Marriage

[woodface]

Found this remark somewhere on lj: "Marriage is defined by God, not by Man."

I really suggest that said persons who use this type of banner look up the actual history of marriage (which I should do myself too). Sure, church made it their own but marriage is not something typical to christianity. The evolutions in marriage in christianity have shifted as well. I think this is very much a thing made by man and not by god.

Yes, I'm still here and kinda too nervous to do anything. EEEEEEEEEEEE!

I fear him cuz he's crazy powerful and way cool (and I'm episcopalian so I have to be a little dogmatized) but I just don't buy the angsty God business. He's too "with it" to be all "omfg, I hate you fuckers."

*dies of laugh* I guess I need to go to Pennsylvannia...

i really hate the concept of "just say the right words" and that means that "you're a christian and saved! omfg!" re: evangelism and the spanish conquistadors saying "hey, say you're christian and we'll keep you alive and fed"

I mean seriously. I could possibly say anything under drama, pressure and threats - doesn't mean that I believe it.

From one of my favorite plays on this subject:
Silence, lord of Cumbria: My father is dead.
Roger, the Priest: He is with Christ.
Silence: Oh! I am so glad that your Christ is in Vallahalla!
-Silence
