Tied to de frocking post

Relative to my last post, my intentions were not to defame a particular denomination. I could have just as easily targeted high school coaches, youth leaders, or clergy from another faith, but I think the widespread priesthood scandals and subsequent ignore it and it might go away attitude the catholic church employed merits some scorn. I realize such talk may be offensive to some but I have no intention of writing to not offend anyone. I spend $10K a year to catholic educate my son, his choice, and I do not intend to discriminate against one faith. I consider all formalized religion in equal measure to be the bane of society and along with government(s) and capitalism run amok over into greed as it is so wont to do, hugely responsible for the mess the world is in as we speak. What I don't like is offending someone I like so I hope those of you who took offense and are on my I like you list will return and not run off in disgust. My guess is you know if you're on the list or not. In closing this issue, I would like to state that I consider my values to be no less staunch and noble due to my lack of a traditional, structured faith especially in regards to my treatment of others. Unless you give me a really good reason I will be genuinely caring and respectful in my behaviour toward you. If I like you, you are really liked to your core, I don't do halfway well. I have honed my offensive skills to a sharp point however, and I have been deserving of the occasional fuck you jerkface spewed my direction. Should you have a complaint in this area please bring it to my attention and I will address it accordingly.........or dismiss it as having no merit after first checking to see if you are on the list.

If the word pagan or heathen is forming on your lips I would take this opportunity to remind you of previous posts that refer to my deep spirituality, which ironically perhaps, nearly always surfaces when I am out of doors and not under the roof of some structure. Bedrooms, the floor in front of fireplaces and being bent over dining room tables (no, I'm not the bendee) being the exception. I have issues with structure apparently but have no intention of correcting that deficiency old dog that I am. New tricks are however welcome, try me.

Enough already, no further discussion please unless you care to take it offblog. For those of you who have been asking "Edge, where are those squalid, debaucherous posts that have no socially redeeming value whatsoever which you are so capable of and are known throughout blogland for?" Huh, where are they? you ask filling my emailbox with queries such as this along with the usual outpouring of love and lust and then there are the threats of course.

I just happen to be formulating one in my mind (which is a place you don't want to wander into after dark) and hope to unveil it in the very near future. I can assure you it will not be religious in nature although there may be an Oh God or two strewn about but what you scream in your moments of ecstasy is your business as long as I get to hear you.

Later cool kids.
