OK, WHO HERE IS GOING TO WATCH THE ROYAL WEDDING???

by Mary in

i admit it----i plan on getting up at 4:00 freaking am to watch it.

i remember getting up around that time 30 years ago .

anyone else plan on watching it?.

during the normal working day routine something occured to me that has been in the back of my mind for some time.. during bible times, scriptures dont appear to have a sense of humour, i believe its because life was (and his) serious, they were very dependent on what they made and ate, life must have been tuff, no diswashers, no cars, no gas or electricity etc.. fast forward to today, we work for the rest of our lifes but confort standards have increased, we have a huge selection of foods and entertainment, we go home to spend time with our loved ones, watch tv not realising in our own little way we have been condition to think during these years, that we dont think about tommorrow-death, we can suffer from some disease, the animals we eat suffered for our pleasure of eating meat, still in our time people die from starvation, natural disasters, crimes and war.. reality bites, dont know who said that but its very true.. and while my dad prays before dinner for god to help all brothers, "brothers" suffer, die, and others still die of starvation.

if i was ever going to reconcile the bible with reality, the same question that turned bart ehrman into an agnostic "why does god permit suffering" the most logical conclusion (and while faulty)i can come up with is that god is impartial, as it says it rains on both the good and the bad.

since the bible is faulty i could go one step further and say by what i see around, that while the creation of life (plants, animals etc) are intelligent, what or who ever created us either forgot about us or does not us to know, or does not want us to understand at this time.. when watching the royal wedding, watching the priests and royalty, i wonder how much blood and sacrifice went into all that gold and monarchy wealth.

I see your point. And agree to a certain degree. Monarchy.....just another TV show to me. ......hang on, just gotta watch the kiss......na seriously, where do you go for spiritual fulfillment.

I mean, if you are an evolutionist, how do you explain that stage show?

I'm glad to hear you are being a responsible parent. I hope they are cleaning the mouth piece on that funnel before they pass it round.

I wasn't big on beer when I was young...er. Pink chardon, now we're talking classy or Marque vue (is that how you spell it?) or............. sometimes those pre mix bottles of screwdriver.....ewwwww that thought just made me cringe.

Lets be honest....whatever we could get our hands on.
