*Warning- I don't normally do this, but I had to vent. And it is not nice. Also, this post deals with religion.
"HGTV has signed Heather Armstrong of dooce.com, recognized as America’s most popular “mommyblogger,” to an exclusive programming development deal in which she will work with HGTV’s online and on-air production teams to create innovative convergence programming for the network.
“We are thrilled to have Heather join the HGTV family,” said HGTV president, Jim Samples. “Not only is she one of the world’s best known bloggers and parenting writers, with a unique and hilarious voice, she’s also a talented designer and photographer. She’s clearly a great fit for us and our audience.”"
The title pretty much sums it up. I was perusing one of my favorite decorating blogs when she was mentioned. So, thinking that this would be a fun blog infused with fresh decor ideas and hopefully a bit of good humor, I headed on over.
Now, first, let me list some of my favorite bands:
AFI
Good Riddance
Pennywise
Heather,
Good thing I'm not you, otherwise I would've felt that liking these things gave me an excuse to take the easy way out and give up.
I don't consider myself to be judgmental, I don't consider myself to be a hypocrite, and I don't think that everybody who isn't mormon is going to hell. I think that while I believe my church is true, you have the free agency to believe whatever you want to believe.
Newsflash, Heather: People are human (seems rather redundant, but apparently she's not aware of this simple fact). Everything you are writing on your blog is a load of crap. Everything on your blog deals with your limited view of the gospel. You spout off how much you know about the church and how awful it is when all you do is talk about the people. And while I believe the church is true I don't believe the people are.
I went to BYU and yes, it was an awful experience for a poor punk rock girl such as myself, but guess what...I didn't whine about it- I SWITCHED SCHOOLS. You were put on academic probation because you didn't go to enough church meetings? Well...it's an LDS school (how did you even get accepted? You can't even put those simple facts together? No wonder you were struggling). I guess you might feel the need to mask some sort of warped guilt by writing what you do, but seriously, you need to take responsibility for putting up a false image of what the Gospel is about.
It's repulsive.
Good decorating ideas, amusing posts, sprinkled with deceit...job well done.
(I guess I'm also blasphemous for not listening to Rush Limbaugh? Not "thinking that he talks with God". You seriously have no wit if you have to stoop to lying in order to make people laugh. Idiot.)
