Theology from the lips of a 16 year old



From a seventeen year old, after having read "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God":

“I don’t know that much about religion I only been to church when I was young, but I know that all religions basically came from one.  All religions are similar in one way like, Jesus was born out of nowhere from Mary, and there was a woman in china who was impregnated by a dragon and a king was born which is weird.  We are ants in a pic-nick we are there but he has has the choice to get rid of us or just go along with it.”

Theologians around the world should rejoice.  We have deciphered the meaning of all religions.


*I copied all spelling, grammar, and punctuation verbatim from the writer.  Too good to change.

  5. We read that last week, and that's the kind of discussion we had in class! We also talked a lot about logical fallacies in the document, and that wasn't nearly as fun.

    Okay, so, one of my students asked me if I wanted some of her chocolate - it's from Germany. I said, "Well, let me smell it, (I took a long, strong sniff) because I am allergic to the cocoa bean; I can't eat chocolate." Shocked she said, "Oh! Ms. Davis! How on earth do you get through your periods every month?" I said, "Well, honey, I've had 16 years of practice." (I didn't dare go into the - I'm a member of the 50s' club, been through menopause, and had a hysterectomy when I was 35.)
