You Know What's Stupid?

Other people, that's what.

Oh, and me.

I got in another FB fight this week with some yahoo-kooky-lefty-commie-pinko-Christian type.  You know the kind - God cares about the poor, so we should too...? Yeah, I know.  We don't even disagree. All that much. But in his defence of the poor he was just kind of, I don't know, assholey.  And so of course instead of just skipping right to Bejewelled Blitz, I had to interfere in his little verbal fist-fight with a Right Wing Whacko and point out that probably God cared less about the American worker than about Christians being kind to each other.

Well, YKLCPC-type decided to continue ranting and point out that I was not only wrong but also Canadian and should just take my health care and go home.  Did I stay out of it at that point? No, because I'm a moron. I told him he hurt my feelings, and that maybe it's a bit gross to consider the American worker "the poor" in a global sense.  He responded that I was "insensitive".  And wrong.

So screw you wacko - I've got a BLOG!

Petty? yes.  Right? probably not. So bothered? for shizzle.

I hate it when people disagree with me, especially about Kingdom shit. Because while I don't think any of our theology matters all that much and that it makes God kind of chuckle when we act like it does, it's all mystery, we see through a glass darkly and all that -- while I am aware of all that, in my secret heart of hearts, I am pretty sure God thinks I'm right. About all of it. 

Oh dear.

And this is why I need salvation.  Because my heart's desire is not that I agree with the Lord, but that the Lord agree with me. If that isn't the definition of sin, I don't know what is.  And so I go back to my prayer that I came up with somewhere back there in Advent: "Lord, make me willing."  That's all I've got. 

Well, that and the hope that YKLCPC-type gets a message from the Lord that he's an asshole.
