jesus and the beanstalk
This is what I'm doing tonight:
Come hear a first hand account of a Canadian journalist (Scott Taylor) who was taken hostage in Iraq. Since August 2000, Taylor has made a total of 20 trips into Iraq to report on the effects of the UN sanctions, the ravages of depleted uranium following the 1991 Gulf War, and the heightening tensions with the United States. Since the beginning of the occupation of US forces in Iraq, Taylor has returned frequently to Iraq to view first-hand the ongoing humanitarian crisis plaguing this still embattled country. As a former Canadian solider / peacekeeper, Scott has the unusual ability to get the truth out of soliders currently serving in the military. The stories that he has to share are at times shocking and sometimes heartwarming. Do yourself a favour and get the story straight from the horse's mouth. I think that most of us are tired of the mainstream media crap.Should be interesting, we'll see. All I know is that a $5 event that includes food is enough to warm my Dutch heart. ;)

If you're wondering about this entry's title, sometimes Chris and I like to re-tell fairy tales... but with Jesus as the main character. Jesus and the Beanstalk was pretty funny, and the moral of the new version is "There is no God, but there is a Hell." Chris has also graced me with a new version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, now titled GoldiJesus (fitting name for a Jew, yes) and the Three Whores. Its moral was more about avoiding STI-filled whorehouses, and had charming lines like "The first whore was toooooooo big, the second whore was toooooo small, but the third whore was just right." Spoiler: Jesus ends up returning to the 'just right' whore every day for his remaining four years on earth before dying of a horrible sexually transmitted disease.
Ahh, there's nothing better than boys with heretical senses of humour. :)

I'm just right.

You've left your faith? How sad...I'm not being sarcastic. I really am sad. Not only have you left it, you're also ridiculing it now...that I find pathetic. You know the good book says "Evil company corrupts good habits". I guess that's what happened to you. You were surrounded by bad company and you caved in. Some are stronger than others...some make it, some don't. I do feel sorry for you. When I read your post I noticed that you had a hard time the first year with your "deconversion" and that you feel much better now. I guess the challenge of walking on that narrow path was too great...especially now that you're at the great utopia that is York. I feel it too sometimes...I won't lie. But what can I say? I guess I'm too stubborn.. maybe I'm just a bigot. Yeah that must be it. A redneck, hillbilly bigot. Maybe I'm a fool for believing in something absolute. Black or White. Right or wrong. Sounds too easy.. I guess it is. But then again... you left it.
