Theological Thwartings

Wow, I am so blessed. Recently, I have been having issues of faith. Well, I wouldn't be Jenny if I wasn't having a issue of faith. But, I've made a friend here at school, who is generous and lovely, but an evangelical Christian. And I just can't keep my mouth shut. Well, he got me the other day. I was sent into this spiral of 'wow, I'm really

Three things;

a) Boo-yah for continuing to fight the good fight for your faith (in your own heart). I've been having my own this past year(s) and would really enjoy more conversations re: that when you return from tea-land (which I hope is soon)... seriously, start your own denomination. It'd rock. Salisburianism. I'd join up.

b) The Yoda to your angry young Skywalker sentence made me grin from ear to ear. Seriously.

c) When he was in art college, my Dad played the character who ends up being the killer in a production of The Mousetrap. During the show she saw, my grandmother stormed out of the theatre raving "that's not my son!". This was hilarious, in hindsight. *shakes head* Hilarious.

Hope to see you soon, doll. You're the bestest.

"But, I've made a friend here at school, who is generous and lovely, but an evangelical Christian. And I just can't keep my mouth shut."

In my experience it's the evangelicals who seem to have the trouble with keeping their mouths shut.

not in my case, 'annoymous'. I get so excited about debating faith and worship, that I jump at an opportunity, usually to my detrement. Though, truth be told, he totally starts it.

Evangelicals always start it. From the crusades, to the inquisition to the war in Iraq. They are almost universal at fault.

speaking of my hatered for evangelicals did you get my email on the subject?

NOW I know who you are. Yes I did, it was brilliant! Thank you.

Would you believe I've never seen The Mousetrap? Clearly this situation must be rectified.

Turns out that JC and I are still in kahuts, against the strict, conservative religious right. He's totally the Yoda to my angry young skywalker.

You go, girl!

I found Jesus, he was in my other pants!

I second your friend Molly. Christianity needs more people like you who aren't afraid to question their faith or embrace different interpretations.

Christianity needs more people like you. Keep the faith! (Ha! I can have double meanings too!)
