Me holding the bible
First Sentences,  Random Ramblings

Am I right or am I right?

Today I found the perfect image for my redesigned non-blog website. An open book below a beautiful moonlit, star struck sky. It required some Photoshop editing to make it wider but seemed worth the effort. Then I read the description and discovered that my “perfect image” was an illustration of a religious book displayed during a religious observance. Now I can’t help but picture my “perfect” banner image being the Bible, and myself showing it off as if I wrote it. That’s probably the wrong approach, right?

Needless to say, my search for a perfect image continues.

It seems blasphemously appropriate that this be my First Sentence today:

Others have done an excellent job of making people fear the Devil. They’ve planted ideas, woven the pain and misery of hell into a sales pitch for Christianity, painted him as the master villain who seeks to steal your soul. Even I, a once proud atheist who calls ‘Lucifer’ friend, am afraid of a deceit that will end in eternal torment.

Originally written on 2/14/2013, this will serve as the basis for a short story I’d like to write. A decidedly non-Christian, fantasy story, as a heads up.

P.S. Yes, on this particular occasion, I’m right. Also, always read.
