cleverly disguised as a responsible adult

There are times when I think I should have a tape recorder constantly running. Most of what I say or hear is unworthy of taking up valuable brain space. Sometimes, however, I wish I could have something on endless loop. *grin*


So there I am, sitting over in Babcock with jrug and having some ice cream. He asks what I'm reading, I show him the book (To Reign in Hell by Steven Brust) and comment that I'm going to just return it to the library tonight because I've gotten about 75 pages into a 280-page book and I'm still neither into it nor enjoying it. This brought up a conversation that I had with downwood this weekend about the Ten Commandments.

If you keep in mind that I'm a lapsed Catholic and jrug's a lapsed Catholic-Episcopalian-turned agnostic, the following exchange is even funnier.

Me: So the Protestants have "I am the Lord, your God" as the first commandment while the Catholics have it as the Zeroth Law of God Dynamics.
Him: *laughing*
Me: I mean, the text even includes "I am a jealous God." I can respect that.
Him: *takes a drink of water*
Me: I like the Old Testament God - I understand him better than the happy, fluffy, Jesus-bunny God of the New Testament.
Him: *nearly snorts water out his nose*
Both: *much laughter*
Me: Ow, I think something in my head just went *snap*
Him: Hm, that calls for Krazy Glue.
Me: *helpless giggles*



Okay, maybe you just had to be there.

Heh...Jesus-bunny God....

*giggles*

EDIT: jrug posted his take of the conversation in his journal. The title to his entry trumps mine by several orders of magnitude.

*more giggles*
