not to mention the ridiculous quotes like "you are exactly my brand of heroin" and "your scent is like a drug to me" that girls now find these "deep" meanings in.
their moms are even worse.
I was actually just talking about everything you just said with one of my coworkers the other day.
You can't really compare twilight to redeeming love.. wouldn't you say that the type of love in R.L. reflected more the love of Jesus than an actual guy? That's what i got when i read it, but maybe that's just me.
Ya, that might be the point of redeeming love. But every girl I know read it and said "Oh my God I love Micheal Hosea" and not "Oh my God I love Jesus".
And either way, it sets up an unrealistic idea of what love is. For 90% of girls, if they dated a guy exactly like Micheal Hosea or exactly like "Jesus" then they would get freaked out and run away. If the boyfriend doesn't live up to the example set in the book they get disappointed. It is a lose lose.
In my opinion Redeeming Love is just a less trashy version of Gossip Girl that is sold in Christian Book Stores.
Amen. I have realized, girls always talk about how in the media girls are objectified. But in romance books and movies and magazines, guys are idolized. The whole point of all that is to make girls get crushes and then obsessions. Its sick.
