Quote
Time to share a good quote from the bookk I'm reading!
Conversation between a student in Religon class and the Rev. teacher. Speaker is addressing the class.
""Just because a bunch of Atheiests are better writers than the guys who wrote the Bible doesn't necessarily make them right. Look at those weirdo TV miracle workers - they're trying to get people to believe in magic! But the real miracles aren't anything you can see - they're things you have to believe without seeing! If some preacher's an asshole, that's not proof that God doesn't exist!"
"Yes, but let's not say 'asshole' in class, Owen, "Pastor Merrill said.
And in our scriptures class Owen said, "It's true that the disciples are stupid - they never understand what Jesus means, they're a bunch of bunglers, they don't believe in God as much as they want to believe, and they even betray Jesus. the point is, God doesn't love us because we're good. We're stupid and we're bad, but God loves us anyway - Jesus already told the dumbshit disciples what was going to happen. 'The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men and they will kill him...' remember? that was in Mark, right?"
"Yes, but let's not say 'dumbshit disciples' in class, Owen." Mr. Merrill said.
Gave me a chuckle, thought I'd pass it on.
