I think it's interesting to look at holden through christian standard because in some ways he a lot like mr. magoo when it comes to christianity...in other words, he seems to be so tuned into the religiosity and goals of christianity that seems to not see them...like when he runs into the nuns, he's so awkward but also giving of himself in a perfectly christian way...I worry about the rise of the religious right and as a citizen of colorado springs I've lived through hell due to zealous christians who think their religious views don't go far enough into schooling and home to suit themselves, so I worry about how the question of holden's christianity might be presented. I've always felt that the beauty of holden's character is that beneath all the mucking around and searching, there's a person who is very admirable in some ways most religions would praise...will
