Here’s how it came about:
I was joking with
“The Congregation”
at THE LOCAL
about starting a
FACEBOOK-like Social Media Network
for Lisping-Gay-Christians
and calling it
FAITHBOOK.
Thay it for yourthelf:
FAITHBOOK.
So stereotypical and sexist,
but funny & correct.
Before I was to invest
too much time,
energy,
or money into this endeavor,
I decided to
go to “the googles”
to make sure
this was an original idea.
Well! There is a FAITHBOOK already!
Being the
Captain of the Good Ship:
“GO WITH THE FLOW”,
I looked into it,
joined under the name
SISTER LOUISA,
and posted
Assloads of images
of SISTER LOUISA ART.
I was curious about
how “FAITHBOOKers” would
respond to “her” art,
to “her” world view,
to the simultaneous
magnitude and doubt
of “her” faith.
I didn’t have to ACTUALLY start FAITHBOOK
to have my fun with it!
(I, who has seriously thought of marketing
SISTER LOUISA’S “WHERE’S YOUR FAITH?” CONDOMS
with the end bitten off of them!)
My FAITHBOOK comments
to SISTER LOUISA ART
have been primarily positive and welcoming,
but the apparent
Father of all Faithful FAITHBOOKer’s
seemed disturbed:
“you are the scum of the earth. you are one gross person. you are ruled by satan. you are probably an unsaved catholic. You must be born again. you are a real SICKO.”
Silently pleased that people were grappling
with the meaning behind “her” art,
both stunned and smiling,
SISTER LOUISA’S response
was:
“…and May Peace Be With You Also…”.
(I learned to say that in Seminary.)
jaj ajajjaja jaa ja
It IS comforting to know
that we are all the same,
we all make good and bad choices,
that even ”’Self-Professed Christians”
are imperfect.
Please join me in singing hymn #666:
WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT, WE ARE ONE IN THE LAUD.
“and may peace be with you also….”
