Religion... and Ginger Fever

My second post in a day, but thought I'd let it out while fresh in my mind!

Two understandably exclusive subjects... I just came across both of them today.

I'll start with the latter...
Ginger Fever - For those of you who don't know is an unprecedented attraction to red-heads... And I have for some reason found myself gazing at gingers all week. Needless to say, I was served by a dashing Rusty this morning, and find myself wondering; What it is about Gingers that I find so fascinating?

I have no answer to my query, but if anyone has ever looked into the biology of attraction, feel free to comment.

Religion... Well, I have been perusing the blog-waves trying to get involved reading up about everyone else, and really enjoying what I see. BUT... I have found it hugely dominated by people who are blogging for god.

I feel rude, it's not my place to judge people for their beliefs, just as I expect them to respect mine.
But I grew up in a strict Catholic household where I just happened to be lucky enough to have parents whose love for me outweighed their religious beliefs, many have not been so lucky.

I guess I found my exploration a little shocking to see how many people say things like:

"This blog is about my life and the gifts god has given me."
"To learn about my church you can go to..."
"My favorite book it the Bible."

Isn't it ironic that a gay man who is exposed to so much, is shocked by conservative religion...

I guess my equivalent would be "-this blog is about my life and the shit-storm of effort I put into being as good as I am at my job, study and singing."
But it sounds more humble when you thank god for your abilities and not 5 hours of rehearsal every Wednesday, the Weekends spent studying at home and the Masses of Overtime... Not to mention the extra weekend rehearsals, hours in front of a piano and all night-ers in front of a laptop trying to analyse a rediculous newspaper article.

Am I being just as elitist as my religious counterpart? Who knows...

Sorry if anyone takes offence to this, I'm just sounding my mind.
