“I’ve had the Bible shoved down my throat since I was little …. I’ve got a bad case of Religious Indigestion!” says Gideon LeRoux (Charlie Barron) to Martinus Zoeloe (Erik Kilpatrick) in PLAYLAND.
Perhaps the truth is sometimes hard to swallow. Perhaps the problem is the shoving down the throat. Perhaps the man-made trappings of religion can’t be digested because they should be spit out.

I’m not a fan of “religion.” Spirituality – yes, but not religion. I tell my children, “Listen to what people have to say about their beliefs. Respect them. But think about it. Question it. Don’t blindly accept anything.”
Think and chew on ideas. Don’t swallow anything whole.
I’m not very popular with their (Catholic school) religion teachers!
