Dear Family-

I think it is time for another Small Writing. Like before they can be due on Monday, but let's go for 10pm. One thing that we should do is all post the Small Writings at that time so that we don't read other people's before all are posted. I believe this will be more effective so that we don't think about what someone else wrote while we are writing. Let me know what you all think.

On to the real stuff: the topic. This Small Writing should be about "beliefs" - these can be religious/non-religious, political, dietary, or just about anything. It should be something that you strongly believe in, but the writing shouldn't try to convince us to believe what you believe. That is only or evangelical "christians" and mormons.

Again, Due Monday 9/1/08 @ 10pm - no sooner. (unless otherwise discussed)

(Jenny - its your turn for a topic next time!)

I guess we could all write about our lack of beliefs, or how much better Nihlism is better than all those suckers who have to go to church every week to reaffirm their faiths. We could write about why humans needed to create religion and belief systems to verify and explain their existences and to keep poor people oppressed. Like how the whole chapter of Exodus in the Bible is replacing the reign of the Pharaoh with the reign of Yaweh.

We could write about our religious beliefs as in accordance to Philip Pullman.....

Or, we could skip religion all together (since it's ever present and absent at the same time in all of our lives) and write about something we feel passionate about and believe in right now..... Like the My Morning Jacket concert or Gypsy dinner night or listening to vinyls.
