Yeah, so if you know me, you know I think religion is about a cool as hot summer nights at the georgetown waterfront.
I mean don't get me wrong, like any aspiring intellectual(cough, cough), I think religion is fansinating as a subject matter, but less so as a personal philospophy. My biggest beef with religion is when it is thrown in my face. I am not even going to discuss the double parking issue in my neighborhood.
My boss, soon to be ex-boss brought be some religious candy yesterday. "Sours" in the shape of jesus-fish. I mean in light of all of this Mel Gibson business, you think an intelligent man would resist giving his assistant, who I might add has been mistaken for a jew many times(I have an immigrants nose people say) Scripture candy. I want to add that the tin the candy came in is fantastic, made is China of course and also contains a Bible Verse! Mark 10:27, for those that are interested. The candy I would have to say is sub-par. The "Sours" look more like Flinstone Kids vitamins, and taste more like the body of christ, specifically the skin behind his ears. At least I can cherish the box for its kistchster value and carry advil in it.
I guess the scripture candy isnt really that different from than the Chocolate Chahnuka Coins my mother puts in my christmas stocking each year, but thanks to Dov Charney, Judiasm was so hot last year that I dont mind it as much. Maybe the Christians are making a sub-culture comeback, and Roger is just ahead of the curve. Somehow, I doubt it.
