It’s fine to be skeptical, Christopher — afterall, Doubting Thomas was an apostle. He then became Thomas the Believer.
I think all organized religions have aspects that are factually incorrect or may be embellished to attract or retain the participants. It is the nature of a human organization — think of it as marketing…
Christopher the Pyro mentioned
Interesting you should mention that about Thomas.. I read a FANTASTIC book about Thomas.. damn… the… Didymus Contingency
Christine the Lioness asserted
I agree that all human organizations are inherently flawed because something that is imperfect cannot create something that is perfect. Which is why I don’t understand how people can take the Bible at its word. The Bible was written by a collection of people. It is therefore, inherently imperfect.
ProphetJoe the Irreverent chimed in with
Well… the idea is that God actually “wrote” the words through these humans. That being said, I don’t know why he didn’t write them in stone like the Ten Commandments.
ProphetJoe the Irreverent asserted
“Who in the world is knocking at my door at 6pm… Christine? Nah… she doesn’t just show up…”
So what kind of relationship do you two have? When my bride and I were dating, we pretty much spent all of our time together when we weren’t at work (well, actually, we worked together for almost a year, but in separate departments, so we didn’t fraternize at work). I’m just curious. I thought you two had each others’ keys and spent most evenings together playing GH3 and having wild sex…
Hmm, haven’t heard much from TtP lately. he must be back in the doghouse — I’ve heard he has a poor wireless internet connection from there. 
Christopher the Pyro chimed in with
PJ,
Thanks.
I’m already on her shit list anyway mostly because she wants to date someone just like you PJ.
Christine the Lioness hunt n' pecked this
Oh PJ… you really don’t want to open that can of worms. This has been a major source of contension between christopher and I for quite some time now and quite frankly, I’m getting close to the end.
We’ve been together 3 1/2 years now and Christopher refuses to give me a key to his place– he needs “his own space.” And he rarely invites me over there– I’ve been over there 3 times in the last five months.
On top of that, I’m not allowed to be in the apartment when he’s not there, so when I do stay over, he wakes me up and kicks me out in the morning before he leaves for work at 6 AM instead of letting me sleep in and let myself out.
Most people in relationships that I know do spend evenings together, have each others’ keys, and don’t have these bizarre rules (I’m not allowed to drop by if I don’t call and tell him first). On top of him not inviting me to stay overnight at his house, he stays over at my house only about once every 2 weeks.
To be honest, I’ve brought this up many, many times. How I want our relationship to be different– I want to wake up with him and fall asleep with him, I don’t want to feel “unwelcome” at his house (his neighbor can drop by without calling first but I’m not allowed to). It always makes me feel like he’s hiding stuff from me or just doesn’t love me enough to be “that” close to me.
Not that Christopher doesn’t do amazing things… he does. But they aren’t really a substitute for truly sharing all aspects of your life with someone. So what kind of relationship do we have?
I wish I knew the answer.
Christine the Lioness spake, and sayeth
It’s not that I want to date someone “Just like PJ.” But come on… people do give their significant others the key to their place (especially if it’s been almost 4 years). Every time I bring this up, he just shuts it down and tells me that he doesn’t care what other people think or what other people do.
In my opinion, there are only two reasons he “needs his space.” Either he doesn’t trust me, or he has something to hide. And quite frankly, this aspect of him not letting me really be a part of his entire life has pushed me away to the point that I am not even sure we will recover.
His pat answer is always “If you’re in this relationship for some pay-off, then you shouldn’t be.” I don’t think giving each other a key, or moving in together, or actually falling asleep (instead of darting out after sex), or marriage is a pay off. I don’t think I’m wrong to want it or expect that a relationship I’m in should be going in that direction. Those are all the things you do when you truly love someone and let them into your life completely. And if you’re not willing to do those things, then you can’t expect the person to “just know they’re loved.”
Christopher the Pyro stated
I do not care to discuss this on the blog. Sorry Guys.
Christine the Lioness scribbled
Since you won’t discuss it in person either, I’m not surprised.

When someone shows me an [fairly] infallible system, I will convert to it… That goes for religions AND relationships… Until then, I subscribe to the church of the Waitress Ogling Heineken and Vodka Martini Drinking Girlfriend Avoiding Latter Day Doghouse Partying Brethren Idiots of the What-the-hell-did-I-do-to-piss-her-off-this-time Saints…
I’m here PJ, and not in the proverbial doghouse anymore… I got ‘reviewed’ by another [obviously more popular than I originally thought when I told the chick who volunteered them to do the review to ‘knock herself out…’] website… So I have been literally inundated with like 5 or 6 EXTRA visitors today, so I had to write them a ‘thank you’ post, which took me like 2 hours ’cause I type so slow… {e.g. time to type this comment *14 minutes…}
Christopher the Pyro added
Are you the leader of Vodka Martini Drinking Girlfriend Avoiding Latter Day Doghouse Partying Brethren Idiots of the What-the-hell-did-I-do-to-piss-her-off-this-time Saints… if so where is an application and a donation form.
Christine the Lioness quibbed this
I thought you were, Chris.
Mara the Peacemaker commented
What did I miss while ensconced in bar hell? Chris playing with the Mormons…
ProphetJoe the Irreverent got all philosophical
Hi Trouble! What’s new??
As you might have gathered, I seemed to spark a number of comments today 
ProphetJoe the Irreverent asserted
Hi Mara,
We could use a Peacemaker right now — I ‘m just not sure if the situation calls for a Mother Theresa-type of Peacemaker to counsel Christine (I obviously touched a raw nerve) or the Samuel Colt-type Peacemaker to silence the likes of me!
Don’t fight, please, unless the make-up sex is REALLY incredible.
Christine the Lioness penned this
I don’t think there’s going to be any make up sex. He’s not even talking to me right now.
ProphetJoe the Irreverent mentioned
Trouble,
With just 2 more comments, you’ll pass Keith on the list! So, why don’t you tell us about your latest epidermal etchings! How much did that cost you?
ProphetJoe the Irreverent up'n wrote this
“I don’t think there’s going to be any make up sex. He’s not even talking to me right now.”
Sorry… I blame myself for your vaginal dryness tonight.
[NO — Trouble — don’t even say it.]
Christine the Lioness uttered
It has nothing to do with you, PJ. Trust me.

I’ve been acquainted with Ben [no, not in THAT way] the artist for many years now, I pay KY$100 [US$125] per hour. The picture on my site is 1 1/2 hours of work in progress on my left sleeve. It is all ‘free-hand’ work in an Asian style, wind swirls, cherry blossoms, and insects…
The plan is to continue across the top part of my back, morphing into Asian style water, lotus blossoms, and koi, and into my right sleeve. I have a large dragon on my back, and the wind/water theme will encompass that also, along with the names of my 3 boys in Kanji [Asian calligraphy]… Their names will be under each of the Dragon’s 3 feet [as the Dragon is a symbol of ‘protection]
Then I’ll get “Welcome to the Cayman Islands, we hope you enjoy your stay, thank you for choosing this destination, and have a pleasant day” tattoo’d on my penis…
Mara the Peacemaker mentioned
OUCH, Trouble!
Christine the Lioness thought this
I’m just curious… in what size font?
Mara the Peacemaker penned this
Good question. That is a lot of writing…
Mara the Peacemaker thought this
As usual, the most pressing thing on my mind is lunch. I’m considering Chipotle.
ProphetJoe the Irreverent hunt n' pecked this
I think it is rather obvious that Trouble would need the font size to be 69…
Trouble the Pirate spake, and sayeth
…I never said it was all going to be on one line…
Trouble the Pirate added
There PJ… I have overtaken Keith on the Top commenters list, now proximity-wise I am right up your ass… Hope you’re happy… I can’t help but feel a little guilt about passing-over Keith when he isn’t even here to defend himself… Oh well…
ProphetJoe the Irreverent got all philosophical
DON’T pity the poor bastard!
[What kind of a Pirate are you anyway?]
Here’s to your rise in the ranks, laddie! 
ProphetJoe the Irreverent got all philosophical
…I never said it was all going to be on one line…
I guess that depends if the writing is length-wise or girth-wise, Trouble.
Christine the Lioness quibbed this
Fuck Keith. He abandoned us.
Well, the fact that it’s not on one line totally changes everything.
ProphetJoe the Irreverent uttered
Geez, ‘tine, IF it was all on one line, it should probably have an addendum stating: “if you can read this, then you ain’t doing it right”
ProphetJoe the Irreverent scribbled
Was it Chipotle? How was lunch?
Mara the Peacemaker pontificated
I did not have Chipotle but I did have Mexican food and it was delicious. I already have my dinner planned.

I still want to know what justifies “the Pirate” portion of your name…
ProphetJoe the Irreverent quibbed this
Well, to answer my own question — I’ve just completed reading and evaluating over 400 applications from the “skulls full of mush” that want to transfer into my college. I am tired and my wife will surely be asleep when I get home… *sigh*
Good-night.
Sweet Dreams, America

After being in catholic school for ten years, I have to say, that the Bible’s imperfections became a reality to me in first grade. Where the hell are the dinosaurs?????????????????? I cannot believe the lame explanations that came from the straight up drunken irish nuns, and Father Bluett. A behemoth is not a freakin dinosaur….. that one stupid name for whatever the hell a behemoth was, does not cover the entire dino period. They simply f’d up and there is no way around it. Why weren’t dino’s on the ark???? Hmmmmmm, cuz they freakin forgot to mention them anywhere, ever, and why not in lieu of the dino’s, were there not a male and female behemoth (?) on the ark. Fish could swim so screw them they were on their own, there wasn’t two little fish bowls of every kind of fish, and that is really very surprising to me since the whole bread fish miracle from Jesus to feed everyone…. I mean obviously he needed the fish. OK, so I will stop with the bible beating…. speaking of bible beating tho… when I was so pissed off about the dinosaurs not being in the bible , while we were practicing for our first communion, when Sister Nora left the room, I ate the entire body of christ wafers….. I don’t care what anyone says, christ is pretty damn good…. especially with milk. I don’t think the mormans could have swayed me… I think I am now like an Episcabudajew.
