chewing on it

The conversation went something like this.

He: "I read your latest blog entry and you are blasphemous."

Me: "Blasphemous?"

He: "Yes, you are a blaspheme."

Me: "Huh, you think."

He: "What else would you be, if you relish the idea of sinning."

Me: "Eating fruit is hardly a sin."

He: "It is a metaphor."

Me: "Aha! Then you admit the Bible is not literal; some would consider that blasphemous."

He: "Not the same. Where do you stand on Cain?"

Me: "I don't think he should have murdered his brother, but I can see why he was pissed when God trashed his offering."

He: "And the prodigal son?"

Me: "Why couldn't the father throw them both a party, why do Bible stories continually reinforce bad parenting?"

He: "Yup, blasphemous, but charming all the same."

I just call it like I see it.
