One response to “For the Bible Tells Me So”
-
Personally, I’ve never had a problem with churches – my last church knew my son as a person and if anybody did have reservations they were not going to voice them about one of their own to one of their own – most members of the congregation were totally OK as one would expect.
What I have occasionally had problems with: the occasional Christian saying something which made me yearn for a pick axe, like ‘but one day we will cure homosexuals’ (over my dead body do you cure my son of being himself. Take this literally for the good of your own health.)
‘Most of this congregation are wholly accepting of gay Christians. Of course I can see it is more difficult if it is your own child’. (Only different in so far as it is better, sonny)It should not be an issue. Except perhaps outside the church. I clean for a lovely elderly couple. Mrs is eagerly awaiting further news of my outfit for son’s civil union in the summer – she lives in terror of Mr saying something crashingly tactless. I wish I could say something to reassure her that I know Mr is just about as tactful as I am, and he is forgiven beforehand. No offence meant and none taken as ’twere.

Headlines
I can forgive the Scottish Sun quite a lot for headlines like the one they are using today – You Can be Sure of Chelle. This, of course is next to a picture of Michelle McManus, whom they think will win Pop Idol.

di-dah-dah-di-dah-dit
A new morse code abbreviation has just been announced – in case you need to know, the @ symbol was lacking a morse abbreviation, and of course it is being used much more often these days for e-mail addresses. If you need to know, the new abbreviation is di-dah-dah-di-dah-dit which is the letters A and…
