Not a lot happening today, but the sun is out. It’s stuck at 32 degrees so nothing is going to melt. I’ve been driving around this morning and everywhere there are mountains of snow piled up. I didn’t take any pictures it was too cold. It will all still be here next week anyway. It’s just going to stay the same miserably cold with no end for a while. We’re still in January and this normally happens in February. We’ll probably be getting snow storms in April. I’m not a fan.
In the UK they have just appointed a brand new Archbishop of Canterbury. Sarah Mullally, 63, became the archbishop of Canterbury, making her the first woman to lead the Church of England. The worldwide Anglican Communion, which includes the Episcopal Church in the U.S., has no formal head, but the archbishop traditionally has been seen as its spiritual leader.
If you look this up on Wikipedia it says this, “The first archbishop was Augustine of Canterbury, the “Apostle to the English”, who was sent to England by Pope Gregory the Great and arrived in 597. From Augustine until William Warham the archbishops of Canterbury were in full communion with the Catholic Church. During the English Reformation, King Henry VIII broke communion with Rome and proclaimed himself the head of the Church of England.” I guess Charles is the head of the Church of England now. Mullally has dyslexia and has said she finds it difficult to read out biblical genealogies. She was formerly the Bishop of London.
“Jesus is a fact! You can’t run away from Jesus.”
I don’t care. Religion is fine, but after having an aunt who was a rabid Seventh Day Adventist I’m not too sure about the motivation of these people sometimes. I almost became Hazel Motes because of it. I know what the motivation is supposed to be, but the techniques are questionable when you’re walking around declaring that you know every fucking thing about the world and the universe and what have you. Dogmatic religious rigidity is a hinderance to evolution if you ask me. Looking at every religion in the world they all have some flaws, some of them worse than others.
“I’m a member and preacher to that church where the blind don’t see and the lame don’t walk and what’s dead stays that way.”
Some of them are positively evil, so if you’re gonna talk about religion, start with what’s good and what’s bad, which by the way, only exists in earth bound minds. Outside of this planet there is no good or evil in the endless universe as far as we know, and time does not exist. It’s all very interesting. Based on that assumption you kind of have to believe that what happens here on earth is irrelevant outside of it. We just have to make sense and deal with it the best we can.
ps, I’m not an expert and nobody is.
Good Day.
