...if anyone's wondering why I sometimes feel like a fish out of water here, here's one piece of evidence. The following was posted on our internal bulletin board:

Hello, we have a few people that meet for 1/2 hour over our noon hour to pray for our company. If you are interested in joining us, please send an e-mail or voice mail to <name>

It's just another sign of the fact that this place (like most, if I'm honest with myself) is populated mostly with Christians, who feel totally comfortable discussing their faith in random conversations, while those of us who are pagan or atheist or otherwise non-Christian, talk only in whispers or when away from the building.

I've often felt lucky in that I grew up Christian in places where it was just another minority religion. There *is* something uncomfortably intolerant about Christianity as practised in the US, though, to be fair, for most people it's more a matter of unquestioned assumptions than active hostility.

As for the "song-and-dance": I love it. ::grin::

Thanks :) Had fun writing it.
