"Jesus is my crush" |
http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2003/10/09/revolve/index_np.html
What would Jesus do about clogged pores? It's a topic on which the Bible is
mute. Unless the Bible being consulted is Revolve, which dresses up the New
Testament to look and read exactly like a teen magazine -- complete with
cover lines that promise much more than the Good News inside. "Guys Speak
Out on Tons of Important Issues," declares one, hinting that the guys
holding forth aren't Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Others offer "100+ Ways
to Apply Your Faith" and "Beauty Secrets You've Never Heard Before!"
That's for sure. "As you apply your sunscreen," one reads, "use that time
to talk to God. Tell him how grateful you are for how he made you. Soon,
you'll be so used to talking to him, it might become as regular and
intimate as shrinking your pores." And what exactly are those
aforementioned guys speaking out on? Comportment. They like girls who dress
conservatively, wear as little makeup as possible, and don't overreact if
they don't notice a new haircut. Thinking of asking a guy out? Revolve
girls don't. "Sorry," they're told. "God made guys to be the leaders. That
means that they lead in relationships. They tell you they like you." If you
need distraction from that total bummer, there are charts ranking the "top
ten random things" you can do to make a difference in your community or
bond with your dad. Or calendar pages that designate celebrity birthdays as
occasions to Pray for a Person of Influence. (Kelly Osbourne and Anna
Nicole Smith, junior varsity prayer warriors have got your back.) As well
as quizzes that pose such questions as "Are You Crushing Too Hard?" and
"Are You a Good Daughter?"
===
Unfortunately the full article isn't openly available online, but you can
read the whole thing for free if you watch an ad. I especially like this
part:
"'I can't imagine another faith that would do this to its sacred text,' he
says. 'You would never see this in Islam, which views the Koran as
completely sacred. You do want people to be comfortable with the Bible, but
it's not the same as Teen People. It takes study. It takes diligence. I'm
worried that kids are going to think, 'I get it. The Bible is all about me
and my life in middle school.'"
I suspect this magazine is just going to provide one more excuse for
Christians not to read the actual text of the Bible, and discover for
themselves what kind of god they worship...

Oh yes, I always to talk god when applying my sunscreen (which I now do daily).
"Oh thank you, lord, for giving me skin cancer. I am so grateful". Phooey! ;p

Sorry about the sunscreen, btw. It's got to be a drag. :(

Ah, no biggee really. Better safe than sorry - and at least my scar from the
surgery I had over the summer is almost gone ;)
However, I would REALLY like to this god for allowing a friend of mine to trip
down the stairs to his apartment Saturday night, also allowing him to land in
such a manner that he broke his neck and died. Was lovely news to get over
lunch yesterday afternoon. Thanks a load, lord, for killing one of the nicest
guys on the planet :(

Jeez, aren't you a ray of sunshine (bad pun, sorry) today. I notice
you left the verb out of your first sentence above. Is this some sort
of mad-lib.
Here's my pick: bludgeon

Jesus is my crush.

LOL, thanks for the chuckle - I definitely needed that ;)
Actually I believe the word I meant to type was a very sarcastic "thank". It is
a MAJOR bummer though - this was definitely the nicest guy you'd ever want to
meet - and only 32 years old. I remember once being out with him and a bunch of
other people and telling him, "Hon, if I was single and ten years younger, I'd
tumble for ya". <Sigh> I'm glad I was home with the witchling today - I heard
from my two girlfriends that I work with that the entire office was in emotional
shambles. And I'm REALLY not looking forward to going to the wake and funeral
later this week - I don't want do cry again like I did last night. It's such a
senseless tragedy :(

I'm sorry to hear about it. The fragility of life always staggers me.
It seems so robust on its face.

Well said, very well said. You wouldn't think that tripping down a flight of
stairs could kill a person, but sadly, I now know otherwise. I'm not looking
foward to going to the funeral home this evening (especially since it's open
casket), but respects must be paid to his wonderful family :(

We did just get a bit more information. Apparently one of his ankles was
broken, so he definitely must have tripped. They believe what killed him was
massive brain swelling (not a broken neck as originally surmised) when he hit
his head when he landed. Thankfully it was quick and he didn't suffer, but it's
still simply terrible. Good thing I wore my waterproof mascara today - I'm going
to need it <sigh>

That can occur after a head injury. Personality changes can occur as
well.

Shoot, I wish all that happened was a personality change - Instead it had to be
death at the age of 33 :(

to need it <sigh>
That can occur after a head injury. Personality changes can occur as
well.
Shoot, I wish all that happened was a personality change - Instead it had to be
death at the age of 33 :(
The item I survived happened when I was 28.

That's for sure. "As you apply your sunscreen," one reads, "use that time
to talk to God. Tell him how grateful you are for how he made you.
Oh yes, I always to talk god when applying my sunscreen (which I now do daily).
"Oh thank you, lord, for giving me skin cancer. I am so grateful". Phooey! ;p
Or "Thank you, Lord, for designing a creature, in your infinite
wisdom, to live in an environment where it is bombarded daily by UV
radiation but not building into it the necessary protection against
said radiation."
Sorry about the sunscreen, btw. It's got to be a drag. :(
Ah, no biggee really. Better safe than sorry - and at least my scar from the
surgery I had over the summer is almost gone ;)
However, I would REALLY like to this god for allowing a friend of mine to trip
down the stairs to his apartment Saturday night, also allowing him to land in
such a manner that he broke his neck and died. Was lovely news to get over
lunch yesterday afternoon. Thanks a load, lord, for killing one of the nicest
guys on the planet :(

You too, huh? Melanoma? I got one removed last month. Now that they
found out what it was, they'll remove a bigger patch of skin around
the original scar. 3x9 centimeters total gone from the neck. It's like
getting a face lift! And yes, I too thank every god constantly because
I have to use SPF 30, wear long sleeves in the hottest weather, and
always a wide-brimmed hat. I'm the most handsome guy on the block and
I can't step out the front door without going through the bloody
sun-dance.

Ouch!! Mine was on the left side of my face. It looked pretty gruesome for the
first couple of days - now you can barely see the scar. Are you getting this
done by a plastic surgeon?

Ah well, you were lucky after all, relatively speaking... Melanoma is
a nasty little *****. I'll never be allowed to donate blood
now--ever. Sucks.

No, I *want* the scar! No, just kidding. The guy is a general surgeon
though, and specializes in limb salvage surgery. Good thing he is one,
I think, if the head counts as a limb.

The ancient Turks were sun-worshippers too, you know. Thought I would

are a group of Turks who made it all the way across. My grandfather
himself was among those Pan-Turkists...

Right. And I know the next steps in this discussion too:
Me: if allah is omnipotent and omnibenevolent, how come there is evil?
Fd: this is the price you pay for free will. Allah in his benevolence
gave you free will. You have the option to choose evil.
Me: how the ***** does people possessing free will cause me to get skin
cancer? Not just any skin cancer, but the bad boy of skin cancers to
boot?
I forget what comes next.

Fd: this is the price you pay for free will. Allah in his benevolence
gave you free will. You have the option to choose evil.
Me: how the ***** does people possessing free will cause me to get skin
cancer? Not just any skin cancer, but the bad boy of skin cancers to
boot?
I forget what comes next.
I think it is that this point that you are condemned to hellfire or
something like that...
Stop thinking so much, allahdammit.

Oh, that's right, I forgot. Thinking is the most grievous sin of all.
Perhaps the *only* sin that is never forgiven.

That's for sure. "As you apply your sunscreen," one reads, "use that time
to talk to God. Tell him how grateful you are for how he made you.

The ancient Turks were sun-worshippers too, you know.
With or without sun block? (eyes tease)
without of course. That's why I got the bloody melanoma, isn't it?
Depends....(big grin)

Or possibly the will of 'Allah.'.......
