Random Thoughts II

In God We Trust is what we print on our money. It tells you a lot about what people think about God. It tells you a lot about what people think about money.

It tells you a lot about how seriously people take the things Jesus supposedly said. You cannot serve God and money.

Jesus, hold my beer.

The first thing I thought when I learned about the concept of global warming was that Christians would never believe it. God promised not to flood the world and kill everyone (again). We’ve got nothing to worry about.

Plus, there’s too much God to be lost if we stop depending on fossil fuels, so . . . if God wanted us to cut back on spending, He wouldn’t have killed all those dinosaurs and made us trust Him so much.

There exist grown up men who are talking about how much they don’t like a movie, and that movie is about Barbie. The doll. This is a thing that has been happening for a week.

I understand Christians are not a monolith. The set of people who stand under the Christian umbrella is a pretty diverse group. I wish more of them would understand how diverse that group is and how large a percentage of the threats their faith faces are right there under the umbrella.

If you have to tell people they’ll go to hell if they don’t follow you, you can’t possibly be worth following.

Queer Eye is a show where five guys do fairly normal things—things normal people either can do or could ask their friends to do—and change someone’s life in a week.

If only we realized we all just might be five days and five nosy, pushy friends away from a better life.

If we could travel 300 years back in time or forward in time, pretty much everyone we meet would freak us the hell out, and we’d have the same effect on them . . . but we would have no trouble whatsoever understanding why. Guaranteed. So how does it make any sense whatsoever to get freaked out by people we meet today who are different from us?

It’s difficult writing these days. I appreciate your patience and your support.
