I came across a Yahoo entertainment entitled “cheat on your husband (with your husband)” – not the full title to be sure. It is a how to. No graphic pictures. Just talking heads. (Get yer minds out of the gutters – or did I just put them there? No matter.)
A commenter posted this in reply to another commenter:
….marriage on earth is only on earth. in heaven the church will be the bride and jesus the groom. we will not be in heaven with our spouse as husband and wife. there is a earthly marriage and a heavenly marriage
In haste I responded:
I’m going to be married to Jesus in heaven? That is SOOOOOOOOO gay. Well ok. If Jesus does the sucking I think I could handle it. If I had to. So what is the new Christian motto? Jesus sucks? What an enticement.
Well OK maybe I didn’t understand correctly in my haste. I’m going to be married to the church. But if Jesus gets all the brides that is still way too gay for me. Besides it is my understanding that the bad boys get all the girls. Does that mean the girls will all be cheating on Jesus with the Dark One?
The the issue from that union will all be Spawn of the Devil. Well aren’t we all to varying degrees?
Well my theology is a little different – as Creatures of Light and Darkness we must choose. But it doesn’t hurt to make a friend of the Devil. As long as you choose – sooner rather than later – the Light. Your contact with the Devil will give you defenses against him and his minions. The Warrior Spirit in some cultures. The USMC say. Commonly referred to as “Devil Dogs”. So it is nice to have the Devil on your side from time to time. As long as he only takes orders and is not allowed to initiate mischief on his own.
Hmmmm. From marriage to military policy in one short post – with a dig at Christians to boot. I’m in fine form today. And BTW my Christian friends – I’d be a follower of Jesus (as a Jewish sect) were it not for the Arius Heresy. To get back to sex – the Council of Nicea screwed the pooch.
And of course what is a sermon without some church music to follow?

“Set out runnin but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.”
Heh ™. Thanks. For some odd reason, that one just suited tonight.
If you haven’t read it yet, I’d recommend Heinlein’s “Job: A Comedy of Justice”.
Ask Sarah if you don’t believe me, I suspect she’ll second me on that one.
Kathy,
In another venue I told some one who I was tweaking that the Devil was a personal friend of mine (he is). The boy got all bent out of shape accusing me of insanity. I was most amused as I am one of the top engineers on the site and most of them (at least the ones who comment) are none too shabby either.
Of course for the most part the Devil is just an amused observer – it is his minions you have to watch out for.
“Job,….” sounds like just the ticket. I missed it when it came out. If my money ever starts working again (how appropriate) I’ll buy a copy.
It’s worth it. Heinlein’s take on the devil is, well. Umm. Let’s just say it’s Heinlein. 🙂
In the spirit of this post and my friend (of the devil too!) Simon….
