That the show can be anti-religion, but let me ask you this, Would the show be as entertaining if it didn’t have those things in it. I mean if everyone was good and did what they should and did not sin, what fun would that be? Now I really liked in the past where they worked small things into it. Like Jen really waiting to have sex the first time and when she did, being careful. Same with Belle, she really contiplated over whether to have sex or not. I wish they would do that with one of the younger kids now, maybe Will. He is on the right path and I hope they keep it that way. Since he knows first hand what can happen when you have unprotected sex at such a young age. Both with Mia and his mother.
I know it is hard, but times are changing. Very few kids wait until they are married to have sex. I am not sure I know of anyone, but maybe one of my friends who waited. Even my ultra-religious friend didn’t wait until she was married. I think many woman feel that waiting can be a mistake, I know I did. Heck, my mom told me not to wait, she said that my father and her waited and she feels that was a mistake. And my mom was/is very religous. She was Catholic school girl, went into the misionary, etc. She is no longer Catholic, but she is still Christian. She goes to church, belongs to a home group in the church, etc.
So I feel in order for Days to be entertaining and keep up with the times, it has to have those elements in it. But I don’t think it makes it anti-religion. I think by having a church, having Caroline talk about it, by having Chloe talk to a priest, and other small touches it makes it not a anti-religous show. But again, that is just my opinion.
We are all different, we all have different opinions, but I think that is what makes us so great. We can have civil conversations, we can disagree, and we can walk away still being friends.
