If archeologists happened to find the body of Christ—proof he didn’t go to heaven—that would automatically make every Christian either a Jew or a Muslim. Wouldn’t that be fun?
Chris Churchill Saves the World | Lies! Lies! Lies!
Lies that we believe that make all of us, with our various morals, goals, drives, and ambitions, feel better:
24. Good looking people probably have a hole in their heart. And for that reason, it’s good to be who you are.
25. Your kids are gorgeous.
26. Your parents are the best!
27. Your dog really gets you.
28. Other people’s opinions about theatre matters.
29. “This is the best Italian beef in the city of Chicago.”
The stomach tightens and sinks.
The heart and lungs follow.
It’s a confounding reaction to a receipt of affection.
It’s familiar, and, therefore, oddly comforting.
But familiarity can be a curse.
A cursed reminder of what once went wrong when you were just trying to do things right this time.
This time it’ll be different, you say.
Why? You’re different, but what are you doing differently?
