Life would be so much easier if it were not for people. They all try to conform to what is normal, but nobody knows what that is. I believe normal is this: people are strange. Many are often overly critical of others while giving themselves lots of leeway. Each one believes themselves to be the…

Jesus hates this part of the job. He and the Buddha take turns, each performing this task every other day, but it is still too much to bear. The Buddha seems unbothered by the letters. It seems to have deepened his love for the human condition, if such a thing were even possible. Jesus, on…

Sunday morning church service started like every other. Congregants talked and laughed in hushed tones, genuinely happy to see each other, or faking it so masterfully that no one could tell the difference.
