Some Thoughts On Things

[ominick]

I realize it's been a long time since I've written an entry about myself, but those expecting an update on my life will be disappointed. There's really nothing to report. Things have been pretty busy, what with assorted concerts and second-semester-senior schoolwork. To go into any more detail would be boring, so instead I'm going to write about

To be fair to the Christians, nowhere in the Bible does it say that the act of fornication is what causes everyone born to be a sinner. The only reason given is because of Adam and Eve. Since they royally fucked up, they, in turn, fucked it up for everyone that followed. Sin was brought into the world and, therefore, everyone is affected by it.

Sex, within the confines of marriage, is said to be a good thing. If I'm not mistaken, it's referred to as a "gift from God" to be bestowed only upon those who take those so-sacred vows that so few people actually live by these days.

Especially those people who are messing around with people 16 years their junior on the side while claiming that they're getting rid of the wife that they allegedly can't stand, even though, to the person 16 years their junior, it looks like no progress or headway is being made at all, which is causing the aforementioned person 16 years their junior to question daily why they let themselves get involved in such a nasty situation.

I digress, I think.

Point being, Christians don't say that sex is bad, and if the movie said that, the movie's wrong.

The movie didn't say anything about sin one way or the other. It merely acted as a springboard for my thoughts. But thanks for clearing that up; it turns out I had the wrong understanding of original sin. But even so, I resent the idea that I'm a sinner because of something someone else did. I suppose the rest of my rant is rendered moot.

Yeah. I've always been kind of like, well, is it MY fault that the alleged first two original people screwed it up thousands of years ago, so now I have to suffer for it?

I had a similar conversation yesterday. Carrie and I were talking about PMS and having cramps (sorry, TMI?), and she said something like, "Darn you, Eve," because part of the "punishment" for eating the apple or whatever was pains in childbirth, so people have always associated That Time of the Month with childbirth and I got to thinking, how unfair is that? Homegirl ate a piece of apple, so now, for two weeks out of every month, I want to kill everyone and eat everything that doesn't walk away.

Point being, the whole thing is kind of lame.
