Well, you'd want a bit of good news after all that then. Wouldn't ya..?jo wrote:I have met only two people in my life who, for reasons I don't understand, are truly religious people. One being a 'Jehovah's witness.
For good or bad, she has my full respect and always will do - even though I think she is misguided in her thinking.
She came knocking at my door in 1994 claiming to bring me 'good news'. At the time I had been discharged from hospital following an unexpected operation which saved my life. I was unable to go out for 13 weeks and was bored shitless and pretty fucked off.
Where's that then?jo wrote:I pulled her faith apart (in a polite way) and she took it all on the proverbial chin.
Parasites..! They get in there, at the sick and needy..!jo wrote:She came back day after day.
I'm confused by this point. I choose to believe no gods exist. But, if they did, wouldn't they be all sexes to all humanity?jo wrote:After several weeks she realised that she was never going to change my mind but she still came. I must have really fucked her off at times, even questioning why she thought her God was a male figure, when at the point of conception we all have only female genes.
Yeah, but why..? Could it be she's been totally disempowered by all the psycho-babble that is faith..? Head maybe done it by it..? Perhaps she really was glad to see a friend..?jo wrote:About five years ago I attended her church at easter, just to let her know that despite our different opinions I respect her and admire her determination. I saw it meant a lot to her.
I tried to find the joys of being a female but failed and became a Nun. I was never accepted. Mother Superior frequently tugged my beard and pinched my arse..! She made me wear crotchless PVC and licked her lips a lot...jo wrote:I was brought up Church of England and sent to a Catholic School. I had to fight most of my way through school because of this (being a ?proddy?dog). I spent two 1/2 years in a convent school and until I found the joy's of being a female I wanted to be a Nun, probably just to be accepted.
We got corned beef sandwiches...jo wrote:I never questioned how or why people had faith until then. We had years of church members coming to visit our home and I was fed bullshit.
Don't say it loudly. George 'n' Tony will tax it and drill us for essential resources..!jo wrote:I do believe that unspent energy remains after death.
It's off apparently. Someone said God got blootered on fine scotch and drew a cartoon of Mohammed with his lad out. Mohammed's crowd said this was normal practice for their deity at rehearsal weddings. God's granny smirked and sniggered at Mohammed's lad and the church got burned to the ground. Last I heard Vishnu was knobbin' Allah and God had her first lesbian encounter...jo wrote:If God and Mohammed get married don't bother informing me unless there is gonna be a piss up.
I'll never work religion out...
