Bon Jovi rocks. On occasion.

So today is a bad day again. I mean, 40 thousand crabs were found randomly dead, just like the fish and birds that randomly died. If that doesn't shout "Apocalypse", then I don't know what does. So, smoke 'em if you got 'em I suppose.

That was two Supernatural quotes in less than a minute's worth of writing. I am on a ROLL.

So, anyway. Today, I've got kind of a touchy topic. Stay with me on it though. Okay? Okay.

So, I'm an hour out of going to pick up my tarot cards that I ordered online. However, on the last Census, I checked off the "Christian" box. There are so many people whose eyes would slither out of their sockets if they thought of a Christian even looking at tarot cards.

So. Am I a bad Christian?

Actually, that's not a good question. Thinking about it, tarot cards are way down on a list of things that make me a bad Christian. Let's go through them shall we? (Stick with me. I'm trying to make a political statement, I swear).

1. I support gay rights more than Elton John does.

(Side note: I once straight up asked our minister why our church didn't allow gay marriages to be performed there. That makes me either a total bitch, or a badass. Your choice).

2. Being friends with someone who is Pagan, I've looked through my share of spellbooks.

3. I haven't been to church in.... well, a long time.

4. When I do go to church, I never pay attention to the sermon. I'm pretty sure that's a sin.

5. I refer to the book of Revelation as "John's Acid Trip". That's probably a sin too.

6. I'm going to pick up my pack of tarot cards because I'm extremely interested in tarot readings and whatnot.

7. I've got some beef with the Pope and his whole shitshow.

I believe my point has been made.

So. Does that all make me a bad Christian?

How I see it, I'm actually a good Christian. That may be called justification of bad behaviour though. I'm not a good example of anything, really.

Anyway. Though I haven't read the bible, from what I've heard, the basic gist is to not be an asshole, and don't covet thy neighbors ass.


So. My point is that not all Christians are crazy bible thumpers that secretly listen to Prince. Christians have been getting a pretty bad rep as of late. Give us a chance, yeah?

On another more 90s and screamo note, I'm going to prostitute myself to get the cash to go see Linkin Park, who are coming to Toronto. The things I do for concerts probably don't make me a very good Christian either.

Seriously though. Chester can actually sing. And they used an Oppenheimer quote in one of their songs. C'MON. They can't be all bad. Give them a chance, too? And peace. Give peace a chance too.

Love,
Megan
