What a life

Mary went to Tonya's house for tea. Tonya had dishes in her sink and her bathroom was a mess. Mary went to Sophia's house for lunch. She told Sophia what a mess Tonya's house was.

Sophia went to Michael's house for dinner and cable tv. Michael left his mail on the coffee table. Sophia saw that his mortgage was two months past due. Sophia went to Troy's house for sex and breakfast. She told Troy about her "friend's" financial troubles.

Michael went to Mary's house for sex and dinner. Mary is pregnant with Troy's baby. She didn't say anything to Michael.

Michael went to Phillip's house for band rehearsal and...breakfast.

Doesn't this sound like one messy world? This is what we look like when we stand on our religious soapboxes and point fingers at other religions. Replace Mary, Tonya, Sophia, Michael, Troy and Phillip with Christians, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Scientologists and Bahai (and any other.)

I was watching a telivision show once and a little boy said "Religions are like farts. Everyone else's stinks but yours is ok."

If we each cleaned our own homes the world would be clean. Instead we cover our mess by talking about someone else's.
