#The wheels on the bus go….#
Hello!
Feeling a little chirpy today. No reason for it, although the sunshine is a welcome addition to the morning.
I went to Stroud on Saturday. £3.90 for a return bus ticket! Tis extortion. And, apparently, the price is going up, significantly. Not that you lot care.
I didn't get lost, despite the negative, evil side of my brain saying I would. Didn't buy anything either. Lesson learnt: Not wise to turn up at a farmers market half way through the day, tis a depressing sight. But not for the stall holders, I'm sure.
Instead, I bought some stuff in Gloucester town centre. It wasn't the greatest of days out, but it was a day out of the house, and that matters. A vast quantity of alcohol was then drunk that night. I really shouldn't have done that, but I did.
Sunday: boring.
Monday: ditto.
Today: probably much the same, except for the fact that I have another GamePass credit to spend. Yeah!
Warning: If easily offended, or if religious subjects bore you to tears, you'd better stop reading this right away! Don't go any further. Go read the paper or something, like a cereal packet perhaps.Been reading the old book again. Started at the beginning, as one would normally do with any book. I'm confident that that would be sighed upon by certain individuals. That I should read the thing in the way they say, learning about the life and times of Jesus and what have you. But I'm not reading the thing to believe and/or gain guidance.One thing, at least one anyway, has got me thinking. Tis about a particular part of Genesis. OK, so we are to believe Adam was created by God, and Eve was created from Adam's rib, although it doesn't say that first:
(Oh cripes! Now I'm quoting directly from the thing.)
It may not be exactly the same words used in the copy of your version, that's cos it's a simpletons version. Of which I can actually make sense. I can't keep sticking my hand up and asking: "Please sir, what does that mean?" Besides I had enough of thee and thou stuff from reading witchy matters; "Let's make our spells sound really old by inappropriate use of old words that we don't really understand."
I could potentially get so much flack from very different sides of the religious spectrum about this post. I don't care.
Genesis 1:25
So God created man
in his own image,
in the image of God
he created him;
male and female
he created them.
Anyway, they were the first two humans, right?! Then they had children, two sons, Cain and Abel, but bloody things were about to occur and Abel wasn't going to be about for too long.
Then there's mention of Cain's wife, and I'm thinking: where did she come from?? Is she offspring of the first man and woman? Incest?! So early on? Either there was something right dodgy about the situation, or someone cocked up on the editing. :-p
Feel free to put me in my place, or just shout out loud. Easy on the death threats tho.
