Day# Who knows what..

I mentioned in an earlier post that I identify most with the book of James in the bible. I find his earnest and sincere exhortations for all mankind to not be shitty little gossips to each other a rather affirming way to live life

Damn you! I was going to start a discussion on religion with you, but then I read that comic and started crying.

Oh gawd, same here.. I cried twice after reading it.

Stop mentioning it! I went and looked at it again, and cried again!

I'm not a religious person, and never really paid much attention to any specific religion. I do enjoy learning about people's different beliefs & traditions as I do have my own kind of beliefs as well. I think religion is horrible in the sense of tearing people, families, friends, etc apart. But if everyone just had an open mind & the kindness to let people have their own beliefs, the world would be such a better place. Everyone needs something to believe in, to get them through the day, or a traumatic experience or just life in general.

How did the group session go?

They asked me to lead their bible study. Wisely, they fed me a massive dinner at a really nice seafood place before asking.

So of course I said yes.

I'm thinking now I either need to start googling or get a white robe, grow a long beard, and lead them down to the river for some baptizing.

I was somewhat surprised that they were all middle aged housewives, thought it would be a group of university aged students. Which to some extent is nice as middle aged people tend not to be so automatically accepting of absolutely everything. They were swilling beer like champs, which is different from your average born-agains.

So sad!
