Ask a Staffer Catch-22: Ask me things! Sakura Rurouni

--- Quote ---I have grown to loathe devotion to orthodoxy over things like common sense, reason, and progress. My period of being scared in church went away very quickly, and I was soon identified in Sunday School classes as someone who asked way too many questions, and this made the teachers look bad. I once came up to a pastor at a church my family was visiting and told him that his constant use of leprosy in his sermon was biologically incorrect-- the specific type of leprosy he was mentioning attacked the nerves, not the blood, and it ruined his metaphors. He accused me of valuing science over the word of God, and it actually made me cry and sink into depression for quite a while after that, because it was a grave insult to me. My love of science and my love of God do not in any way conflict with one another, as I see it.

Someone both religious and rational?
--- Quote ---Becoming so good at remembering Bible verses in my youth has paid off, because now as an adult, it's really easy to lay the smackdown on ignorant people of all faiths or non-faiths who make crap up about the good book.

This is so true and is tinged with just a bit of enjoyment. Maybe I should have been a lawyer; proving people wrong at their own game is something I'm good at.
--- Quote ---The idea of a life without religion seems utterly surreal, if not impossible. I could never do it; religion plays an incredibly large role in my life. That should answer your question.

Thank you. Thank you so much. It's one of the draws of the series for me - that ZUN managed to make a popular series with dozens of characters and KEPT SEX OUT OF IT.
Everyone always asks about the worst, but what is the best moment you can recall from MotK?

Hello Purvis:
What's your preferred bible translation?

Have you ever read it in the original, for that matter?
Aya Squawkermaru:
Oh yeah, that song. My dad listens to that one sometimes.
Also, so glad to see I'm not the only one who believes that the things that happen in Touhou can happen because of friendship, not romance. The overly-romanced version of Touhou that the fandom seems to idolize just pisses me off.
Out of the Touhou characters that you're either neutral about or only slightly like or dislike, who do you think is the most interesting?
