A explanation and a … rant?

28 Aug

So, I kinda got a little frustrated with the WordPress upgrade not happening for over a month, despite trying nearly every day.  I even did the “work-around” to get the upgrade folder to do it’s thing automatically, but that wasn’t so great, either.  Finally, I just blew it all away, and for whatever reason, Fantastico decided that I didn’t need the database either, even though I tried to tell it that I did.

Now what we’re left with is an import that I finally got to work from my LiveJournal account.  Holy crap, can you believe that I’ve been using LJ since January of 2005?  Yeah… I’m deleting a lot of stuff.  ”Pruning”, it’s called.

And now for the rant…

wait… not really.  I just realized that things that bother me are not things that can be discussed in public because they involve words that make some people blush.  Why would I shy away from things like that, you might ask?  No, I’m not mellowing in my old age.  I just like saving the ZING for the right moment.  ”Never let them see you coming!”

A story of an after-life

16 May

Once upon a time, there was an enormous mountain, and at the foot of the mountain were several cities.  The children of the mountain were taught about the city that they were meant to dwell in, and when the time came, they would go to their cities and make their way to the gates of Heaven.

Among the children, there was a young man named Tim, and Tim had a problem.  He had slept all the way through his childhood lessons, so he had no idea how to get to Heaven, or even to which city he belonged.

As he watched the other students going about their business, he tried to follow some of them so that he might figure out where Heaven might be – because that was the goal, after all, of life.  (Or that’s what he thought, since he really had been asleep for most of it.)

God is not an a-hole, part 1

10 May

I’m not really sure how many parts there are going to be for this, but I figured we’d start here.  I’ve been threatening to share this for a while.  Many of you may already be familiar, but I’m sure seeing it in print will help.

If we go by the literal word of certain holy texts, God is an a-hole.  He’s a controlling jerk-wad with serious possessiveness issues, a mean sadistic streak (not redundant), frankly seems to also suffer from MPD and “honesty issues”.

If we’re supposed to subscribe to a God like that, do you really think this is going to bring the world to a place of love and peace and understanding?  ”Love me or I’ll smite you” doesn’t result in love; it only creates fear and ultimately resentment.

No, the literal translation of some parts of holy texts cannot possibly support the idea that God cares for us in any way, so there’s obviously another interpretation.

(The Old Testament is notorious for allegory and parable.  If you try to read most of it literally, you’re going to break your brain.)

Come along with me on this one:
