Day 2: Yea, though I walk through the valley of ignorance
Last night I dreamed: that one of the major religions in the world (one currently embroiled in strife) was, in fact, a race of aliens visiting the earth. A delegation of these aliens were given a special welcome at a local high school where they were kind, benevolent, and constantly smiling -- and horribly disfigured in human terms. In the dream, though, they didn't seem all that different to me.
The bad news is: The Taliban offers cash as recruitment. The BBC reports that "in the past year, the fighting has intensified, producing the worst casualty figures since 2001." So, while we may have routed the Taliban, the country is still rocked by poverty. "They gave me a salary, new clothes, shoes, a motorbike and a Kalashnikov rifle. I had to go and fight where they told me for seven or eight days a month," one fighter told the BBC.
The good news is: Aschool board in one of the most conservative counties in New Jersey has refused to bow to pressure from a small group of parents who demanded the removal of a transgendered teacher, reported 365Gay.com. One parent said that having a transgendered person teaching his children violated his religious beliefs. But most praised the teacher, calling her "well liked by children and an asset to the school system."
May you live in interesting times: REAL Messages from actual church signs:
"Tired of Being a Loser? Turn to God."
"Santa Claus Never Died for Anyone."
"If you think it's hot here, imagine Hell."
"You Won't Be Too Busy to Die."
"Stop Drop and Roll Doesn't Work in Hell."
"Go Bush Go / Praise the Lord / Pass the Amo"
"A Free Thinker is Satan's Slave."
"Where is God? We'll show you or pay $10."
"Easter is more than something to dye for."
"The Invasion Has Begun."
"Don't be so open-minded your brains fall out."
"Friends don't let Friends go to Hell."
"Don't Make me Come Down There -- God."
"We use duct tape to fix everything. God used nails."
"Ask us about our vow of silence."
-- I can't decide what's more disturbing -- the awful jokes and puns or the troubling messages the signs send. And those are just some of the best ones. Check out the link for more. -- C.H.
