Last Poster #8

I’m trying to understand the juxtaposition of a beautiful seascape and a knife stabbed into a wooden post. 🤔 I think it’s a exposition of existential angst regarding the true meaning of nature and man’s position within it. Nature has the ability to be violent (like the knife) and also sublimely beautiful like the shape of the knife’s blade (marred, in this case, only by those awful G10 uncontoured scales - only a knife enthusiast would spot this - very subtle). One day the knife will rust and decay just as nature’s ‘fair from fair sometime declines, by chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd.

Very deep, you’re very deep, drop bear.

It makes its own quiet statement.

I see it more as a man making his stand against the absurd, saying to the cosmos 'here I am, and this is my knife'. Such a man is capable of anything, and the beauty of the landscape is incidental, though it serves to highlight the futility and heroism of his struggle.

I'm sick, but then you knew that anyway. What I mean is that I've pulled a sickie. Some of the people at the bible study group have some pretty shall we say old fashioned opinions, and I'm not good at dealing with that.

I’m curious. Wouldn’t people in a Bible study group naturally have old fashioned opinions?
It’s an old book.
 
Well...yeah, but you know what Jesus said about homosexuality? Absolutely nothing. And I refuse to believe that the son of God was either guilty of an oversight or intended Christians to persecute a certain group of people for no good reason.
 
I mean, I know a fair amount of gay folk and if they want to solemise their relationship in the eyes of the lord I see no reason why they shouldn't. Maybe it's because I don't particularly care what other people do with their genitals, I don't know

It’s Old Testament bigotry and sexual violence to blame, supposedly revoked by the new covenant. Things like being stoned to death by your whole town for touching pig skin, or eating shellfish, or working on the Sabbath, etc.
 
Which, surely, is the kind of thing that the lord made himself flesh to prevent? I feel sure that christ had a more fulfilling aim in mind
I don’t pretend to understand the motivations of others, whether they be deity or mortal. Christ would be so much more appealing if it weren’t for all the murder and misogyny perpetrated either directly, or at the behest of his father. Ah well, at least it makes for an exciting read, most especially because of the surprise ending. Now before you brand me heretic or blasphemer, I would submit that my version of God transcends gender or form, and certainly, at the very least, the most inspired ideas and scribblings of man.
