I mean, I think it's pretty much just as much a load of codswallery as any other religion, but I get that a significant part of religion is having faith in something unknown and unknowable, even sometimes in the face of contradictory evidence. I'm fine with that, I respect that. I think that's neat! Here's what bugs me about your religion: crucifixes. They are morbid and creepy, and morbid again. I understand that the central idea behind your religion is that God loves humanity so much that He let Himself be incarnated and tortured to death to make up for our sins-- but isn't the really miraculous part, the part deserving of worship, not the "tortured to death" but rather the "resurrected" part? Wouldn't it make more sense, and also be less off-putting to, say, wear little replicas of the empty sepulchre? If a modern Jesus were executed today, would you wear little electric chairs around your necks? Is it meant to be a reaproppriation of the symbology of the oppressor, like gay men wearing pink triangles or black folk wearing Tommy Hilfiger? As I learned from the work of the Cristin half of twosnoos, another form of the death penalty in Ancient Rome was giraffe rape (look it up, yo)-- what would y'all be wearing if Jesus had been sentenced to that?Fri, Dec. 25th, 2009, 12:05 pm

that present it be loved for present laughter. Also that fool hearts, alone, let themselves belong in the house of it; the wise, the house of mourning. Why such divergent answers from such teachers? Life seemed cruelly short to bard; cruelly long to preacher. Yet true times as rivers flow or candles burn, long in the stretches, short on the turns, and mirth with bitter herbs is better taken than meals of mirth alone or years of it forsaken. Does sweet improve when mixed with strain, or is it that the acrid in that blend begins to fade? Much endures while youth slips away like a thief; mirth is a wine well pressed in the house of grief.

I'm going to bed, but if you are just oh-so-anxious and staying up to grab the torrent, refresh this page occasionally and you should see it flip over soon. And won't you please seed so that Trent doesn't have to break something? Also: if you're into that whole Twitter thing, feel free to remark on the project with tag #avottgift. It'll be fun to watch the comment stream tomorrow morning and gauge people's impressions. Ok, night night. Thu, Dec. 24th, 2009, 04:34 pm

 Merry Christmas from me and whatever_art to you!In other news: not going anywhere for Christmas. Staying in San Francisco, hosting a 10 person orphan dinner. But then going to the Caribbean on a 7 night cruise over New Year's with parents, Sierra, my brother Cole and his girlfriend. Should be fun. :) Fri, Dec. 25th, 2009, 01:33 am
