Comparitive Religions

Some people say that Judaism is the Mother of all religion.
Some people say that it is an antiquated form of a discounted and senseless religion.

What do you know of this faith, and what are your own opinions?

"I guess I don't know," Lana says feeling a little foolish. "Something *I* personally do or have done? I don't know that it's something I've ever thought about before tonight."

"I suppose. Like having to learn how to do long division out by hand because it's important to know *how* it all works, but using calculators or computers to do higher math."

"Christmas... Well, you have the masses and the rituals that have been done throughout the years, but you also have the family traditions."

"I used to go to Midnight Mass with my Aunt Nell and then when we got home we would each get to open one present before we went to bed."

"For me? Well, now it's just me on my own. I don't go to mass that often and there aren't any presents to open. I usually just go and visit my parents' graves and the next day I go to someone's house for Christmas dinner - always kind of feel like the poor relation."

"I know. Especially now," she says, thinking about Archie. "And I am grateful really I am. It can just be... hard."

new beginnings always are. They mean the end of a style of life with which we are comfortable.

Lana nods. "I think that's exactly how it feels. I know it's what I want and the way I want to be going, but it's new and different. And scary."

and so what do you need, to take the leap of faith?

"I think I already took it," she says, thinking of making love to Archie last Tuesday night. "And I'm glad. But it's still scary. And because it's unfamiliar territory I'm always wondering if I've done the right thing."

what does your heart tell you? *slightly wistful look*

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2005-10-26 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
"My heart?" she whispers. "My heart says that this is where it belongs. That this is *right*."

*gives her a slow nod, then moves on*
