Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Don't really know. The stone around my wood-burning stone. It's flat, red, and semi-finished, at best. That's as much thought as I've given it in the past.

Sort of a combination of the drug-induced traditions of other cultures and the mystical experience of the eucharist? I could see that. Oddly, it's the "brownie" bit that is, to me, the most "no, that won't work."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Well, I'm sure one could bake some sort of magical savory biscuit thing.

I mean, my in-laws' church does pita bread.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was about to say that you could have bread or brownies instead of the wafer.

Mmm. Mystic muffins!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh, bread doesn't ping me as wrong.

But doing communion with brownies, or cookies, or pie just seems...wrong.

Or maybe instead of traditional communion, you could have a potluck table set up in back of the church. (sorry for the pun) You would have to plan on the congregation having the munchies, after all.

This is true, you would!

One would want mellow, mild stuff like they had in the 60s. Today's weed is just too strong.

Oh, definitely. You wouldn't want the church ladies (who I picture dressed in flowered dresses, wearing hats) to freak out, after all.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Jesus can't be sweet?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Jesus can be sweet. He just shouldn't be dessert.

Give me a minute and I'll come up with theological justification for that.
