Catcher in the Rye: 5

"...but I can't see anything religious or pretty, for God's sake, about a bunch of actors carrying crucifixes all over the stage."

This quote isn't really one worth analyzing because it basically means what you read but I really like what he's saying. I guess this is one of those moments when I can empathize with Holden instead of just sympathize. He goes on to say that they're all just dying to go out and have a cigarette and they're all just phonies who want their money. Although most religious, Christmas productions aren't just by actors who want their money, I still feel like there is nothing special about watching people reenact something like that. And maybe Sally Hayes would call me a "sacrilegious atheist" too, but at least I'd be in the same boat as Holden. He has the same type of voice or something when he talks about religion before and says how he hates the Disciples but thinks Jesus is kinda nice. He's pretty consistent about how he feels with religion. Even though Holden is inconsistent with pretty much everything else, he seems to know where he stands with this topic. It's probably good for him to be able to rely on how he feels about this, even if it's just one thing out of the eleventy-seven other things he's unsure about.
