[Christian hat on] I'm perfectly okay with people who are inspired by, respect, or downright "have a thing for" figures or ideas from my faith even if they don't belong to it.

It only really bothers me when they start deciding that they can say who or what that idea "really stands for," as if their interpretation superceded ours.

It's like knowing someone as a cousin versus knowing them as a sibling or spouse. One has a more intimate and knowledgeable view than the other, and the other shouldn't pretend it's exactly the same.[/Christian hat off]

And hey, I think St. Lucia is pretty neat myself-- and I'm not Catholic...
