Addendum

So I've been thinking a lot about my last post and just want to clarify a couple of things.

1. I don't have any moral opposition to hunting. I understand why some people enjoy it. I even understand the need for population control in some species due to the lack of natural predators.

2. I do have a strong opinion on guns. I will spare you my rant. I have held and shot an automatic rifle. I don't like it. I wasn't afraid. I didn't feel out of control. I just really don't like it. It feels like something that is totally against my way of being.

3. I grew up with a 12 point buck head on the wall of our family room. My sister and I used to dare each other to climb up and touch the eyeballs. A curiosity within reach is much less frightening than one presented only in one's mind.

And as for the Jesus stuff...well...now I'm being instructed to call Edie "Jesus" as we are supposed to pretend that I am Mary. This is very weird to me and have so far avoided it every time. I keep getting corrected and Lucy calls her baby Jesus which kind of cracks me up.
