		<description>Claire: No worries, it&#039;s a lovely post, thanks for writing it. Yay, Rosa Parks!

As for Refracted Light, I have no problem with their use of the word &quot;morality&quot;. They explain exactly what they mean by it, and, you know, it&#039;s &lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt; website. Their Christian website, so, of course, it&#039;s going to mean their version of Christian morality. Also I&#039;m not sure they &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; fundamentalists. One of the reviewers is a Catholic and the other a Presbyterian. I certainly didn&#039;t get an over-the-top fundamentalist vibe from the reviews.</description>

		<description>justine, thanks for the shout out! 

regarding &quot;refracted light&quot;: i have to say i object to the use of the word &quot;morality&quot;, since it&#039;s clear from reading through a few reviews that &quot;morality&quot; means &quot;alignment with MY IDEA of christian strictures.&quot; that is to say, they are using the term &quot;morality&quot; to mean &quot;the morality of OUR christian sect.&quot; i would have no problem with that if they would just say so, but i do have a problem with them using general &quot;morality&quot;, because their morality is clearly not mine, and their use of language is misleading. 

basically, they&#039;re doing what all christian fundamentalists seem to do, which is to say that their christian fundamentalist morality is the only &quot;morality&quot;; that my system of rules and mores--which includes supporting gay marriage, and finding many non-christian and anti-christian ideas and narratives good and compelling--is not a system of &quot;morality&quot; at all. basically, they&#039;re saying that only christians&#039; ethics can be moral.</description>

		<description>You weren&#039;t miffed that your writing warranted a mere B+? Good show, old girl. Nice to see the upper lip stiffening.</description>
