RE: Go *$%@ Yourselves! (An Inspirational Post)
Love it!!!!!!
I actually was listening to an Alan Watts podcast today and he mentioned the whole 'sin' thing... He found it paradoxical because Christian doctrine tells us God created humans with sin, and then punished them for it, and then expects everyone to not be sinful.
So if we go against sin, aren't we going against how God made us?
Completely ridiculous of course, and comes more from the thinking of St Augustine than anything else. But handy way to keep the clergy employed, as Watts would say.
Loved this, looking forward to reading more of your work.

Why thank you!
Yes, it is definitely ridiculous, it amazes me that it took so long for me to come to that. But when you are taught this from the time you can think by loving parents who truly believe it, it's the hardest kind of indoctrination/brainwashing to shed. Or at least it was for me. The nice thing about it, is that it made it so much easier to see through everything else once I did shed it :)
I really appreciate that! Although the main theme of my blog is my works of fiction, I do try to mix it up a little. And based on the overwhelming response for this post, maybe I should do articles like this more often, haha!
As for my fiction, you would probably enjoy my short story series called The Playground. I should be putting up another one this week :)
