Jesus Isn't Available Right Now
So, I had a pretty disturbing dream the other day that I'm still trying to decipher. It wasn't one of those nighttime dreams, but was one of those midday nap dreams which always tend to be a little bit weirder. The content of the majority of the dream really isn't relevant. Lucky for me because I don't remember most of it anyway. What I do remember is making some reference to Jesus in the dream and being told that Jesus is busy right now anyway. I was then led to a shack where Jesus was sitting in a chair, staring like a zombie at the television, and being guarded by a couple of demon-like (or possibly biker-like) dudes. It was reminiscent of the scene from Shaun of the Dead where Ed the zombie is playing video games in the shed out back.
What in the world does this dream mean? It could be some subconscious effort to tell me I'm losing my religion (props to REM), but then again it could just be a result of the cold medicine I took before the nap. Not every dream has to have a hidden meaning, but how can you tell which one does and which one doesn't? Am I supposed to write this down as some Nostradamus-type prophesy about zombie Jesus? Should I start my own cult of Zombieism (Christianzombie, Zombianity)? Just because zombie Jesus is glued to the television, should we join in or does it mean that our religion(s) don't mean as much to us anymore now that we have a glowing box to worship? Did the second coming of Christ already take place but he was too freaked out by all the technology he saw and has since then been in a shack watching T.V. somewhere and no one knows?
People major in Philosophy in order to ponder these and other of life's biggest questions. I say ponder because they never get around to actually answering any questions. Makes you wonder how someone can validate majoring in Philosophy. Makes you wonder just how difficult the doctoral theses has to be. Just throw in a bunch of references of famous philosophers and a bunch of esoteric ideas that no one can prove or disprove and you've got yourself a PhD. Zombie Jesus would be proud.

Great to have you writing again. Although I've found with the complete disbelief of religion, religious quadrys just vanish.
