I know, huh?
Two levels of interesting...
So does Ireland re-unify?
Does Scotland go independent too?

The Rural/City breakdown looks a lot like political divides in this country.

 

Invest in people.
They die sure, but then life insurance is a pretty good investment too.
Love is the best currency.
And love is not a romantic bullshit.
Love is doing right by others all the time.
And when you fuck up being sorry as fuck for fucking up and showing your humanity in asking forgiveness.
If you invest in your bank account and your stocks but not in people there will come a day that you will be flat broke.
And you will have nobody to give you a pot to piss in.
So spread the love around. Give Give Give till it hurts.
Love is giving your all, your focus, attention, drive, energy, and sometimes even your money.
The returns are great.
The dividends indivisible.
But materially speaking the best thing to invest in is the land you live on.
Not real estate, but REAL estate.
Grow some food. You cant eat coins.
But you can eat dirt.
Its high in minerals.

 

yeah
i don't see this ending anytime soon
church is strong over there
although it's a lot of do as i say not as i do

 

Moringa seeds.
Chew one with your front teeth.
Let it sit on your gumline for a minute so its substance gets sucked into your capillaries.
Everything you drink will taste very sweet for the next couple hours.
Cures your diabetus too.

 

i think you misunderstand church
its where fuckups go after they fucked up
and they serve as examples to the young not to fuck up
or else they end up like the folks at church
hence do as i say not as i do is valid
just not to people who assume church folks are saints
its like AA.
once an alcoholic always an alcoholic but the only way to stay sane is to be a teetotaler
once a sinner always a sinner, same deal
you arent there because you are better than anyone
you are there because you know you fucked up and now must live and struggle with the fact that your body and mind has been taken over by the fuck up you did... and it takes a long time to purge
sometimes it takes all your life
but once you do purge you have the call to be a sponsor to others who need to purge
church aint to go sit and listen to a preacher tell you how to live your life
you gotta do that on your own
church is the support group for all the fuckups like you and me
its a place to party with the other fuck ups
and tell the kids how to not be like you are so they dont fuck up like you fucked up
and to remind yourself not to beat yourself up about the fact you fucked up
to move on and be happy
shit should only take a little while
but then church leaders want to take their cut
which is ok
until they fuck up too
and it becomes more about the cut than the party
so they elongate your stay in the hospital so they can get the most out of you
since hey, you a fuck up so fuck you... why not take your money, you probably done something shitty to somebody and you deserve it
thats their view a lot of the time
these are false teachers who are worse fuck ups than you or I
and they the type that want a unified europe
because they want an emperor
and so you have the two sides like in ireland
those who want an emperor and those opposed to other fuck ups ruling them
unfortunately the protestants over time doth protest too much and become fucked up rulers of their own kind
and their views line up with those of the emperor

 

ah yes, there's the rube we know and love [no homo]

 

i understand church just fine bubba
and it's a lot simpler than your long winded diatribe
church allows self-righteous pricks to use guilt as a measure of control
what god would create a place and then want us to worship him 24/7?
live your life, make mistakes, learn
christianity is a double standard
just because you're a man/woman of god doesn't mean you're incapable of being a douche
more often just the opposite
rest assured there's a special place in hell reserved for any priests who've molested children
if, of course, you believe in heaven and hell

 

none of that has anything to do with church
self righteous pricks abound everywhere not just in church
church is a microcosm of your community and your community has all sorts of pricks
self righteous and not

 

in my post i addressed the self rightous types too
you just see things narrowly and paint all church people the same
a lot of people are pricks everywhere
not just in church
but non church people seem to think that if you are a christian you must be perfect
and you think that perfect means making no mistakes
perfect is a verb not a noun
you are being perfected like base lead into noble gold
that process is hard, dirty, and for many long
the more impure the starting metal the longer the process
and to be a person of god doesnt mean you are good
nobody is good
if you want to ascribe that godly people must be good or else they are hypocrites then you dont get it
they are the same as you or me
fuck ups
what, you arent a fuck up?

 

never said it was limited to just church
but that could be said for everything if you're looking for microcosms
it has everything to do with church because it is what it is
if an alter boy is molested by a priest, how is that not church related
just because molestation happens elsewhere doesn't make it all inclusive
