Will No One Kill Me?
Dear Wonderful Readers:
I’d like to start out by thanking you all for playing along. It has been a lot of fun so far. Well, mostly anyway.
Anyhoo....most of you have read that I moved to TX to save as much money as humanly possible for one entire year. This means that one job is just not good enough for me. NO!
No, I now have a second job. I decided to work in a restaurant...in order to keep myself humble...(those who’ve worked in restaurants will understand why that’s funny)...because idle hands are the devil’s playground or something like that. Whatever. It just means I make more money and I’m a greedy little bastard.
I’m also apparently some sort of masochist.
I do not have a day off for two weeks, (before anyone gives me their sob stories about how that’s nothing, why, they worked 4 years without a day off in the colds of the North Pole in 30 foot deep snow drifts, with no shoes or mittens....please, spare me--I’ve worked an insane amount in my lifetime...I know this is nothing compared to things I or others have done before....just stick with the fricken point!), and will not be blogging very much as I will be spending any time within these walls lying in my bed, recovering resting.
I will try to visit the sites on my blogroll at least once in that two weeks and drop a comment in....so please have patience with me. The things I do for a lousy buck.
Anyway, also, those who have emailed me....pretty please, with sugar on top, wait just a tad longer for a response.
Ok, now....I want to discuss my question from the previous post as you will all have P-lenty of time to tell me how wrong I am, how that’s not the same thing, debate each other, ignore me altogether...whatever you fancy.
For those who did not read the question and/or for those who are too lazy to scroll down, the question was:
If a person who is admittedly selfish, gets very jealous of things you do or people you talk to and seeks revenge whenever you displease them, turns around and says, “I love you”, would you believe it and is that really true love?
Now I know damn good and well that isn’t true love. But I was kinda playin’ a trick on you all...because I didn’t give our entire debate.
How many of you who said that wasn’t real love, also believe in the Xian G-d? If you do and you admit that this isn’t real love, then why are we to just accept that out of an invisible creature that has never been proven?
If I’m not being clear, (and also to beat you to the punch of, “Well, that’s not MY G-d), allow me to summarize:
I was raised an Episcopalian. (That is also known as Catholic Lite for those who are unaware.....Half the guilt...) I was always taught that G-d was a jealous, vengeful and selfish G-d. But he loves me.
We won’t accept that from another human being but we are supposed to accept that from a Xian G-d. Really.
Oh, and for those who ask, “Well, if you don’t believe in G-d, then why do you use the dash when you type the name?”
First off, I never said I believe or disbelieve in G-d. I’m of the religion known as:
“Yah, I’m really confused because aren’t almost all of you guys in your thousands of different religions, in the most basic, simplistic form, saying the same thing?”
I don’t believe in a Xian G-d. I don’t believe the Bible was written by G-d...I believe it was written by man, NOT because G-d told them what to write but it was solely thought up and written by man and I don’t believe that Jesus was the son of G-d.
I mean, if Xians are so sure of heaven and their rewarded afterlife, then why are so many fearful of death?
While we’re on this subject....let me just ask this question as not one single Xian has ever been able to answer it for me. I’m giving you the chance.
Per the Bible:
The first two people on earth....Adam and Eve. Yay. They had two sons, Cain and Able. Yay. Cain kills Able in a fit of jealousy. Boo. Cain is banished to another tribe. (Obviously I’m paraphrasing.)
Where the ^%$#@! did those people come from?
Anyway, second, I use the dash in the name because I know there are Jewish people who read this site and from what I know, they don’t ever actually write out G-d....I could be mistaken but I started doing it out of respect.
I don’t have to believe the same thing you do to still respect your ways.
Most people are not interested in discussing religion so I won’t be surprised if I get a response out of this or not.
Oh, and you stupid ass liberal pukish trolls....that’s right...I’m CONSERVATIVE and yet I don’t believe in Xianity. Suck on that one for awhile...I hope your brain caves in on itself and escapes you by way of mouth through a toxic and self combusting burp.
Discuss.
