You all know I’m an atheist, right?<\/p>\n
So, every once in awhile I do a search on the Cheesecake City library’s website’s card catalog for topics that interest me. I end up with a stack of books that are interesting, without having to do much work. A few weeks ago, I did a search for fiction about Hollywood. I came up with a list of about a half dozen books. I’m down to the last 3. The first of them bored me senseless, the third book hasn’t been touched yet.<\/p>\n
The SECOND book, however, was interesting from the start. Fiction about a regular woman who ends up with a big Hollywood star. I’m about halfway through it when I realize, “Fuck me, there’s a lot of religion in this fiction book about Hollywood, more than usual.” When I noticed it early on, I thought perhaps there’d be some interesting parables to the whole Scientology thing (ya know, crazy religion, not mainline stuff), and that’s what kept me reading.<\/p>\n
So I am sitting here, reading and thinking, this is really a sucky book. Who published this monster?? I grab my trusty laptop and do a search for the publishing house.<\/p>\n
Oh, fuck me, they tricked me into borrowing a religious book from the library. I just checked…this is totally a stealth religious novel. Here are the subjects for this book per the card catalog online:
\nMotion picture actors and actresses — Fiction.
\nBiography as a literary form — Fiction.
\nMarried people — Fiction.
\nBiographers — Fiction.
\nHollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.) — Fiction.<\/p>\n
I ask you – anything about religion in the above subjects?<\/p>\n
It’s like when you’re cruising down the highway, bopping along to some song on the radio and it turns it’s a stealth religious song. Or the time our culinarian had us taste test desserts, and we all thought it tasted a little weird, only to find out it was Atkins cheesecake and chocolate cake.<\/p>\n
BTW, Gene thinks this is hysterical. I told him all of this and he keeps telling me that I got “snaked by the Christians”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
