they call it a universal joint, not a catholic joint

Yeah that is another thing about Christianity that doesn't make any sense, how you come back.  Generally your body is not so hot by the time you die, let alone after tossing and turning in the graveyard for however long it takes for the apocalypse and the antichrist and armageddon.  I read a science fiction book where the good guys really want to win armageddon and since they are all high tech they build an army of robots who kick ass, but then when Jesus comes to take the victors into heaven he leaves the good guys behind. 

Anyway if they are going to bring you back as your old decrepit body heaven doesn't seem so hot, who wants to spend eternity as a handful of dust?  If they bring you back at the height of your powers then why bother with the body at all? 

I thought Armageddon was a fight between good and evil, actually I rather thought it involved like angels and devils which doesn't make sense in light of my science fiction story, but then it is a science fiction story.  And the antichrist, I thought he was more than some guy, I thought he was like to the mortals who viewed him like the perfect man and I thought almost everybody loved him. 

That's what they told me at Elsdon too about the capital letter, but still why not just leave it out, especially since when you are speaking it a lower case c sounds just like an upper case C.  It's not like this creed thing is such a big deal.  And you know, as long as you mean universal why not just say universal?  Whenever this creed was written it wasn't in English, so whatever word in that language that meant universal why not use that word? 

Maybe because they were under the control of the antichrist, or maybe they were all mini antichrists (maybe it says so in one of those books they tossed onto the ash heap at that long ago council), and every time you said that accursed creed the mark of the Whore of Babylon grew deeper on your brow, so that when we stand before St Peter he will put his finger on the mark sending us ass over teakettle into the fiery pit.  See you in Hell Beagles.

Kind of a fine point, liking people but not crowds.  We all know that three is a crowd, so if you are with two other people you are in a crowd, and you are as much a part of that hated crowd as they are.

I like that phrase though, "That's not people, that's traffic."  I will be looking for ways to work that into conversations.

It wasn't very Christian of her, but Cindy had to admit that she especially wanted to show it off to that slutty Sally O'Maye, she had seen her make eyes at Beagles, heck, she made eyes at everyone including, and sometimes it seemed like especially, Reverend Al himself.
