I like Jesus.
Too bad he didn't have any of these.
Loser.
the list moves in front of you at a rate that gives little time to read its content, which adds this sense of infinity. an infinite list of things that he did not do.
what if the list was spoken or had an audio.
Lent
Lent is a special time of self-examination and thought about how we live. More on Lent.
can this list breakdown that hierarchy.
jesus never did the things that are essential to our lifestyle.
he never had children.
having children has to be one of the most revealing aspects of life.
it is a list of the things that we as a culture strive for and do on a regular basis. the list arose out of a stereotyping of our culture to some degree because they are 'universal' truths. or they are just things
set up this thing that forces (or allows the possibility to. or vs. the possibility to compare) you to compare your life and your activities with that of jesus (or the stereotyping of jesus' identity and lifestyle)
What kind of object could this be?
- an object that allows for this (or is associated with) aspects of choice or choosing.
did it ever occur to you that people are okay with the fact that they live there lives in discord to religious values already and they dont worry about it anymore. maybe it's just me who is not okay with the discord in my life.
