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.
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.
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.
commercial interior designer by day, (un)domestic diva by night. runner and clean eater.
this is a tale of a boy (and his dog) and a girl (and her dog/cat) who met, fell in love and bought the cutest lil' bungalow on the block. and then got married and moved to a farm. learning to live together peacefully in a construction zone.
