Fries with That?

 

If you are ever of the mind to think that religion should live without restraints, uh, you’re wrong. Let’s start with how the wing-nuts are cheerleading Armageddon. They are taking delight in the notion that most of us will soon be pitched in a lake of fire. That’s not a very Christian thought, is it? Nor was voting for The Bush Boy, but we’ll leave that jawbone for another ass.

Back a number of years ago, at a diner called the Bongo Java Café, if memory serves, in backwoods Tennessee, if that isn’t redundant, someone decided that a cinnamon bun looked like Mother Teresa. So they put it in a glass display case, surrounded by little tinkling Christmas lights, and sold bookmarks celebrating the cinnamon bun to the thousands who came to see it.

Perhaps you remember the glass windows in a bank in Florida, another center of deep thought, which seemed to reflect an image of the son of god. Tens of thousands went to see. But did I hear that someone, probably for religious reasons, broke the windows? He’s gonna get tossed into the lake of fire first.

But probably the topper is this news item: EBay has canceled bids on a ten-year-old grilled cheese sandwich with the owner said looked like the Virgin Mary. The bidding had climbed over $22,000 before EBay pulled the plug, saying they thought it was a joke.

Not to Diana Duyser of Hollywood, Florida who had cooked the sandwich and taken a bite out of it before she saw what she thought she saw. For the past decade, she’d kept the sandwich in a clear plastic box with cotton balls on her night stand.

I consider myself a spiritual person, far more so than the religious nuts who let others do their thinking for them. It’s an important distinction that the fruit loops ain’t never gonna get, unless god speaks to them, for the first time, and makes sense, if that’s possible.

And that’s SetonnoteS...I’m Tony Seton.
