After (another) late night working session, very tired and MUCH in need of sleep, the colleagues and I found ourselves at McDonalds’ having a late night dinner. One happened to mention he wished there had never been sin as then he could eat as much McDonalds as he liked. By some miracle, this sparked a thought process. God knows how. I was shattered. Full day training, followed by work at the office till 10pm. I then commented, through my junior cheeseburger, if there was no sin there would not be technology or McDonalds. Think my colleagues choked. A sensible though? From Fila? NOT alcohol induced?? WTF? Once they had regained composure I continued. If we had never eaten the proverbial apple and discovered sin, we would never have advanced. Let me explain. With sin comes knowledge, with knowledge comes a yearning in us. A yearning for more. A yearning for a pill to ease the cancer of discontentment. Our minds are no longer able to deal with the thought that there is MORE out there and yet not crave it.
Deep for McDonalds right? But yet so simple. So to all you Bible bashing people out there, get out of your AMG, leave your R3 million Rand home, and move to a nudist camp. Please. Until then stop moaning about us “sinners” for I truly believe that if you are a person who uses(and abuses) ANYTHING which is a technological advancement from say, the last 3000 years, is condoning sin.
I am a sinner. Now, that that’s off my chest, time for McDonalds.
that is a valid and true point. If you complain sinning is bad, it might be.. but it is human nature.
ReplyDeleteIf they did not eat the apple, if they did not discover they were nude, they would still be walking around poking tree's with sticks, there would be no advancement for life, there would have never been reproducing, and we would never have had this blog post :)
