for my own amusement
Jan. 24th, 2007 10:05 pmI was thinking about some stuff today and realized that maybe I should expound on this:
vegetarian --> undesirable as marriage partner.
The deal, as best I can understand, is this: God said you can eat animals. What, you think you have better judgment than God does? Besides, God thinks animals are so very tasty and wonderful that God wants you to eat them to celebrate God's holy specialspecial day of rest...you know, that day that God took a break from creating everything...including animals. I mean, God created 'em so God can decide what to do with 'em, right? And God totally thinks you should eat them, so cut the holier-than-thou crap. It really doesn't matter that fish makes you gag and the though of eating a drumstick is entirely unappealing--God says that's how you should celebrate, dammit. You are totally a bad person if you don't eat meat and fish and poultry to celebrate God's creating the world and taking a break.
Whoops, I'm rambling a little. And embellishing a bit. But it's amusing how illogical it seems when seen through adult eyes.
(And of course the you are trying to supersede God's directions with your own logic --> you suck as a potential mate bit is another barrel of monkeys.)
Also. Confidential to the person selling a nosehair trimmer on the JHU marketplace bulletin board: do you really think anyone's going to buy it? Thanks for the laughs, though.
when I was growing up, people told my mother that no one would want to marry me because I was a vegetarianIt's probably not an obvious or logical train of thought for most people:
vegetarian --> undesirable as marriage partner.
