I personally like it. To me its a matter of showing people who you are. People don't do it enough anymore. I am very spiritual, and would like to make the time to go to church reguarly... but I have a million excuses not to go on Sunday. I still have a deep faith in God and like to pass it on.

What I really find annoying is when people walk around wearing this or that designer's name emblazoned across their chest, their butt, on their purse, wherever. These names have become the modern day icon that people worship... to me thats highly offensive. Media has had a terrible effect on people. They run like sheep to buy a hideously overpriced item just because thats what so-and-so in such-and-such tv show has. Its embarrasing!

Its gotten so bad that many people act as if stars are today's god(s) and they throw it in my face. Every aspect of their lives are displayed for public viewing. They are spoken about with a certain reverance that has historically been used for saints. I really have a hard time with it.

All that said, I am definately for quiet displays of religion. My sister in law... ah, what can I say about her? She takes it one step too far. There's not one conversation that goes by that she doesn't tell us she's praying for us. Then she preaches to us about what we are doing wrong. That gets a little old. Yes, I am happy that she finds solace in God. Yes, she has the right to share her love of God. But she *could* temper it. Instead of "I've been up all night praying for you." she might say "you're in my prayers." and leave it at that... not go on and on about what she prayed about and how long.
