here is another ode...

to the bumper sticker:

dear miss, who has the bumper sticker that reads 'next time you think that you are perfect, try walking on water.'

i assume that you are making some reference to christ. with that in mind...

what is perfection? some sort of actuality of existence, maybe? let's go with your assumption that christ did/does exist.

i am able, as a human being, to only attain a certain amount of existence. and once i attain that...i am perfect. i am unable to move beyond that. you might as well be saying...if you think that you are perfect, turn into an elm tree. meaning, that it is not in my nature to 'walk on water.'

so with the nature that i am given, i am unable to attain that. i am unable to move beyond. to defy my nature. so it is in christ's nature to 'walk on water.' what if he didn't do that? would he be defying his nature? and what if he did defy his nature? wow. that's a heavy one.

and to all the 'christ sticker' fans out there...you know who you are. the ones with all the christ stickers. the ones with the christ vanity plates (who i hate the most)...i'm not going to find salvation from being behind you in traffic, and reading your freaking stickers. so stop. i don't care that you're a jesus freak, because that is what you are saying. and if you are able to simplify your deepest beliefs, the core of your beliefs, the core of who you are...to a simple bumper sticker of a few words...you are pathetic, in the deepest sense.

by the way...i am perfect...but what is perfection?

[shalom...]
