Student Problems

Patch

I'm a theology student and in class this morning I was given two pieces of scripture to read and then asked to share the connection with the rest of the group. Group sharing is not one of my favourite things but I stayed, even though the task didn't make any sense to me. 

It turns out I'm not completely inept at this whole studying thing because the difference between the two historical documents I'd been given was their emphasis on social customs. As the ONLY aspie in the room, I am the last person who is going to identify a social custom, much less be able to share some of the problems it might have caused a community TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO. I can't even get the practices of 2018 right.

I'm trying to focus on the comedic value of this moment rather than re-enacting Jesus and flipping a table.

    So they were preying on superstitions. Some things never change. Exploiting peoples faith is a massive sin. Mental cruelty.

    I just don't get the whole absolution thing. Either don't do something wrong or apologise or make amends directly! Killing some innocent animal is just beyond logic. No wonder Jesus was so miffed.

    Jesus would probably be flipping buildings.........

    Thanks for that, pretty interesting stuff!
