view of Christianity and organized religion as expressed is, unfortunately, blatantly cursory…My purpose in writing this essay is to serve as a responsible defense of Christianity in the light of Ms. Stabenow’s deliberate dissertation against organized religion and Christianity…
Couple of things.
First of all, I am flattered beyond belief that my little novel is being taken so seriously.
Second, the events in the novel were based on three real life events in Alaska that occurred in the decade prior to the writing of it, two of them taken from stories I read in the newspaper and the third from a story told to me by an eyewitness. I keep telling you people, I don’t have to make this stuff up.
Religion. It’s like politics, it’s one of those things you never bring up in company for fear you’ll offend someone. But you don’t scare me. Did Play with Fire make you mad? Turn the taste of your communion wafer sour? Turn you completely off the Kate Shugak series? In which latter case, you probably won’t be reading this post. But if you are, time to weigh in below and tell me what you really think.
