Walk Against Warming. Show the Australian Government that we think global warming is a serious issue that deserves attention. This Saturday at 12:30PM there’s a march starting in Northbridge. I’ll see you all there.

Some of the best lyrics I’ve heard in a long time:

You’re beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna
squeeze
It’s hard to steer when you’re breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my
gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
‘Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
I’m screamin’

Great!

Tonight Aaron (who was filling in on my date night for Maggie) and I caught a 9:30 session of Andrew Denton’s new film God on my Side. It’s a fantastic look at Christian fanaticism centred around a religious broadcaster’s convention in Texas, US.

It came at an interesting time considering some of the discussions that have been circulating regarding Alex’s alignment with TEAR for Sunday’s dread-lock removal session (ask for more details if you wanna come along).

A question of mine (that has been brought to the fore-front) has always been the following:

Would the removal of all supernatural and mystical elements of modern Christian teachings reduce or lesson the central themes of Christianity, defined by me as living ones life in a truly Christ-like manner?

I understand that there’s elements of faith and a belief in God at the core of Christianity; what I’m asking is does the message receive a reduced significance if Jesus Christ was “just a man with a plan”?

The Christians that I know, respect and love have all, in my eyes, distanced themselves from the institution of Church. I think that’s a pretty powerful message, and one that Denton’s film drove into me. Go see it.
