I'm in the middle of an all important new mystery book right now. Okay, give. What mystery book? Inquiring Minds Want to Know!

Well, let's see. >You admire Martin Luther King Jr., Dorothy Day, Bill Moyers, and the Dalai Lama; true, true, somewhat, true > and have read Kathleen Norris' "Cloister Walk" and "Conversations With God." Neither. > You watch "Touched by an Angel," Never. >dab away your tears, then analyze your emotions. Not about TV, but about some other things. You eat boneless chicken breasts, organic produce, and designer ice cream. Yes, sometimes, and does Breyer's count? > You talk a lot about the value of community but can't quite remember the name of the guy two houses down. Yes, but no. I know my neighbors well. > You ardently support gay rights even though you don't really want to think about what those people do. Wrong and right. >You believe the surrounding culture is polluted and blame it on big corporations. Yes, but only partly. I blame it on people buying culture pollution so it is what the big corporations produce so they will make money. I long for the day when a Mozart concert fills the Superdome and Eminmen (or however he spells it) is singing on a corner in New York with his hat on the ground in front of him hoping passerbys will toss quarters in it. >You give to charity but are more likely to help the Sierra Club than your church. Yes, but no. >The power of Christianity for you is the sense of community and the emphasis on love, forgiveness, and helping the less-fortunate. Partly, but only partly. Well, it was interesting, and more accurate than the daily horoscope!
