The Fat = Sin thing seems very important to notice and interrogate. I also found many of your other parallels quite affecting--particularly discussing street harassment in this context.

When I inquired more, she said that amber is a fossil and that ALL fossils are fake. The world is six thousand years old, like it says in the bible. Fossils are usually described by those people as God puts them there to 'test your faith', or alternatively, 'buried by the devil', also I guess, to test our faith. Now all's we have to do is figure out who's who. A prankster god or the devil.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-35370570746390502462014-05-23T23:43:05.288-04:002014-05-23T23:43:05.288-04:00I think the same, but an amazing number of people ...I think the same, but an amazing number of people take this stuff seriously.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-45665474386330000932014-05-23T21:04:29.536-04:002014-05-23T21:04:29.536-04:00Suffering is common effect of religion.

Why anybody would consider true any tome brought about by translation of ancient text by an ecclesiastical body and an English king five hundred years ago, is beyond me.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.com
