I am off to pick up teacup boyfriend at work, and then we are off to an artist lecture of some sort. Have a good night everyone.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I saw someone reading Mere Christianity on the bus this morning. Weird. But I had a violently negative response to it myself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay, Lilty!
That's tough, Gud. I hope y'all can overcome your differences. I'm not familiar with the books you've mentioned.

"Mere Christianity" pisses me off, and I try to be a Christian.
The first and to some extent the second part of it (I'm not finished with the third part yet) seem to be a persuasive argument where you build your agrument and getting the reader to accept one point after another that build on each other. The problem is that I don't think most of his points are complete. In a lot of places he's like it's either A or B, and I'm thinking what about C, D, and E that he didn't mention.

Good for you Lilty, whatever you're approved of. If it helps, I approve of you.

Yip. For instance, "Lunatic, Liar, or Lord" doesn't consider the cases that he was a wise man who was insane on one subject but perfectly rational otherwise, or that he was a wise man whose sayings were heavily edited by his followers.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
It is betray by body day. Glucose levels are higher than I am comfortable. and today - i have a med tech come look at me for insurance purposes. and my bp was very, very high. Like - there is no way my doctor would ignore it if it was that high. so where did this monsterous number come from?
happily - my idea of comfort food has moved to the fruit and chese as oppsed to the twinkie side of life.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The so-called trilemma, "Lunatic, Liar, or Lord"? doesn't hold up to logical examination.
The FAC was very big on Lord, Liar, Lunatic? as a means of proving that Jesus was, in fact, who he claimed to be. It always seemed logical to me, BUT I admit that, in the time since I left the FAC, I've never sat down to look at its logic or lack thereof.

Hmm. I like Mere Christianity, but it's been years since I've read it, so I can't really speak to how well the arguments would hang together for me now, post-major-faith-crisis. Screwtape Letters is my most frequently re-read Lewis, even beating out Narnia. Oh, and some of the essays. I like "The Weight of Glory" and "Learning in War-Time."
