the Book of Proverbs

Jan 28, 2005 12:03

As if it needs to be said, I rarely read the Bible. Gah. My grandma begs, implores, entreats and just about bullies me into reading at least a verse a day, she says. C'moooonnn, read it. Look, I've bookmarked it for you. I say, okay, leave it there. I'll read it. Soon. After I finish reading this ( Read more... )

Read the Old Testament- especially if you can find a copy with the Rabbinaical commentary.

okay. i'll keep that in mind. but i'm taking baby steps. :P

I always thought my parents were remarkably unhip, and though well educated, not a tenth as well-read as I.

same. and yet you're right, my parents and grandparents have taught me a lot of things about life and i'm just at that point where i'm beginning to appreciate them.

Here's a good reason to shy away from God:

If he does exist, it's my firm belief that he's a lot like me, cruel, somewhat sadistic, and finds great amusement in the suffering and stupidity of others.

How else would you explain the state of the world?

:b

hehe. ye of little faith. he does exist. how else can a magnificent and unique creature like you exist if not for an all-powerful being like Him? :P

It is the ignorance of youth, of humanity ( ... )

Oh shut up. You got banned in my LJ and decided LJ was worthless.

michcapish January 29 2005, 09:54:10 UTC

hehe. oh noooo. ouch. :P oh well, can he get re-instated?

michcapish January 29 2005, 09:57:57 UTC

thank you for this thoughtful comment. i am learning some things from you. :)

as for LJ, you should stick to your original premise of using it as a medium for your writing. you're an excellent writer.

One of the reasons why I gave up on being Roman Catholic was that I just couldn't find the wisdom in priests taking a vow of celibacy and then secretly tolerating each other's dalliances. Why should any "good" man be celibate anyway? Sex isn't evil. We say it's God-given but we think of purity in terms of being celibate. I think you couldn't get any purer than when you share your body with someone you love.

i completely agree. however, i haven't given up on it just yet. i'm still at the re-evaluation phase.
