Deep thoughts

I'm waiting at the corner to cross the street; waiting for the light to change. I'm on my way to St. Dominic's. There's a guy on the opposite corner, also appearing to wait for the light to change.

The light changes. I cross the street. The guy's still on the corner, and as I pass him, he starts yelling:

"If we all obeyed all the laws in the land, there would be no need for Jesus Christ!"

So what does this mean? Should I embrace anarchy and go to church (where I was headed anyway. Hello, talk about preaching to the choir)? Or should I become a more law abiding citizen and forgo church?

  1. I think that perhaps you should re-evaluate your decision to take even remotely seriously the rantings of a nut-job. But perhaps that just my subway cynicism coming out...

  2. Another friend said the same thing. But what if he was saying something that had a direct bearing on my life, and by tuning him out because he's just another religious weirdo-freak, I missed it?
