From an IM conversation

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Sometimes my mind does strange things – this is from an im converstaion a few minutes ago.

-you’ve got to break an egg to make a chicken that will lay more eggs
-why did the baby cross the road?
-it was stapled to the egg that came after the chicken
-wait
-okay, so there’s this chicken, and there’s an egg next to it
-they add up to 30 cents, and one of them is not the lesser evil
-which one is worth two in the bush?

Early Morning Can’t-Fall-Back-Asleep Thoughts

The Good Book says “Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved,” right?

No mention of believing that religious texts are 100% literally word-for-word from the mouth of God.

Sidebar: Shouldn’t 100% literalists be concerned about using the original Greek words for “Jesus is Lord,” since that’s what the text actually says word-for-word?
