Book clubs

It has been a fantastic long four days off - most of it spent eating, playing board games until the wee hours of the morning, naps, hanging out with kitty friends, exercising and much conversation. I did not participate in the shopping madness, only tonight going to Target to get kitty litter.

One of my conversations was about "organized religion" and its value and its ill. My friend turned to me and said "Michelle, why can't church be like a book club for the bible. I mean you get a group of people to meet out at a coffee shop and talk about what they thought of Exodus. Then you can find out the values you share and see why other people have other interpretations..." avoiding wars, crazy amendments, and the like. I thought that was a pretty clever and funny idea. Then I realized that there exists a book club for the Bible and other great works... called philosophy.
