Doesn't it actually say that, though, about lukewarm Christians, somewhere in the Gospels?
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Rev. 3:16
So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Oh, well, if Revelations says so, it must be true. And not crazy at all.

All is well that ends in pizza.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, well, if Revelations says so, it must be true. And not crazy at all.
Hey! The crazy part is the best part of Revelations. That's it how rolls. Crazily.

Hil, if the Jewish Chapel is as beautifully done as the Protestant Chapel, you might find it interesting to at least visit for the interview.
Pretty much all interviews are done at the conference in January. There's a room set aside for interviews, and it makes everything simpler because everybody is in the same place at once, rather than all the applicants having to travel all over the place. The down side being that we don't always get to actually visit the school before accepting a job there, and sometimes people end up with a ton of interviews in a row.

Quick check with Michiganistas: Houghton, Michigan seems like a place where I would not be happy. Am I reasonably correct in this impression?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Oh, Epic, I should have been clearer. These dudes are crazycakes. Like they have a whole long list on a sign about who will burn that includes not only the usual gays and non-Christians but Catholics and Masons and evolutionists and, no lie, lukewarm Christians.
Gotcha. Needed context. Not supportive, uplifting types. The ones making the rest of us look bad. ::Will not get "Judge not, lest ye be judged" tattooed on forehead. Will not get "Judge not, lest ye be judged" tattooed on forehead.::
Well, at least they give me a better perspective on my former, nothing much wrong with him worse than upper-middle-class-white-privelege-and-a-bad-attitude-about-recycling-and-animals former pastor though.
Kind of you to try to explain, though. I didn't mean to imply that all Christians thought that way.
Never thought you were saying that, Hon.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Hil, if you're at all interested in West Point, it would be worth a visit for an interview, at least. (It's in Westchester, right? I lived in Ossining for a year. Nice area.)
The ones making the rest of us look bad.
Yes. The ones who lead my gay friends to wonder why I'm a Christian. (The ones who lead me to wonder the same thing occasionally.)
