Status

This status is to raise awareness. Specifically, awareness of my awareness. It tells you I care about social justice, and am politically aware, and does so in the most efficient possible way.

The most efficient way being the way in which I don’t have to actually do anything.

I won’t give time, I won’t give money. I’ll change my Facebook to reflect a contemporary social issue, and it’s unreasonable to expect me to do more.

Copy this to your Facebook if you believe things, but not strongly enough to come up with unique phrasing.

And thus: Increase your Facebook status.

The Day After Tomorrow

Admittedly, it was horrible.

Teachers, pilots, firefighters, nurses, there were more gentle, decent believers living the teachings of Christ than anyone expected. And when the rapture came there was more chaos than I’d have thought possible.

Still, humans are resilient, and we work well together. By afternoon we’d stemmed the worst of the damage and were thinking about how to rebuild.

And, I must admit, when Sunday arrived and all the “Christians” who’d spent so many years spreading so much hate against so many strangers were forced onto talkshows to explain why they’d been left behind…

…I couldn’t help smiling.
