Peaches comes over to discuss why she hates the Bible. Emmi
has a runny nose and it falls to me to take care of the lass. It is
gross beyond description. Turns out that the Bible is not a Jedi
mind trick. We discuss whether or not we can believe this without
destroying our Christian faith. While we talk, Emmi ransacks the
room with astonishing quickness and efficiency. Peaches says being
nice to people won't necessarily make them love Jesus. That's great
news because she's rarely nice to people anyway. I'm not sure about
praying for other people's salvation. We talk a little bit
about Calvinism, Carl. So...be prepared...
We ask the question, "should we ask questions?" The goal of
many Christians is to provide answers and asking questions
demonstrates a lack of faith. But that's not what we think. Of
course, we could be wrong. But we probably aren't. What do you
think?
We also discuss the role of women in the church. So if you
aren't angry with us about Calvinism, you can be angry about this.
So which things are absolutely essential to Christianity? Emmi
probably explains it but she talks like a baby so we can't
understand her. I may upset Grandma Turbo with some stuff I say and
that will be a problem because everybody likes her more than me.
Peaches says women are like truck engines. She is SO OFFENSIVE I
CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
Emmi interrupts our important conversation with peek-a-boo.
It's adorable but terribly distracting. There is a video on the
blog.
I'm doing an apologetics conference with Peter Heck on May
12th. You might want to come to it! And do you plan to see 'The
Shack', Carl? We probably will but might wait until it's on
DVD.
Then, Timothy shows up and tells us his plans to become Mayor
of Kokomo. He is very passionate and optimistic. He's also far too
honest to be successful in politics. We go back and forth about
smoking in bars. We even mention walrus in jet-packs. The boy is a
shoe-in.
