Womack ,'The Message'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Jews do not take these stories literal, and we wrote them!
So what was it she said that was so evangelical? Cuz that? That is plain bigotted ignorance. That is not any form of Evangelical Christianity that I am aware of, and at least the bit about we Christians having written them is out and out heresy.
Edited because I didn't like my original word choice. Also, I would like to add that I am not at all hostile to omnis, and am only mildly defensive, just feel like I am waiting for a punchline.
Andi, I read it that the Christian pastor said something about the stories being literally true and the Jewish woman was pointing out that the Jews wrote the stories originally and didn't take them literally. Am I misreading? I'm confused.
That's how I read it too, Kristin.
Kristin & Hil are spot on. The Pastor (actually I don't recall his official title. Bad secular sound man, no cookie) said something to the effect "you have to believe every word that is written, or you believe none of it. Eve from Adams rib, the flood, the immaculate conception, water into wine, everything. If you doubt any of it, your faith is faulty". (huge paraphrase, but that was the gist of it). That statement got a large groan/gasp/sigh reaction from the whole audience. The actor who acts as moderator for the discussion quickly, & politely said "let's try to keep on topic and only discuss the book of Genesis". That is when the lady said the above statement.

(change of gears cuz I am a lil ADD). DUDE!!! Did you hear what the White House staff did for the Obama girls last night?!? They did a scavenger hunt to teach them some of the history of their new home! And it ended with some teen boy band I never heard of. How cool is that!!!???!!!
Also, love, Love, LOVE the new Executive Orders on ethics, lobbying, and FOI act stuff.
I thought of you tonight, omnis, when I was at the new gospel version of Jesus Christ Superstar [link] There were at times about 50 singers on stage, all miked and all wearing white clothing, as well as a 10-piece band. It struck me as designed to drive the sound people to drink.
The Jonas Brothers, Omnis. Teaching keeps me young. Or ages me prematurely. Depends on the day. Either way, I love that they did a scavenger hunt for the girls. It must be kind of exciting, thinking about having kids in the Whte House again.
The Jonas Brothers. [link]
(They really amuse me, since they quite clearly dress/style the three boys so that there's one "good boy," one "bad boy," and one "alternative/hip" boy.)
I wonder if they would post the scavenger hunt on line, like a virtual one, game if sorts, so others can learn about the cool history stuff. (what? Me? History geek? Ok, just a little).
50 mics?!?! Just the RF setup alone is a nightmare! Is this a tour? That complicates thing 100 fold, as each city has it's own RF challenges. Ya, my crew would not be able to handle that.
