Life Is An Argument

[zionchild]

Here's the Question Of The Day: Do you put the story first, or the moral? On one hand, I like the idea of putting the story first because it gives you some background to whatever conclusion I might have come to. On the other hand, perhaps you shouldn't have to read through a bunch of anecdotal garbage to get to the point of what I'm saying

On an actually unrelated note, I think I'll be in town on Monday night. Think, of course, being the key word in this sentence. I'll keep you posted.

[zionchild]

Yeah, I'll leave a light on.

What kind of beer is it? I'm not going to America-land if it's bad beer.

[zionchild]

Let's see...currently, we have:
- Bell's Oberon
- Guinness
- Woodchuck Cider
- Mike's Hard Lemonade (4 varieties)
- some indie ale
- some English Guinness ripoff
- Bard's Tale Ale, whatever that is
- A 7-11 within walking distance

I guess you're coming to America-land. Hope you gots $1200 airfare.

lolololol

xD

I'd love to. Stupid moneys. :(

[zionchild]

Wish there was some way to meet in the middle or...I dunno, something. Kate and I were planning on going camping this summer. I bet you and Luke would be a blast on a camping trip.

So, does this mean that you're not ACTUALLY disgusted and repulsed by my overtly-spiritually-whacked-out-posts? Could it be that your objections are merely the product of an idiot-savant learning style?

I'm totally coming over for a beer soon, either way. Provided, of course, that you're not actually repulsed... :)

[zionchild]

I haven't been disgusted or repulsed by anything you've said so far. I don't "buy" a lot of it, but that doesn't really matter.

I guess, as far as spiritual things, I would ideally argue very little. I can make little arguments based on what makes sense to me or not, but the only thing that really matters is what I see coming out of it. I don't really care if someone thinks they can commune with duck eggs, as long as it changes them for the better, makes them calmer, more socially conscious, or whatever.

Note "what *I see* coming out of it" - I spent way too many church meetings listening to people proclaiming "heart changes" to believe what people tell me, unless I can see some evidence of it for myself. I'd probably only recognize that in someone I'm very familiar with, anyway.

But yeah, come over for a beer sometime.

[telsh7]

Nope, no "heart changes" here. More peace, less angst, slight increase in insecurity as I plod unchartered waters, wondering if God's okay with me making mistakes. Fundie Christians thump ceaselessly about how they have it all figured out but can't seem to answer my most basic of questions.

I think it was the Buddha that said, before I became enlightened, the mountain was just a mountain. In the midst of becoming enlightened, the mountain was more than just a mountain. After I became enlightened, the mountain was just a mountain. Well, I'm in the middle stage right now. I'm sure I will be for many more lives, if you believe in that sort of thing. I'm starting to wonder if Jesus was really as against the idea of reincarnation as they told me in Sunday School. I must reread the gospels.

[luthersavage]

I have had beers with you and am not on your premium list. Creosus is a whore.

[zionchild]

There's no premium list. You have beers in person, you ask about stories. The end. :P

[luthersavage]

so you're actually trying to say that I haven't had a beer with you in person?

[luthersavage]

Hi my name is Luke and I'm a retard

I just now read this correctly and understand

Please disregard all previous idiocy
