EDIT: The person I wanted to read this did, didn't get it, or perhaps it is my fault not being clear. RESPECT is the issue.
But they also misread my previous statements about a forum NOT being a play, so what of it?
I am not against Christianity, but the way some people are using it as an excuse to tell others what to do or not to do... In a free society.
That my understanding of someones comments led me to believe that they were saying writers should care if a potential audience memeber is insulted by their faith being discussed as a mythology.
I am tired of it all. All the petty pretensions, the overeducated idiocy... The cult of (cooler/smarter/holier/sexier) than thou... The lack of listening. The lack of communication. The fire. The uselessness. Get off the computer. Go meet people from different generations, occupations, organizations and affiliations. Learn something by challenging what you believe and be open to being wrong.

I don't agree with your claim here that "Her description doesn't especially read like a satire and/ or parody."
I had pasted her description of the play above my post. Was I somehow unclear about that? I wasn't blindly referencing the play as a whole. I can only comment upon what I have read... which happened to be less than a paragraph. Olsen talks about the humanistic approach she took with her characters. So, does that previous comment smack of her using the convention of sarcasm? I'm also glad you were able to supply the definitions for satire, parody, myth & mythology. I wouldnt've been able to keep track.
Here's the gist of it. I personally don't care about the religious perspective in regard to the aforementioned play. I only wanted to supply constructive criticism as to why her tagline didn't seem to jive. Isn't that the overall purpose of the theatre group? Religion seems to be a sensitive topic with you... hence the number of pages in your response. I'm glad you were able to get it out of your system. Also, I hope the above comments aren't taken as continued attacks. I've talked far more about that particular sentence than I ever cared to. Seriously, I didn't think it warranted this much discussion. Have a good weekend. Take care. Be safe.
