I really didn't think she was overly dramatic as far as leaving the ceremony. She went in, saw what was happening, and made an emotional choice to leave, thereby setting herself apart from the others at the very beginning of the game. She didn't storm out in an angry fashion or express disdain or judge the others in the group for participating. She basically just said "I can't do that".

Well, like I said, in some parts of the OT, God is the one and only God. In other parts, he's the god of the Hebrews, and the existence of the gods of enemy cultures is acknowledged, and if you wear the wrong colors, you'll get a beatdown.

As far as Survivor goes, I didn't see this part, but the whole "Let's-all-bow-to-the-cute-Buddha-and-pretend-to-be-Asian" thing sounds incredibly misguided and patronizing/trivializing rather than respectful. I think she was right to punt on it for a number of reasons.
