It's a fine day today as my ex gave up a losing battle and stopped sending our daughter to religious education classes at the "Sin 6 ways till Sunday, then say a few Hail Mary's" school of Catholicism. I'm all for education, I'm just not supportive of one school of thought brainwashing children by saying "repeat after me....". I mean, c'mon......any 'house of God' that throws it's collective weight and guilt around by condemning homosexuality as a 'disordered state' is in my opinion, ridiculous. According to Catholics, homosexuals have a mental disorder, but they are OK so long as they practice abstinence. Wow. What - the - hell - ever. So much for coexistance, tolerance, and acceptance. I think I'll teach those virtues to my daughter myself, and when she's old enough to understand religious principles of established churches, say in college, then she can make the call herself.
Unless of course I raise her like the d-bag I am and screw her all up, which is entirely possible.
I'll be 42 in two days. D hooked me up with fleece lined tights, and microspikes for running on packed snow. Mom has a Paris-Tours video on the way with a spectacular victory by Philippe Gilbert to watch, and Lyza has something planned that I know will make me laugh. That right there is a pretty good B-day. I'll be off work, for a full day of boarding at the Bowl.......followed by a prostate exam the next morning. Yeah buddy, enjoy your 30's if you're still in 'em.
There are so many things in that first paragraph that I want to speak to, but I may really pi$$ off someone that I may run into when I'm out visiting. Well, providing said someone ever reads your blog. But, there are certain things that I never understood when I was being brought up Catholic. And, I still don't understand them.
ReplyDeleteParagraph two just has be laughing.
Paragraph three. Nice hook-ups. But, then, I got to the pucker factor of the paragraph. Think I can get back to my 30s?
