I am not proud of my kids.... My son came from down South to visit us for the Holidays and last night he told us a story....

He said he walked into a strip bar for the first time! And two strippers grabbed him by the arms, one on each arm, saying Johnny!!!! How's Mr. Daisy your cat??? They are identical twins, he was flabbergasted that not only did the strippers know his twin by name, but they knew his cat too!!! He tried to correct them by telling them that he was Douggie not Johnny! While he was telling us this story, little Johnny told us that he dropped $3000.00 on those strppers that week so that's why he was so well known!! I am a Christian I am not proud of my kids...My son told me that the first time he went there his conciences did bother him and the stripper asked him what was wrong, and he said well my mom is a Christian and she wouldn't approve.

What Jesus said to the adulterous woman:

"Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, ‘Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.’ Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.

Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Rabi." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and sin no more."

John 8:6-9

@badminton I know some good Dr Seuss stories too, since you seem to be an avid reader of fiction

@badminton I don't believe in the supernatural interpretation of religion. I read the bible as literature. Some sections are beautifully written. The Psalms are great.

@OrionInTheNight I think you missed the point.

@OrionInTheNight That passage from the book of John is a parable. No miracles, no magic. It describes a moral choice. Jesus defends the woman, and challenges the men to examine their own actions.
