  I got an e-mail from dad, and he really wants me to visit him. But, it just isn't possible right now.
There isn't anyone available to work for me, and I can't afford to lose any pay. Elvin and I had sex yesterday! I'm not sure why he wanted it, but it was great. My sex drive is still slightly active, at least more so than it usually is. Usually, I'm not that interested in sex this time of year. But, it still pops into my head every so often. It is slowly moving towards the low position, though. I'm in doubt as to my religious beliefs.
I have been a pagan, wiccan, Mithraist, neo-Christian, christo-pagan, and one or two other things. Through it all though, the teachings of Jesus have stuck in my head. They were what I was brought up with, and they remain important to me (and a part of my moral compass). This isn't to say a particular churches teaching, but actually reading what Jesus supposedly said and learning from it.
I feel pulled to his teachings, and I feel a pull towards Christianity as a result (albeit a very liberal version of it). I am reminded of a discussion I had with a literalist Christian on a message board. It was whether the bible was the literal work of god. I said no, he said yes. I tried to explain my position, and he blasted me with old testament quotations (which were themselves directed at the OT) and said they proved the bible (as a whole) is the literal word of god. I pointed out that quoting a book I believed was written by the hand of man didn't prove it is the literal work of god, and he just kept sending different quotes. (Surprisingly, most of them really didn't seem to fit with the argument. It really seemed as if he was going for volume, and picked most of them by random.
) Eventually I just told him I wasn't interesting in talking with him anymore, as neither of use were budging from out positions. (He wouldn't listen to anything I said, and he just blasted me with quotations and called me a minion of Satan. ) After that, I didn't post anything. But, I checked the thread periodically, hoping someone who used their head would post.
But, he was the only one who did and he just kept posting bible quotations directed at me (never read any of his posts after a while). I don't know why that popped into my head, but it did. I just wonder what kind of logic people like him use, as I can't see the logic in their thinking. Quoting a book proves that book is what you say it is?
