Going Straight to Hell
I don't know how many Christian bible translations there are, but every time I learn of a new one, I am immediately skeptical. How many times can you re-interpret the text into "contemporary" language?
How well to the "Extreme Teen" editions sell?
Do you need a hot pink leather-bound edition?
If you are that concerned with how your bible looks, aren't you missing the point?
Yep, I spent a significant amount of time doing inventory in that part of the book store yesterday.
We are such a capitalist entity. If you want it, we are thrilled to sell it to you.
A lot of people think book stores are libraries. That's not at all true. Libraries are about access and preservation. Book stores are about profitability per square foot. If it's not selling, let's make room for something that will.
I also have ADD… so back to my original train of thought:
Do other religions allow for the same number of interpretations of their sacred texts? Somehow I think not.
I was amused that some bibles had a "think" logo on the spines. I find it horribly ironic. The goal of Christian organizations is to get you to behave in ways culturally defined as Christian. What they are thinking of, if anything, are new ways to appeal to you—to get you in the fold and keep you.
I let my subscription expire.
I am first and foremost a human. I am here to live a human, earthly experience. I will not supress my humanity or the things that make me unique.
I'm thinking about learning tantra. That may be a way for me.

OH tantra...that would be interesting darling. Make sure you "fill" me in on it. Kisses!
Need a study partner? I'm willing to be a test subject!
wow serenity, we always seem to be on the same wave-length ;D
Great minds think alike! ;-) hey, I've always studied best in groups...Tantra Study Group ~ apply at....think it'd work soulless?
ohhhh, sign me up!!!
The two of you might be too much for any one man!
Sorry to leave this in a comment, but I couldn't find a email address on your main page. Feel free to delete this - I won't take offense!
This is just a short note to let you know that Kinky Bitch is blogging again. Unfortunately, the old domain name has been hijacked for free advertising, but I've restored the old archives at http://kinkybitchblog.blogspot.com/ Which is where it will probably stay.
I'm trying to email any old readers I can find so feel free to help me spread the word if you know any one that read. Thanks & Sorry for the long absence!

PS: I totally have nothing to do with the blog that is linked at my former domain name. I'm not even into that.
oh but what a way to go......
KinkyB, I picked up your RSS feed!
Serenity, what am I gonna do with you?
Wanna find out if we are Soulless? I think Serentiy and I could come up with something to make it worth you time. ;D
Preach on, brother man, alas, I am the choir.
I want a hot pink leather bound one with little handcuffs that lock it together like a secret hot kinky diary. Then I would leave it about so someone would steal it, only to open it and find Jesus instead.
Well, that might be better for them, anyway. Ok, I'm lying.
Hmmm...
Speaking of Jesus, I invoke his name often while in the throes...
Oh yeah, and the church down the street had a sign reminding us that Jesus came for us all.
I am *so* going straight to hell.
