All this time I thought the Church was selling a methodology. "Here's
how to be a cool weirdo."
No. NO.
The Church isn't selling anything. The Church is saying "Here's how
we're weird, we think it's cool, figure out your own way." In essence,
the Church is one big call of "Dibs!"
Christ, took me long enough.
Incidentally, iDRMRSR, you were right. Youngstown blew hard, and it
blew long, and I ended up in Cleveland anyway.

You mean no guaranteed salvation or triple my money back? I haven't felt so
disillusioned since the first time I actually read the bible.

I didn't feel disillusioned, I felt strangely vindicated. Mind you, that's
probably how most everyone feels when they read the bible, riddled with
preconceptions as we are. Also, probably like most everyone else, I didn't
read the whole thing.

Oh, you CAN buy salvation; you just might not be wild about our version
of it. The Church mainly offers pogo-stick salvation: you're saved, but
you still have to jump up & down to make it work.

I think of more as Teeter-Tawter Salvation.
But, it depends on your interpretation of the the entrails from the last Head
Launching.

If you claim to "get it", then you obviously have not "Gotten it" yet.
The Church is selling everything and nothing!
Just look at the CafePress Store!

when I was growing up I really fucking hated the cool kids. Not
specifically or in particular but just the whole idea of there being
the cool kid's group. It wasn't even really the idea that I might not
be allowed into the cool kid's group, it wasn't that. Just the idea
of it made my skin crawl.
So gradually I drifted into friendships with people who also thought
the whole idea of trying to be cool enough to be in the cool kids
group was a gigantic wank at a rolling tire iron and we had great
times together without worrying about that stupid shit.
and pretty soon all the cool kids noticed that there was this group of
people who seemed to always have a great time. COOL, they thought.
So then with freight-train inevitability they started trying to be in
the group that was SO cool it didn't even have to BE cool. And the
new cool kids were cool beyond belief they were so not cool.
and naturally pretty soon this group of people started to kind of peck
into some kind of order and lo and behold it was a cool kid's club.
which naturally inevitably became the biggest cool kid's club of them
all.
my point being, take your dibs and fuck the fuck off with them.

So you're saying that I'm either cool, or I'm not not cool enough to be
not cool?
Thanks for clearing that up.

"Bob" is really telling you to huff more glue and/or gasoline. Then you'll
be cool.
