Cell phones are like girls can’t live with them, can’t live without them. I have just got my 5th cellphone yesterday. The incredible thing about it is that, they are all the same model.

A low down on my cell phone history

1st one lasted 8 months and was broken in a pillow fight at Mike and Buddy’s. I got a free phone(I wasn’t complaining) to replace it in exchange for introducing two new customers. I had to make the deal because I didn’t have insurance on the phone.

2nd one lasted for another eight months. The problem with it was that it just wouldn’t work in California. So the Verizon people in San Jose (after trying for 2 hours to make it work) decided to give me a new phone in exchange for it.

The 3rd one was going good until I broke it trying to show off my line dancing moves. By now I had become smart and had purchased a insurance on my phone. But the insurance company jacked me and gave me a used phone to replace the one I broke.

The fourth one breaking was not my mistake. I just broke the antenna and the screen gave up on its own. But I was lucky enough to know somebody who was a manager at the Verizon store here. And yesterday I got my 5th phone in 2 and a half years in the US of A.

I let you guys know when this one breaks. My luck with cellphones can be summed up by my best friends refusal to allow me to use her phone even though she is out of the country for an extended period of time!!

And the model of my cellphone is a LG VX10. Pretty old.

My love hate relationship with cellphones extends from my school days in India. I was and am what you would a destructive oriented person 🙂 … go figure.

“We don’t see things as they are.
We see them as we are. “

The papal infallibility is what comes to my mind when I think infallible, of course I am also reminded of celebrities and crooked preachers thinking they are infallible. But the current news about the sickness of the “lineage of peter” got me thinking about it. Being a catholic I think I can say without any prejudice that the infallibility of any man even though he be a pope is BS*. Its another piece of superstition’s that has been propagated as a Christian truth.

All I can say as a retort to the pope’s position is Romans 3:23

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”

The protestant church is dong no better with the controversy over gay marriage and anointing gay priest. Who are they kidding by using the excuse of making the church in synch with the times we live in. No offence meant towards people of different sexual orientation than my own but this is another BS*. Would these same “liberal” leaders of the church accept a priest who is living in adultery or would they say that its ok to commit murder just because some people think so. Yes there is salvation and freedom for all in Christ but that freedom does not allow you to call sin as acceptable. The Episcopal church has just lost its Christian identity by appointing a person to a bishop’s post which according to 1 Timoty 3:2 should go a person with one wife :).

Well this has caused a informal split in the Episcopal/Anglican church. That’s what always happens, when you disagree you just start your won church. Not that I have anything against that. When I think of judgment day as all Christians would like to preach about, I can imagine people standing in lines according to their denominations and they are all going to be surprised that the other denomination is present there.

All my life people have not only asked me if I am a Christian but also if I am a catholic or a protestant. I just hate the whole deal. I just want to shout in their face that I am not a Christian, don’t confine me to a religion’s boundary because my Jesus didn’t do that, he just asked me to follow him 😉

People who tend to support the acceptance of homosexuality by the church think that they are making up for the church’s less than acceptable way of dealing with them in the past. I do agree that the church has been prejudiced in that way it deals with people. How else do u account for the Aryan superiority theorem of Hitler or the KKK. But that does not make me condone such lifestyle, you need to love them but does not mean that you have twist the Bible to give it legitimacy.

Above all the point is that you can’t have people who not only condone it but practice it have spiritual authority over anybody. Would a person who is openly living in adultery be allowed to hold that post?

This weeks postings are going to be under the heading of “The case against the Christian religion”. Just some of my views on all things “religiously Christian”. If any of you want to join or want to suggest future topic for discussion in this blog write me a Ulyssesj@gmail.com
