Plagiarism is wrong. There's a reason quotation marks and citations were invented.
I hope the bitchy Christian blogger loses just for that attitude, but I doubt it since it's endemic and iconic.
But I don't swim in that pond (mothers), so I'm not voting for my favorite fish.
I am shocked that they didn't try to disallow the non-Christian blogs on the grounds that they don't have "faith". I was going to avoid saying what I was thinking when I described what I thought they thought the token blog should be... it was so specific as to be offensive.... I'm pretty sure they want the token non-Christian blog to be written by a "good Christian woman" married to a Jewish man and trying to sneak in as much Christianity as possible--- the token "other" faith winner would be something like that... where it's only nominally and shallowly something else. Because people don't use the word "faith" unless they mean the kinds of fundamentalism that hurt other people and their own people. It's supposed to be a generic word, but no one uses it that way.
You'll have to excuse me a moment, I had a wardrobe malfunction and my cynicism was showing.
If they do disallow non-Christian blogs, I will speak out against that discrimination.
