Jesus
It costs too much for alcohol
But it costs 'way more for pot,
or LSD, or cocaine,
especially if you're caught.
Agent Cooper: The kind and loving God I was taught about would NEVER do an awful thing like this.

Having had a steady stream of dark and intense video dramas lately, I needed a change of pace.
Attended a funeral yesterday. While waiting for the service to begin, I was reading Luke from the Bible available in front of me. New revised standard, or something.
This is only book-related by tying in with the Gospels, but it's Easter, and later in the thread, and our host announced he was off to church, so... from a comment I made on the ONT:

Happy Easter back atcha, FenelonSpoke.
Just noticed my hash contains verboten phrase i-m-g, so when quoted back it comes out 7___O - never saw that one before.
Morning, glorious fellow offspring of our Creator!

Hi again.
Here's what Milady and I were watching instead of my reading all your lovely comments tonight:
The book thread commentary is always amazing and inspiring.
Darth Randall: Thanks for the mini-review. Good to know. Been thinking of actually venturing into the theater for it, despite my disgust with dealing with the General Public.
FenelonSpoke: Railing at God is an expression of faith too; It's throughout the Bible. Even Jesus said "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?

naturalfake: ..."Behold the Man" ... I wasn't shocked so much as sort of depressed by the display of pure vitriol and hate by Moorcock....
Jim: Sort of like John Lennon saying the Beatles were more popular than Jesus.
Sort of... except that John wasn't bragging, he was kind-of appalled, as I recall.
telling sins before the confession
Heh.
"Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did..." (John 4:29)
FenelonSpoke: ...I am firmly and unapologetically a Christian, but I do think there is something of the holy that unites people of great faith and love and prayer across traditions....
It changed everything.

That rings an old, painful bell, but I love the happy ending in your version.
Only up to comment #150, but wanted to post this before the thread wore out / got buried by food or football.

When I think of "life-changing books," I relate it to Jesus' saying one must be "born again."
The Heavenly Orchestra and Choir must be amazed at the rockers our world keeps sending up.
(Christ smiles: Dig my world!)
FenSpok, You know I love you, right? So, not sure what to make of your "charitableness-shaming," and across several threads at that.
Jesus is coming back...
NOW!
He's returning...
NOW!
RIGHT NOW!

Jesus is coming back...
NOW!
Okay, NOW!
FenelonSpoke, Oh, certainly folks can have life-changing visions, regardless of how real the experience of a seeming afterlife vision. After all, just having a brush with mortality can do that.

Happy Jesus' birthday celebration week!
Over 150 comments? Time for my weekly wall o' text, then.

Mallflower: I would think that a guy who could turn water into wine and raise someone from the dead wouldn't need power tools to make a table and some chairs.
Mike Hammer: Carpentry was only one step removed from blacksmithing in the context of physical effort. A lot of hammering, chiseling, etc.
