Book of Daniel

So I went to this bible study on Daniel and last night and we get to chapter 7, 8, and 9, you know, the freaky deeky stuff. Lions, Leopards and hunched over bears fighting each other like an Ultra Man battle sequence. While we listened to the theories of what all this means there was this couple of ladies who interrupted over and over again with alternative views to the teacher. The questions part was fine. I liked hearing that the Lions alternatively represent England and the Bears represent the Soviet Union. Interesting...

But then we got more into and they became more defiant. They challenged the teacher more and more throughout the night and people started groaning each time the ladies raised their hands.

After the study I waited around to ask my burning question (‘At what point does Kirk Cameron come into Daniel’s vision?’) only to be cut in front of by the ladies. I use the term ladies because I vowed not to cuss to get laughs. I’ll do just about anything else but that.

They cut in front of me like I was the make-a-wish foundation. Not Cool.

I spoke to one of the ladies for almost 4 minutes. She said her Husband was was 100% preterist. I told her how sorry I was and asked how long he had to live. Like most sarcasm, this too was lost on the passionate. She asked me if I knew what Preterism was and I told her it was a joke. She didn’t laugh. Then she told me that I had a ‘strange point of view’ for not ‘believing that Jesus already came back’ in like 34 AD and then something about the sacrifices being reinstated. I asked her, “so now that sacrifice has been reinstated, what have you been sacrificing? Alpacas?”

(Crickets chirping...) And I never got to tell my Kirk Cameron joke.
