Interactive Religion [Tuesday, January 8]

Biff was perched on a desk, feet kicking against the wood as the students filed in.

"Hello," he said, the accent to his English barely noticeable. "My name is Levi bar Alphaeus of Nazareth. Please call me Biff. Everyone does. Welcome to Interactive Religion. Today, in a shocking change of pace if I understand the radio correctly, we'll do introductions, and then talk about what you believe the purpose of religion to be."

He leaned forward, resting his hands on his jeans. "And don't believe you have to be all sunshine and light at me. I've seen both sides of religion: the power it has to transform lives and the blithering stupidity people will stoop to in order to preserve what they see as the status quo."

He grinned. "Hey, I still remember Latin. Cool." He pointed to a student at random. "You. Name, nickname if you have one--if not, I'll give you one--and what you think about religion. Oh, and I suppose I should mention this upfront. It seems that my best friend established a pretty major one around here about 2000 years ago: Christianity? But we'll get into that a little later."

"But ..." Rikku bit her lip. "Maybe she just wanted to see it, one last time. Her home, before it got destroyed. That's kinda harsh, isn't it?"

"Right," she said darkly. "Lucky them. He let most of them live, so long as they didn't step on the sidewalk cracks on their way out, to go along with the rest of the arbitrary rules. Praise be to Yevon."
the_merriest: (dude seriously)

"I killed a god once, you know. I'm just saying." She folded her arms, with no intention of going over to the corner.
the_merriest: (uhhhhh...)

"You're ... serious? I have to go stand in the corner?" She looked at it, and then him, considering. He was bigger than her, and she had no weapons, and she wasn't really supposed to fight teachers anyway, probably.
the_merriest: (grrrrr)

"I hate this class," Rikku said, getting up and stomping over to the corner.
