if it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be fused then it can be split
it's all under control
if it can be lost then it can be won, if it can be touched then it can be turned
all you need is time

we promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?a sense of purpose and a sense of skill, a sense of function but a disregard

"to whomever read this, thank you for allowing my thoughts to mingle with your own."
maybe its just cause i've been listening to him all day, but that sounds like something Dane Cook would say.

anywho, you need a job? you know there's a club chuck in t-town right?

[legato_13]

They don't pay worth crap though.

[duffman1004]

really? thats too bad. it must not be very profitable. i'm gettin' payed 7 bucks an hour at the one in vestavia, so. oh well. i'm sure there are other fun places to work besides chuck e cheese.

[actionjaxon]

oh yeah.

haha, i remember when your desperate ass worked there.
how long did it last? like a week?

thank you for allowing my thoughts to mingle with your own. have a happy day. :)

I like this sentiment. :) There should be more of it in the world.

"Things that Make Jesus Angry." Heh. It's kind of funny, I seem to recall that Jesus' only recorded anger towards anyone was directed at a group of people that built temples, had gotten cozy with the government, made ostentatious displays of self-righteousness in public, and thought very highly of themselves and very little of others. Maybe the sign was referring to that. I mean, it's not like people talking about Jesus have conveniently forgotten what he taught, right? ....right? *clears throat*

the other night i looked into the mirror and for the first time i noticed age.
Two years ago I started finding the face in the mirror unrecognizable. I'd look at pictures just taken and ask "that can't be me, can it? Now it's the old pictures that seem unrecognizable. It's weird on both ends of the experience.

[actionjaxon]

you just named out the things you remember making Jesus angry, and this is why i find it amusing that there is going to be a CLASS for it. i mean, what are they going to say?! "DON'T PAY YOUR TAXES IN THE CHURCH!"? part of me really wants to go, but i know if i do i'd go in there with a mind to play the devil's advocate.

i mean, what can truly make Jesus angry, besides the Devil. the Devil is the root of all evil, no? it was he who tempted humans in the garden of Eden. and furthermore, if God is all powerful and loving, why isn't the Devil gone? therefore i've come to the conclusion that nothing makes Jesus/God "angry" except himself, since he has the power to obliterate evil. did he not create the universe? could it not be said, then, that he created the things that make him angry? [hello. he created lucifer.]
but we humans need to be careful not to make the [Christian] God of the universe angry?!?

that's like me having the power to end wars or hate crimes but telling people not to do it... because it will make me angryi mean come

[rearchetyped]

It's a really dumb idea for a class, definitely. I try to refrain from making assumptions, but given an extensive *blech* history in Southern churches, it'd probably be safe to say that it'll wind up being... well, like the comment below me. It makes me so angry all the time knowing that a message whose intent was focused on getting individuals to examine their own attitudes and beliefs is being used every day to bash other people

[actionjaxon]

you say you don't have the answer to a lot of these questions, but, does that not mean something to you?

part of why i consider myself agnostic now is because i always had these questions and the answer was always "i don't know why" or "you just have to keep faith".
for something as big as God and life and death, i could never settle on "i don't know".

that's when monolithic religion stoppped making sense to me. there were too many holes. i don't believe that i was ever given free will. it's something that i have had since i was born, and you too, simply by existing. why does some god-head deity get the credit for my own freedom of choice? he gave it to me because he "loves" me? what does that even mean, and how can i be sure of that, since clearly there is only one choice for me to make

[temp0_260]

Im sure the pamphlet outlining the service read something like:
THINGS THAT MAKE JESUS ANGRY:
1.Homosexuals
2.Abortion
3.Cloning
4.Stem Cell Research
5.Getting Cut off in traffic
6.Mistakingly putting something red in with a laundry load of whites.
