Fiona & Loana
I really like Fiona, she's pretty and she seems nice enough. But I was a little shocked by her saying that she wished Loana wouldn't come to the goddess thing. I kind of understand where Loana is coming from. I am also Christian and I would feel a little conflicted if I were asked to participate in a er..."wiccan ritual" or something, especially if I didn't know much about it. I would probably have gone about it differently though. I would probably find out about everything the alts believe in and whatnot (that's just the kind of person I am, I ask people about their beliefs all the time because I'm just interested and curious). If I felt that it didn't conflict with my religion then I'd do it. The thing is, think about it. You have strong beliefs, and you feel that if you were to participate in something that went against your beliefs that your god would be angry, or it would mess with your beliefs or something like that. I think that is how Loana and Brent felt, they might have thought they might be sinning if they did that, and I think that's understandable. Anyways, I was a little disappointed in Fiona last night when she was saying behind Loana's back that she hoped she didn't come. I was under the impression that Fiona would try to get people to participate and not just push them aside if they didn't at first. And I kind of agreed with Loana that the question was kind of "loaded". I don't think Fiona was being neccessarily "catty" I guess she maybe thought that either Loana would never change or that she didn't respect her beliefs. It just bothered me a little though. I mean I don't try to push my beliefs on anyone, and I understand this is a competition, but they also said its a way to "grow". I think that if they would just talk to her about things (like I think Loana had wanted to talk at one point and Fiona said no) maybe something would get through. I think that Art did a good job of explaining to her, he talked to her in a way she could relate to. I think Fiona was a little intimidating. What do you guys think? :) I'm not trying to bash anyone or anything, just putting forth my views. :D
