Emile the Wonderful spoke in Loving Terms...so much so that I feel positively BATHED in the "spirit". Here is but one example which points to his overwhelming compassion: "He does want you, but he wants you to come in reality and love." Well, "he" (you know, the long haired caucasion in the velvet painting adorning the living room of so many pre-fab homes) can come over and have a beer with me any day! I dare wager Jesus is a "light" beer kind of guy. I dare say he needs to pay attention to those drop dead looks.(although a little faggoty don't you think?) Yeah, that's the ticket, we'll just refer to "him" in the future as "Mr. Drop Dead Gorgeous but Slightly Feminine Faggoty Lookin Guy", and you know, the guy is in no way a Jew, cuz he don't have one of those soup bowls on his head and his nose isn't big enough and he has absolutely *NO* braided gold jewelry on. (so much for the stereotypes) Yeah, I could kind of buy this guy being the son of god, Mr. "I can get it for ya wholesale" you know, the "big cheese", the "main man". What kind of nonsense are you selling here when you tell *ME* that I must suffer to atone for *MY* sins????? "Jesus offers healing for both the soul and body. You are faced with a serious illness." Thank you Emile, I was beginning to wonder there....oh, going on TWO YEARS ago, when I was first informed of my biopsy results. Now that you have diagnosed my illness as "serious", what next? Shall I cover myself in ashes and do a little buck dance for you, hmmmm? Ha! "You put your trust in the skilled hands of a physician and science, and if they fail you must look for something else to put your trust." Well, sadly, I consented to the dubious methodologies of the day....one goes for the first boat out of harbor when skies are threatening. If you had been there for me to reach your hand in my groin and pull out a chicken liver like some of the *real* healers do, I would've probably been grateful. Fact is I believe in self-redemption of a sort. I set out to be a good example of a "cancer patient", and when the worst was over I was resolved to not wear the label "cancer survivor", just like I do not wear the label of "burn victim" or "manic depressive". I am kind of partial to Hubert though....and if you will take your crusade elsewhere, I will forgive you for being an insufferable ass...deal? Cheers!
