A wet fagot

with a title like that what do you expect?

bash?
trash?
support?
claim?
identify?
jest?

be warned this may offend you, but maybe not, they are just words.

If you are the average person, then, YOU DON'T KNOW what THOSE words Mean.

Words lie! That is hard for me to say.

Words are so important to me, and crafting them together to express emotions keeps me sane, but words lie, cheat and change.

Well words don't change themselves but HOW they are used and WHEN they are used change. So people do it.

We all know that in about 1920 if you were a 'gay fellow' or having a 'gay old time' it meant a happy thing, now kids use the phrase "that's gay" to show displeasure in 'that'. Please note that there is no sexuality in either usage of "that" word.

If Fearful is full of fear, is awful full of awe?

and what is a Banger?


What is a Mash?


Then what is a headbanger, it certainly could not be some one that listens to Metallica.


And whiskey and scotch are made from what? potatoes?


People go on about how its "in the Bible," read the bible, go to your religious leader or go to a bible study group.
I can't, I've tried a few times but the words, I know the words lie.

Written down after the fact,
You know, of course, there were many, many more writings that were not included (look up "canon of scripture").
Its original words and language are not even around today.

So we have a translation of a language no longer around, to a language currently around, though generations of people without photocopiers.

While all of this is going on words are changing.
Changing meaning, (Kleenex or a tissue?)
changing usage, (Tissue as in toilet paper?)
change spelling (cheque, or check, color or colour)

So those religions that rely on written word, rely upon lies, or at the very least, relying on a person to interpret something correctly, not comfortable with that, then relying on the ever changing usage of words.

Rely on others to interpret for you, are you OK with that?

Thats it, I'm off my soapbox, you can choose to blindly follow the interpretations of others, or not, either way you should choose based on information not emotional dogma that has been forced down your throat since before you could talk.

One more thing:
You should stop lying to yourself as quickly as you would pull a wet fagot out of the fire.


Fagot (pronounced [fag-uh t]
-noun
a bundle of sticks, twigs, or branches bound together and used as fuel [such as in a fire], a torch, etc.

  1. It's good to have context (our conversation), but I think I would have equally enjoyed this without a pre-defined notion of what I was about to read. I find quite often (these days) that as people try to communicate with one another, it's the interpretation of the words which can either soothe or enrage. I am not immune.
