I have been asleep for 3 hours, and 40 seconds. Before that, I was at home.

Religion in a fun-sized package

/meat/life/ @ 12:38 on Wed, 2003-11-05

Two black men and a little black book
came knocking on my door.
They wanted to sell me their ways and ideals
and to read me some o' their lore.

I was quite sad that I was running late and couldn't stay to talk to the Jehovah's Witnesses who came by this morning. I've never really had a good opportunity to talk religion with a fanatic besides my mom, and she doesn't really count (Flower child → found Jesus → rediscovered her hippie ways).

Unrelatedly, I think a religion based on the wisdom of fortune cookies would be pretty nifty. When posed with a moral dilemma, one would go to the Holy Chinese Restaurant and take an offering from the fortune cookies. "My teenage son is not talking to me, and calls me a 'controlling bitch'. Oh scrumptious Fortune Cookie, what should I do?" "Love is hard work; and hard work sometimes hurts!" "I see now. Thank you, Fortune Cookie."

Even those without a Holy Chinese Restaurant nearby could participate thanks to the wonders of technology. I think it could work.

My layout here is designed to work in all browsers that support CSS 1 and 2 and was designed by reading the W3C CSS recommendations. It was tested in the most CSS-compliant browser I know of, Firefox. If you want this page (and others too!) to look nice, I reccomend trying Firefox - it's completely free and can also block those annoying popup ads out-of-the-box.
