religulous stuff.

i figured i'd give you a heads up, just in case you didn't want to read anything religious.  or religulous if you're a bill mahr fan.

which i am.  let's just put that out on the table.

i'd put the youtube video i found of the final scene of the movie, but lionsgate doesn't allow embedding and i'm not a fan of breaking the law.  you can google it if you haven't seen it.  and i highly recommend the movie.

i also know well in advance, that i will offend someone with this post.  i'm not stupid.  hell, i'm probably one of the most offensive people you'll ever meet.

but i'll say it with a smile!  :)

anyways...

in light of good friday, easter and just the fact that i wanted to listen to a little miranda lambert this morning, i thought i'd share this song that has a line it in that pretty much epitomizes my thoughts on god.





in case you weren't able to catch all those lyrics, here they are again in written form:

I ain't the kind you take home to mama
I ain't the kind to wear no ring
Somehow I always get stronger
When I'm on my second drink

Even though I hate to admit it
Sometimes I smoke cigarettes
The Christian folks say I should quit it
And I just smile and say "god bless"

Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand a heart like mine
Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
But said he loved me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family
So I thought I'd learn to sing

Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand a heart like mine

And I'll fly away from it all one day
And I'll fly, I'll fly away
But these are the days that I will remember
When my names called on a roll
He'll meet me with two long stem glasses
And make a toast to me coming home

Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand
Understand a heart like mine
Oh yes he would

the chorus is what i think really speaks to me, it's bolded AND italicized above. look at me all fancy.


unlike some people from kansas, i don't think God, Jesus, Allah, or whatever you want to call the deity you worship hates you.  or me.  or anyone.  i sure don't think "God hates fags" as fred phelps is so fond of saying.

congratulations, fred phelps, you're famous for being a douche bag.

god loves everyone, even if you like to partake in a little bit of wine every once in a while.

i'm just sayin'.

in case you didn't follow the link from above to the "God Hates Fred Phelps" website, this is my favorite fact on the page: "The church at Westboro which he leads has 71 confirmed members, 60 of whom are related to Phelps through blood or marriage or both." - fredphelps.com

does the "or both" bother anyone else?  now i'm going to have to google if fred phelps married his sister or something.
