Religion

In the religious world, side parts dominate. Specifically with the big churches, the charismatic preacher is often striking that strong pose of dualty - good/evil, us/them, heaven/earth. Surprising is the number of the top religious leaders that have the right part - and often they are very different from the typical...here is a sample

Pat Robertson

James Dobson (Focus on the Family)

Tim Lahey (Left Behind book series)

Of course, the right parts are not the only ones out there...there are plenty of left parts and even a few non-parters. but consider this...which part would Jesus wear? Can you imagine him with anything other than a middle part?

Actually, I did find a painting of Jesus with a right part:

and flipped it just to see what if he had a left part....do either of them look right?

I think this illustrates the ultimate strangeness of the side part when it comes to considering a personality which should be more balanced - can you see how this could be an effect in people who are living now?
