nowadays it seems you can tell a lot about a person just by looking at their car. You know with all the bumper stickers and decals and what not. I mean well... you can tell car lovers by the kind of car, and how well the car is taken care of. You can tell if someone has lots of money or not by how expensive and new the car is (etc). Lots of people have those silver emblems that depict whether they believe in god or not. Which brings met to the next thing. It's Sunday and so clearly many church goers were out at about this morning/afternoon as i was driving home from Target. So of course I found a car with a christian fish on it. And then I looked a little closer. Now many people also have personalized license plates and license plate borders (some other things that may help you understand a person just by looking at their car). Now, this is what i read on the license plate border of this car:
"Next time you think you're perfect, try walking on water"
ummmm... someone want to tell me what exactly that is supposed to mean?
yeah i'll leave it at that. i have to think about it a little more myself.

When I was in Germany, a group of australian exchange student girlfriends and I wandered into a huge adult toy shop for a bit of a laugh. We bumped into this American uber Christian guy from our tour bus who'd been dragged in there by some horny Canadian friends of his (from the same tour obviously). He'd tried as hard as he could to find ONE THING in the store that he could buy as a souvenir that wasn't completely smutty. In the end he found a badge perfect for our rotary jackets (we'd decorate them with pins). It was a small fish badge. He thought it was perfect for reflecting his Christian values in the face of pornography.
A week later, after wearing it with pride, an inquisitive Canadian looked at the back of it and noted that it was the astrological sign for homosexuality. His Christian symbol fish was a gay pride badge.
No wonder it was rainbow coloured.
And the walking on water thing mean's no one's perfect. They obviously believe only Jesus was perfect enough not to fall in the drink sometimes. Whether you believe in Jesus or not it's a good sentiment. No one's perfect!
i totally believe that no one is perfect. I kind of hate the word. 'Perfect'. Part of me believes that Jesus wasn't perfect either. Whether or not I believe in him as God's son. Even when I was more of a church goer and more of a believer in Christianity and all that I thought maybe he had some faults. He of course was human. I found it comforting to talk about Jesus as a human. I think it made me feel better realizing that he was the same as us even though he is so highly regarded and did such amazing things and was thought of as perfect because he was God's son and and all. But i really think that maybe there are parts to Jesus that we just don't know> Clearly there are I mean it was humans that wrote the Bible, there are bound to be some faults in the story telling.
Absolutely. No one ever asks if the wine he makes is any good; and did all of the five thousand even *feel* like fish? These are the questions the gospels so conveniently overlook...
I have a feeling that somewhere in the gospels it says that Jesus wasn't much of a spunk, either.
