June has been pretty uneventful. I still haven't found a job. I've applied for a few and I suppose I'll keep applying until I get one. I've started working on a website for my grandmother. She wants to start selling her peanut brittle online. I've decided that original sin is the part of christianity I dislike the most. I watched "Hidden Fortress" and was pleased with the film and was giddy at the number of new reasons it gave me to continue disliking George Lucas. That was until I watched "Yojimbo" and discovered that unless I wanted to be a hypocrite I would have to start disliking Sergio Leone as he did in tenfold excess what Lucas did. Disliking Leone is not something I'm prepared to do so I guess for now George is safe. He just better pray by the hair on his jowly-jowl-jowls that the fourth film he makes about Indiana Jones doesn't suck as much as the forth film he made about whoever the hell the main character in Star Wars is.

Jar Jar Binks was the main character, and the force.
What's kind of funny is that the particualar sect of Christianity I grew up in basically rejects the concept of original sin.
I miss you and we need to fucking hang out.
Jared: Yeah, and the force comes from Midi-chlorians, which I like to think of as stem cells...with ninja powers!
Jason: If there's no origional sin then there is no reason for jesus to come to Earth and save everyone from said sin. And no jesus CHRITST means no CHRISTianity...right? So how can you be a christian that doesn't believe in origional sin!?! That's my question.
Well, one of the main tennents of the original sin doctrine is that man is born sinful, ie, sinfull at birth. Hence infant baptism and all that jazz. I was raised with the idea that there's an "age of accountability", an age where a young mind has reached enough maturity to know the difference between right and wrong. Once one willfully chooses sin they are accountable for it. Thus all men are sinful, it's just at a different point that my old church accepts that.
It's very, very tricky. And it's sort of weird sticky stuff that has made me step back and try and figure out the hell's going on.
I'm surprised no one commented about the peanut brittle. haha Who's gonna buy peanut brittle online?
