I know, I am posting twice. I wasn't sure where I needed to post. Whoever said that they were glad that were reading Body Outlaws again, I agree with you. After discussions on Wednesday and today, I really did enjoy reading "the butt" essay. There were many that I enjoyed, but that one just sticks out (ha, ha) the most. I still laugh and as was stated, the author did an awesome job in putting the "butt" issue in perspective, of how the black community and society feels about the black woman booty issue of having a "butt", or, excuse the expression, the lack of a butt. On the other hand, I could not express my feelings in class today about the essay "Strip", because as you all know, I am a Christian and my views about the Bible and what is says is in conflict with comments made today. I think it was Whitney, who shared some of the comments or feeling that her former Pastor and present Pastor have, and I do not agree with the her present Pastor. I'm sorry I did not write down his name. Since this is not a theological course, my comments would not matter. I'm not going to get into any detail, it just goes to show, that just like society has some jacked up issues about sex, body image and gender/gender roles, so does the Christian community. I believe strongly in the Bible and try to live my accordingly, so I cannot and will not debate about what the Bible says, I let it speak for itself. I would suggest, however, that anyone wanting to know what the Word says about it, that they seek and ask God for His guidance and His understanding. I do not agree with any verbal or physical attacks whatsoever on any group becasue of their sexual preference. I will not or do not look down on or treat someone differently because of their lifestyle choice. I do not agree with the whole bisexual, lesbian, gay, transsexual lifestyle. I have a few friends who are gay, but that doesn't make me dislike them as a person, or mistreat them, I just don't agree with the lifestyle. Although the "Strip" essay gave a lot better understanding on transsexualism, I still don't like it. Well, that's my spill.
