地道美语听力练习:皈依另一种宗教

Debbie:Okay, I'm off. I'll be back around eight o'clock.

Marcelo:Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?

Debbie:I'm going to my religious education class.

Marcelo:Religious education class? What's that about?

Debbie:Well, I've decided to convert to McQuillanism.

Marcelo:I'm not familiar with that denomination. It is Christian, isn't it?

Debbie:No, it isn't, but there are some similarities in the spiritual teachings between McQuillanism and Christianity, but we have different ways of worshiping-different prayers, hymns, and rituals.

Marcelo:It doesn't sound legit. Are you sure McQuillanism isn't really a cult?

Debbie:Of course not.

My spiritual leader has been tutoring me on the tenets of the faith so I understand it, but I can see why you'd question it, since you don't know anything about it.

Marcelo:Well, as long as you're satisfied.

Debbie:I am and I can't wait to become a full- fledged McQuillanite.

McQuillanism is a little unconventional, but we take our faith very seriously.

Marcelo:Have it your way. What's that you're carrying?

Debbie:It's a cat costume. As I said, we do things a little differently.

Marcelo:I'm sorry I asked.
