Simon, I don't know what I am at this point. I'm a fallen away Catholic. I DO, however, believe in God. I'm like Scribe in that I'm looking for answers, but unlike him in that I do still believe in God. Right now I don't have the time to figure out what I want.

If you're just a Christian because you can't be bothered not to be, that sounds rubbish to me.

What is it? You just like to go along for the company and a nice chinwag?

There are other ways to build a community without basing it on a the false worship and an imaginary being.

Why not?

2006-04-07T09:46:00.000Z

Why not?

This was pretty fucking funny. We Christians can laugh at ourselves. We know all this shit is true but we go on anyway...

Will everyone now join me in reading about Ezekiel...

2006-04-05T18:01:00.000Z

Will everyone now join me in reading about Ezekiel... Wikipedia, Chapters 4-6.

"With no other prophet are vision and ecstasy so prominent; and he repeatedly refers to symptoms of severe maladies, such as paralysis of the limbs and of the tongue (3:25 et seq.), and the cutting off of erect penises (29:7-9), from which infirmities he is relieved only upon the announcement of the downfall of Jerusalem (24:27, 33:22).

Ezekiel also exhibits one of the most down to earth and bawdy attitudes of all the biblical authors, referring to the remembrances of a whore in a notorious passage (23:20) recounting her past lovers who were as well hung as donkeys and whose ejaculate was like the issue of horses."

And upon the ravings of such lunes is the faith of Christianity based.

Yay, verily, yay.

Erm... what?

2006-04-05T17:18:00.000Z

I know it's real petty (a bit of a theme of mine) but the last book of the New Testament is the book of Revelation. There is no final s to make it plural. Its full title is 'The Revelation of St John the Divine'. This to make clear it is not the same John who wrote John's Gospel who is St John the Evangelist. Thought you'd all like to know.

I think we all seem to agree that the people who take it literally are as weird as the vision itself so it's peace and harmony all round the blogosphere tonight. Now where did I leave my scythe?

2006-04-05T14:39:00.000Z

Yeah, I didn't understand where he got the idea Russia was part of the prophecy. It's literal but at the same time totally confused.

But, honestly, I love all the prophecy stuff. It's wonderfully imaginative. That's the kind of insanity that I prefer.

...Except when they start gunning people down in shopping centres.

2006-04-05T14:31:00.000Z

"God's gonna get creamed"

That's so funny, because these guys are committed to reading everything in Revelations as absolutely literal ... down to the swords and shields.

As a Christian, I obviously disagree with you about some things, but I'm as amazed as you are at what you can find out there. I had no idea how wild this can get.

I'd prefer to make a movie of it, dabich.

michael, I noticed today in wikipedia they have a category for "fictional deities" - like there's a separate category.

I think they both better stick to tellin' Tall Tales, like the folks who created 'em.
