I’m sure by now you have all read BlagHag’s blog post on Boobquake and the reasoning behind it.
All I have to say is “I’m showing ankle*” and “Whoo! My shirt is a bit tight for me than is normal.”
Considering that I consider myself of modest dress, this is kind of a big thing. I don’t like being called immodest, promiscuous, nor an adulterer for wearing my pj’s in public. I don’t like myself or my friends being labeled as devil-women who lead young men astray (I seem to remember that it’s the other way around, Little Miss Riding Hood’s Wolf) because they want to look and feel beautiful during a night out on the town.
I know a few women who used to be forced to wear headscarves by their husbands. I want to point out “used to.” There are some choices that we, as women, just need to be able to make for ourselves, and what we wear is one of them.
Earthquakes happen every day. They’ve been happening somewhere every day since the creation of the planet. They’re just seem to be happening closer to populated areas. Too much information is the root cause of this. The popularity of internet reports and our habitat spread are both partially to blame. I’m sure there is an allusion to Adam and Eve taking a bite from the Tree of Knowledge in here somewhere. Maybe those crazy Bible writers knew something we didn’t.
*The ankle joke is a running one among my Rennie and SCAdian friends. I didn’t know that Blag Hag included it in her clarifying post.
**For those who have seen my DeviantArt page, yes, this is a re-visit of the MostlyStupid.com ad. The site seems to be broken, now.
You can thank Adam and Eve for sinning.. As for it gave you the pure blessing of wearing the best of the best clothing from Nordstroms or Sears … Whichever is on your payment bracket. I personally don’t care. What I do care about is you taking the Word of God out of true context. The reason you are here. The reason you have a job. The reason you breathe air. And when things seem tough-Jesus, trying to get your attention. He knew you before you were born… Every hair on your body. He gives you and I more than second chances as we screw up. I learned the hard way-and accepted His love. Watch life turn into so much more He had planned. Try that out. Not belittling your creator…. So we can see you turn into so much more too. God bless you in all you do today… And more tomorrow. As He waits.
I’m going to ask you point blank – did you even read what I said before attempting to berate me for using a Biblical reference as a point of contention that I might actually agree with?
Here’s the thing, you’re telling me I’m “taking the ‘Word of God’ out of context.” I was actually suggesting that the Bible had a point – too much knowledge can lead to displeasure and being forced out of paradise – as is/can be shown by the people who claim the world is ending or global warming is going to kill us and the planet NOW. Living in Fear is the exact opposite of living in peaceful bliss, which I view to be the true paradise, or a Garden of Eden. Therefor, I cannot be taking the ‘Word of God’ out of context.
Another point: You obviously don’t read my comic. You must have done a Google search and this page popped up. Next time don’t click on it, or at least get familiar with the CONTEXT upon which you are commenting. This is my webcomic – not yours. My webcomic is based upon my reactions and daydreams of my real life. I am a blatant OmniTheist, I believe in all Gods/Deities and that no path is correct. I don’t hide this fact at all. I’m also a sinner who believes that Love transcends gender and that God wants us to Love, not hate, berate, lie, or tear down others because we disagree with them. I am very much aware that I am here where I am with some exquisite Divine interference. Unfortunately, because of my claim as an OmniTheist (you can read: Pagan), you automatically assume that I do not have a close relationship with the Deity. This is quite untrue. However, like any parent, The Great It In The Sky leaves me to my own decisions and is okay if I choose path #3 that was presented to me, rather than path #4.
I have never belittled my creator that I care about so deeply as my own parent. Do not presume to know me or my intentions. I was merely agreeing with the humans that wrote down the story of creation.
