Thanks to my parents, I was schooled for ten years in catholic schools, including time as an altar boy when the catholic mass was conducted in Latin.
I was thinking today of the lamb of god prayer….Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi…which translates as Lamb of god, who takes away the sins of the world.
At this point I thought, wait a minute. You’re the one who gave us these sins. Now you want to take them away? Fuck that! There are some sins I would rather keep.
Thoughts of a devout atheist.
Merry Christmas!
