Oh by the way, folks, My more serious diary: |
Today we make fun of Muslims for getting themselves all divided up between Sunni and Shia because of some ancient 7-th century spat. But lest we get too hasty, lets turn the mirror to ourselves! Christians have been getting ourselves divided up lots worse than that for lots longer! Hey, they oughta take lessons from us! First, Tin Pot Tyrant (fatuously styled "Emperor") Constantine had to convene the Council Of Nicea in 325 AD to resolve a buncha trivial issues, which never really got fully resolved. Then there arose a fuss over whether the Holy Spirit proceeded from the Father and the Son or only the Father but not the Son. Then another fuss over whether the Substances of the Father and the Son were the same, alike, similar, equal, or different. Then another fuss as to whether the Bishop of Rome was the supreme ruler that all other bishops oughta kowtow to. Then some dude named Martin Luther got hit by lightning, thus rendering him mentally incompetent, so he invented his 95 Theses of Trivial Nonsense. Then some fat slob named King Henry VIII got into a fuss about whether the Pope oughta be able to prevent his divorce from his perfectly nice queen that he was getting tired of, so another denomination broke off. And more and more denominations kept breaking off for ever more trivial reasons. Hey, the Muslims are rank amateurs compared to Christians! Well anyhow, yesterday's sky-zombie hallucination orgy was the normal crashing bore. Then in the afternoon I spent about an hour and a half with Chadwick the Chainsaw chopping up 5 wheelbarrows fulla free giveaway firewood. And so today looks like it's gonna be a great day to chop up some more twigs for the compost box, and possibly a few more bits of free giveaway firewood. Happy Twig Chopping! OrneryPest |
