Radical Reformission Quote #5

From the introduction: my personal reformission and the growing reformission movement. (Note: There are a lot of funny one-liners throughout the book that give the flavor to Mark's personality. I'll post a bunch like this some Fridays.)

• I wasn't much of a theologian at the time, but killing Jesus did seem like a bad move.
• To me, sins were terrible things that very bad people do, such as rape, murder, drug dealing, and what my construction-worker dad called being antiunion.
• I had a class in women's studies in which I learned that men are a plague ruining the world and that I needed to get in touch with my feminine side, which made about as much sense as telling a dog to get in touch with its feline side.
• To pay the bills, I edited the opinions section of the campus newspaper, writing inflammatory columns that led to debates, radio interviews, and even a few bomb threats -- which was wonderful, because the only thing worse than dying is living a boring life.
