Interactive Religion [Tuesday, March 25]

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

"There was kind of an important religious holiday on Sunday, huh?" Biff asked, passing out chocolate eggs and bunnies.

After all, Josh had said that there should be bunnies whenever bad things happened to him. Biff hadn't known someone else had written that down somewhere. Josh had been pretty drunk when he'd said it.

"So let's talk about my best friend, Joshua of Nazareth, founder of Christianity. I, um, missed the thing on the Sunday after the crucifixion, but I was there for everything leading up to it. Rather than lecturing at you, I figured it'd be easier if you asked questions and I answered them. I'll be dedicating a whole class to the apostles, so don't worry if you can't keep them all straight. And I have no idea what's going on with the Catholic Church now, or televangelists, or those stickers asking what Jesus would drive. If you want to know what he was really like, I can tell you that. If you want to know, you know, religion, um, ask the guy down at the church."

Listen to Biff!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Wonder what he is talking about if Christianity is unfamiliar to you.

Re: Listen to Biff!

Just ignore Seely curled up protectively around his eggs whimpering.

All Karal was really thinking as he listened to Biff was that asking the guy at the church was probably not the best idea.

Inara wasn't quite sure about the religious significance of chocolate, bunnies, and eggs, but she had seen some Peeps wandering on Sunday, so she left the bunnies and eggs on her desk and watched them carefully just in case.

Romeo's first week in class, Biff's assertion he knew Jesus had made Romeo think the man was either mad or a miracle.

Now it was just another Fandom oddity.

Listening and thinking of this, he wasn't sure if this marked progress or regression.

Andrew sat up because this could be interesting.

Reno just sat there in silent wonderment.

There was a holiday over the weekend?

Ask Biff questions!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Asking "um, who's Josh?" is totally cool.

Rikku chewed on her lip, and then hesitantly raised her hand.

"I'm ... sorry your friend died," she said.

Karal was looking curiously at his egg and his bunny while he thought of a question. He finally raised his hand and ventured, "I know his teachings were twisted by men after he died." Karse had had its god's words altered by men, the Church turning Vkandis' Writ into something near-unrecognisable. This was a question close to Karal's heart. "What did your friend truly wish people to learn?"

"What was his favorite way to spend his time?" Inara asked, trying to get a sense of him as a person.

Re: Ask Biff questions!

[withoutverona]

Romeo kind of had to ask.

"What were his true views on chastity?"

Re: Ask Biff questions!

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"So just how close were some of those apostles?" Andrew had read things on the internet.

Re: Ask Biff questions!

"Yeah. Could he have played guitar better than Hendrix? Could he bake the world's most delicious chocolate cake? Could he score more goals than Wayne Gretsky? Could he dance better Barishnikov? Or was that song from King Missle completely off?"

Re: Ask Biff questions!

[raspberryturk]

Reno was going to need a moment to be able to ask his question without feeling like an idiot.

"What's all this Christianity stuff, anyhow?"

Okay. So he still felt like an idiot.

"Do you think he was ready for what he had to do, in the end?" Sam asked, after being quiet for a few minutes.

Re: Ask Biff questions!

Billy who'd gotten off on the wrong foot with Biff was trying to think of a question that might help set that right. "Did he have a favorite joke?"

Re: Ask Biff questions!

"Did he like chocolate?" she asked, holding up one of her eggs.

Or, well, the wrapper.

Talk to the TA!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Hi, Karal!

Re: Talk to the TA!

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

After the weekend he'd just had, Karal was a little wary of anything to do with any gods but his. Just ignore him touching his Vkandis medal repeatedly throughout the class.

Talk to Biff!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

After class, if you still have questions.

Re: Talk to Biff!

Rikku hesitated, and then lingered by Biff's desk as she was walking out.

"I, uh." She cleared her throat. "I kidnapped Yunie. My cousin? She ... was doing the whole, kill yourself and save the world thing and I ... didn't know how to stop her, so ... I kidnapped her. Uh. I tried to, anyway."

OOC

*mun hopes she doesn't go to hell writing replies to this class, la...*

I think most of us were at that point well before you started this class.
