Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

So blog, we meet again...
I'm sure all 1 of my readers can tell I'm just not into this anymore. I'm not sure why-this used to be my go to place to empty my head and feel better. Now, with the way I've been feeling, it seems too....real. Like, if I write down what I'm feeling that will make it real and I will have to deal with it.
So who knows. I may keep it up, I may just take a big break, I may totally quit. Time will tell. But, to all 1 of you, thank you for reading. With any luck I'll find my random voice again and be able to empty my head as needed.

The sads
For quite a while now I have had the same dream on repeat-one way or the other I am unable to get home, for various reasons, and need to call someone for help. I finally looked it up tonight-
"To dream that you cannot find your way home, indicates that you have lost faith and belief in yourself. It may also signify a major transition in your life. "
It makes me sad to realize that so much of myself was wrapped up in a stupid job I hated anyway.

Son of a bitch
Just realized it's 9/11. Why yes, I have been living under a rock, thanks for asking.
It's actually a quite heavy rock, weighed down with things such as "unemployment", "depression", and "am I a good parent?"
I'm bummed that I spaced this day and didn't take part in Project 2,996 like I did last year.
To all we lost, you will never be forgotten.

Say what?
So all week long I have had the phrase "vagina wags" in my head. I couldn't figure out where the hell I had heard such a thing. Lamebook? The Bloggess?
This morning I said to Hubbs "I have the phrase vagina wags stuck in my head and I can't figure out what the hell it's from."
"Don't you remember when we took our mini vacay to Winnemucca and we were drunk, walking back to the hotel, and we rearranged the sign advertising that night's band and meal special? All we could come up with was vagina wags."
Good times man. Good times.

Heavy sigh....
There are no jobs in this town. None. If I'm lucky, I maybe find 1 a week that I'm qualified for. And no luck so far. I've never not been offered a job I've interviewed for, so this has been a little damaging to my self esteem. I'm trying very hard to embrace my inner housewife, but jesus. I want to work!
***************************************************************************************
My daughter-in-law's mother died. She was an awesome woman. She was a mother to my son, and she worked hard at keeping her family together. She had a talk with my son, regarding some anger he had towards me, and she told him "You need to grow up. Maybe your mom does too, but you need to grow up. Family is the most important thing, and you have to let go of past hurts." I have her to thank for my son wanting to build our relationship again. She will be missed.
*************************************************************************************
Youngest is still grounded. Mr. thinks he can smoke. But he won a scholarship to a weekend camp a while back, so he'll be gone this weekend. Give Hubbs and I a chance to spend some time together. Much needed time, I might add.
************************************************************************************
Several years back, when I wasn't working, I kind of started flipping out. It culminated one day when I destroyed my house and tried to stab myself in the arm. Crazy bitch. Anyway, I felt myself slipping back into that kind of crazy. But once I decided to embrace my inner housewife, those feelings lessened. Make the best of my situation I suppose.
************************************************************************************
And on that note, have a wonderful holiday weekend!
