It's from an old episode of Trading Spouses, so it's not the latest news but it does raise a valid point.
I'm going to have to ask you to go and watch this video first. It's a little loud, and also somewhat bigoted.
From what I can gather, and from a vague understanding of those types of shows I think that the scene is the "homecoming". I'm sure that the family probably thought that it would be like all the other shows, the mother, Marguerite Perrin, would be all happy to be home and it would be all love and happiness and the like.
If you watched the video you know how it turned out.
Personally I can't help but feel sorry for the family. Looking at the faces it just seems that they've seen a side of their mother/wife that they either haven't seen before or was part of the "it wasn't that bad" sort of thing.
I suspect that other people have found, and still do find, it funny.
I don't, and I don't think I ever will.
This is a person who has become blinded by her "faith". I suspect that it's "faith" because it sure isn't faith. All we saw there was bigotry wrapped in religion. Nothing else.
But it's the loved ones in this case that are affected by this woman. She let her own prejudices blind her to everything that she loves and should hold dear to her and turn a moment that should have been nice go sour because of it.
But in a world where there are people who take their faith to such an extreme you have to ask how often do they let their "faith" hurt those that they love?
And why is it that for some people such "faith" is something to look up to?
