Thanks for the heads up on the NYC show!
No problem, maybe I'll see you there (I'll be handing out Bibles, not condoms).
You didn't have to tell me, I knew you'd be there.
Call it morbid curiosity, literally.
ROTFL! As if you need to sate that itch.
It's like watching those tv shows with all of the world's most extreme accidents – why do I not tire of seeing them? Morbid curiosity. Although seeing men kiss makes me gag, seeing such open depravity celebrated is like being in an insane asylum – you just can't believe it and you keep studying people's faces to witness such strange expressions, mannerisms, and deformities of the soul! Sort of like a freak show (and anyone who's seen a gay pride parade knows that's exactly what it is).
However, if I was a more mature christian, it might also cause me to weep at the lostness, and perhaps in that situation, God would pull me past curiosity to compassion. It's certainly His way.
It's funny. I have almost the exact same reaction to watching evangelicals. Watching them on their tv shows or on the street or wherever is just (not "sort of") the same as watching a freak show. Truly.
I guess if I were more mature I'd feel sorry for them. How can human beings be so enslaved by something so obviously stupid and irrational? Well, there's shows like Maury Povich and the rest. I can't help it: they're funny!
My theory is that God is a practical joker.
