Stumble it!Holier than thou… God-Damnit!
posted in Religion by themaiden |Holier because I’ve traveled the Holy Highway more times than I can count.
Members of Christian groups along the I-35 corridor said the highway was mentioned in the Bible, and in order to fulfill a prophecy, it needs a little saving first.
…Christians said the Old Testament’s book of Isaiah prophesizes I-35 will be the United States’ “Highway of Holiness.”
Isaiah 35:8 reads: “And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it.”
“Everything we do, we want to make sure scripture is backing us up,” said Austin’s PromiseLand Church Pastor Charlie Lujan. “I-35 being Isaiah 35, it just matched.”
Religious Groups Believe I-35 Is Holy Highway Mentioned in Bible
Don’t you love what religion does to the brain? “Isaiah 35… Oh! I-35… the Interstate! Of course!”
Never mind that in Hebrew– ummm, the language in which the Old Testament was written for those convinced that it was composed in early modern English– Isaiah 35 doesn’t look much like I-35 at all.
Never mind that the ‘unclean’ have, can and do journey on it. Take me as an example. Or take all those bad folks who head down the holy highway on their way to the bars and clubs, and head back home via the holy highway half drunk and with a total stranger picked up for the purpose of sex– sometimes a stranger or two, sometimes a stranger of the same sex. Honestly, doesn’t that blow the damned ‘prophecy’?

On the other hand, for a B-sci-fi fan there is something attractive about zombie worship and monsters, and we all wanna smack that bitch up sometimes don’t we? We mustn’t have any naked people, or even any not really naked at all people, running around though. That is sinful. We do like our chicken blood from time to time and certainly want to save the children from the gays. I guess that is all well and good. Better than being a damned atheist, right? At least God will keep us from off-ing ourselves and he’ll keep the gays from raping our kids. Without Him we haven’t the sense to tie our shoes, you know. And things are just better with religion anyway.
But then I’m a bad, bad person. Oh well, I guess I’d better go convert now before Armageddon arrives, God’s magic kicks in and the armies of God start taking potshots at me.
