Vidding & Messiah Figures (not simultaneously).

[beccatoria]

I HAVE STARTED VIDDING AGAIN.

...curse you Razor. At least this one is comparatively short. I don't think I could spend much more time in the company of Cain, Gina and Kendra without becoming woefully depressed.

Though I was pretty damn woeful this morning. But I think that had more to do with going to back to work after a crummy night's sleep than anything else.

Also: I probably shouldn't admit this, but the whole Jesus story; I can appreciate it from a distance. I understand that it's an awesome thing and all. But I don't get it in my gut. I don't really understand the appeal.

But show me Superman stories and suddenly I understand the appeal of a Messiah and self-sacrifice and faith and being a goody-two-shoes despite harrowing circumstances a whole lot better.

I could admit that there's probably something wrong with me, but I prefer to blame my parents who raised me Unitarian and then accidentally convinced me as a toddler than when people died their disembodied heads went to a big room in the sky.

I'd never tell my mother that while I believe in Jesus, what he stood for, and his sacrifice, I have a hard time buying into the immaculate conception. See you in hell! ;)

And YAY! to the vidding. :)

I love the way that come this time of year people who dont have a religous bone in their body (soul? whatever) start spouting crap about the "True Meaning of Christmas"

Ive been rabbidly digesting the DUNE novels this x-mas, so jesus does come across as being a bit dull compared to Genetically modified Omnisciencent messiahs/ all seeing emperors of millions of worlds.

Personally id rather believe in Santa.

The DUNE series is great - though I'm very leary of the new books by Kevin J Anderson. I have bad flashbacks to his time in the Star Wars franchise and the fact he once compared writing for Star Wars to the literary equivalent of flipping burgers. But the originals are awesome.

Though those genetically modified omniscient messiah-figures are sort of played in a political, calculating fashion. Which while it's a story I totally appreciate sort of isn't what I meant with Superman?

Superman I just understand in the perhaps childish, but very emotional, "ZOMG, this entity of PURE GOOD just came to save ME," awe. Which I imagine is what devout Christians experience with regards to Jesus. Which is pretty cool really; I just think it might say something about me that it takes a comic book character not a 2000 year old massively important piece of history/story to get that response.

Personally id rather believe in Santa.

I dunno, the idea of Superman flying around the world giving presents to small children is kind of awesome... ;)
