It’s been suggested that since I’m not a believer, I might want to steer clear of theology. But I’m not a hippie granola either, and I always felt comfortable pointing out THEIR inconsistencies when I was in SF. Now that I’m here in the land of the scary fundamentalists, it’s only natural I should pursue the most logical and available local targets…
Besides, I’m better acquainted with the Bible than a large proportion of the so-called “faithful” anyway, having actually READ it and all…
My husband may or may not be in an airport in San Francisco right now, looking very sleepy and possibly rather distracted. If you see him, please offer him a Sauasge McMuffin, as there are no Bojangles locations nearby…
Couldn’t have said it better myself:
What’s offensive — also surreal and absurd — is the notion that Christianity, a faith claimed by 76% of all Americans, is somehow being intimidated into nonexistence. Some of the earliest Christians were stoned for their beliefs. In some parts of the world today, Christianity is a crime punishable by death. And the AFA is feeling persecuted because a salesclerk says “Happy holidays”?
That’s not persecution. It’s a persecution complex.
I know a lot of you get it in your local newspaper, because it’s one of those strips which inexplicably showed up just about everywhere in the country almost overnight. And I cannot, for the life of me, understand WHY. Does anyone really think Pearls Before Swine is funny? Or that it has any discernible point at all?
Am I just missing something here?
