Dogs barking

Wandering around McCormick place today, hours and hours of standing on concrete has left my feet feeling like they’d rather be attached to someone smaller. Don’t blame them.

other news, Foie Gras is now illegal in Chicago. I will be picking some up from my favorite Indiana restaurant and bringing it with me.

Tards.

How to be a Christian

Maybe people are having trouble with this, but here’s a pretty simple guide that should keep you out of too much trouble:

Do what Jesus suggested you do. Avoid the things he said to avoid.

I know, I know, it’s simplistic, but it will pretty much do. See, here’s the thing: Anything anyone else tells you you shoul;d be doing to be a Christian? they are fucked. As I tried to explain to dinglefuck a few posts down, the “church’s magisterium” is a bunch of rules written by a bunch of guys who point to a couple of segments of scripture, and quote them as a reason they should be telling you what to do. The more humans get involved, the more fucked the whole deal is. Read the bible. New testament, particularly, paying close attention to the four gospels.

Is the bible the absolute word of God? Well, hell, I have no idea. Here’s what I do know: If you pay attention to what Christ says, and pattern your behavior after his, you will probably do no harm.

Anything written by man claiming to be divinely inspired is suspect.

Hits just keep coming

I see looking at the hit counter that I will be crossing over that 100,000 mark soon. Thanks to all of you who have come and stayed. I hope I have the chance to thank each and every one of you in person, someday. May life bring you the enjoyment you have brought me by visiting, and commenting, here.
