Religion
There are several ways in which one voices their views and beliefs about religion. Whether it is within the scope of conversations, in the articles of magizines, in the writings of books and stories, on billboards,perhaps just by simply living out their convictions on a daily basis, or even through using all of the above. One way L. Schuler has chosen to voice his opinion about religion is found in his short story "Bananas In My Teeth".

These examples tend to convey that at least several of the religious lessons Schuler grew up with and recognized, were merely just words spoken instead of beliefs steadfast to live by. Now, let's briefly summarize Schuler's take on religion. prosper, and, that was what the gospel was for. He said his father fixed most of the stuff around the house himself.
