Comparative Religions--Monday, Period #3, Class #5

Vala was not in a good mood as the students entered, which might have something to do with her torn clothing, leaves and twigs in her hair, and general dirtiness. Or possibly with the fact that she'd missed the opportunity to chaperone Homecoming in a gorgeous dress because she'd spent the weekend up in a tree.

It was probably better not to ask.

"Today, we're studying Christianity, that most noble of religions whose first few generations of believers started off by being oppressed and brutalized and ostracized by both the Jews and the Romans, only to turn around and return the favor once they became the dominant religion on the planet. As with Judaism, this is a monotheistic religion, except for that there's discussion of the Holy Trinity, which is confusing because I thought a trinity was a combination of ingredients. I guess that goes to show you that you can't trust the Food Network."

"Anyway, I started getting confused and a headache, but I have a TA who will be more than happy to talk to you about Christianity while I have a few hundred ibuprofen. There are also copies of the New Testament to read and discuss, as well as a slightly less reverent look at the religion."

"Take it away, Sam. Also, large dogs are a deterrent to a free economy. That is all."

Lana was still feeling a bit groggy and not quite herself after last night's sleeping pill, so she just listened quietly and took what notes she could manage.

Adam took notes, wondering exactly what had happened to Vala.

Sam had a bit of a deer-in-headlights look as he went up to the front of the class, and may have thrown a glare or two in Vala's direction while she wasn't looking. "Uh, okay. So, I don't have any kind of formal education in Christianity, but I've studied it and I follow its guidelines as well as I can, so I'd be happy to answer any kind of questions you guys have to the best of my ability.

Oh, this was going to be an unbearable day.

"Yes, Dean?"

"So this whole chastity thing... they can't really be serious about that, can they?"
likethegun: (i'm watching dean)

Miraculously, Sam did not roll his eyes at Dean.

"Yes, they're completely serious. Being chaste keeps your soul pure, which makes you less likely to sin, which makes it easier for you to get into Heaven. It all ties together."

"Because of course, making someone else really really happy is a bad thing," Dean said deadpan.

"I know this might come as a surprise to you, but there are ways to make people really really happy without having sex with them."

"Yeah, but having sex does make people really really happy. I'm a results kinda guy."

"But you can get the same results with other things," Sam pointed out.

"Trust me Sammy," Dean said with a smirk, "not the same results."

Sam? Still glaring at Vala. If only he'd brought his crown with him.
