Does the Lord call you Lord?
27 Mar '21 21:073 editsApologies up front to my sincere Christian friends, and greater apologies to my iffy Christian acquaintances who might not see that this joke does contain some measure of respect.
But, within the conceptual framework of Christianity and of believers giving their consent for God to crack their eggs and help them become more Christlike and serve as the hands and shapely Jewish feet of Christ -- isn't there some point during this process of Christification when the balance tips and Christ can finally say, "Hey bro, now we are both Lords" (or "Hey Sis", but I don't know what the grammatically feminine version of Lord is)?
As for my Muslim and Jewish friends (if any), I'm sorry, but it seems that the Christians and anti-Christians have taken over this forum, which at first glance might have seemed to be about spirituality in general. I did mention Rami Shapiro's book of Hasidic Tales once, but that thread didn't go far.
And if I were to make pseudo-Sufi jokes, they might be misinterpreted in unhelpful ways, even though Spirituality (one might think) should be about harm-reduction at the very least.
As for my Buddhist friends: yeah, whatever.
