The Western religious mind has such a difficult time with the life of freedom Jesus opened up to us all, because it is a mind that has been shaped by doctrine/law/absolutes. A lot of this we can thank Modernity for. It gave rise to the "expert" that was dumped on us and whom we are now surrounded by. We have been told they can explain everything to us. The evidence of there being a big problem with all of this is all around us.
I watch very little TV but I do catch Food Network fairly regularly. There is a particular program that highlights food experts on a regular basis. The other day I saw them interview a Baked Bean Expert. I can handle a Baked Bean Expert but I think I will pass on the Religious Experts and Economic Experts and Political Experts.

I get really irritated at the stupid propensity of people to always want a king so they don't have to think for themselves.
Which sounds very critical ... I suppose it is! But it just demonstrates how patently stupid this system tries to make us - and how quickly we are to swallow it. Why do we denigrate ourselves so easily? It maketh me saddeth, Kentster.
I think I'll take the Baked Bean Expert over the Religious Expert too. Do you think the BBE has business cards?
Sue, I really thought you would appreciate this one. It's good to see I was correct.
And I am sure the BBE has a business card. I can't help you though in locating him. Sorry.
Sue, I'm watching the program right now and had to sign on here and let you know about the Hot Dog Cart Expert. Some many things to learn about HDCs
Well you should take notes, Kentster. It wouldn't take long, surely, to become a Hot Dog Cart Expert. It could be a new career move for you!!
What is a hot dog cart anyway?
this particular episode was about famous "street food"
They were in New York City...it's a cart that one can carry, heat, and serve hot dogs from.
Pretty self explanatory when you think about it, isn't it ;)
My brain doth be dust today
wonder why it requires one be an expert on the subject? Hmmmmmmm.......
Beans, Beans, the musical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot,
The more you toot, the better you feel,
So let's eat beans at every meal.
People have always said I was a very religious person, I guess this poem proves it.
No......it means you are a bean expert
LOL Dan
Do you think God laughs when we fart? I mean, he invented a body that does such a thing, such a bizarre part of our anatomy :) God is a weirdo :)
Sue, look what he just linked to on my facebook

the good news is that amongst my friends Baked Bean Experts are more interesting than Religious Experts. I like that.
Haha :) Chewing gum does make you fart. That ad has just totally put me off eating any :)
Yeah, I'd listen to a sermon from a Baked Bean Expert beofore a Religious Expert :)
Sue, maybe you could work on a creative writing project on the subject? :)

hehe
LOL Maybe! Hell, I write about poo way too often. May as well write an ode to farts as well.
Speaking of such things, I am creatively constipated at the moment :) It's a bit frustrating but it's just par for the course. I have a big block of clay sitting there so long it's dried out. A really cool idea I have for it, too. But have laid it down and not done anything with it for several months. It's very strange the way we do that.
I need to eat some creative baked beans :) Maybe I'll go and read up and see what the experts have to say about getting back on the creativity wagon :)
