Friday Night Open Thread: Morality

Well, it’s probably way past time to lecture you on morality.

But then, why not? Every media outlet and elementary school teacher seems to be willing to do so; therefore IMAO would probably be be remiss if we didn’t. Listen up.

OK, so what are you doing wrong? That is the first hurdle to overcome in being a moral person.

Once you stop that, you can get on with a moral life. This has been offered as free advice: do not send money, as that is filthy lucre. Do not try to look up that word, as you will probably misspell it. As I did with “misspell” the first time around.

Jesus said “Go thou, and sin no more,” or words to that effect. These are words that will echo through the ages. They won’t echo in schools or in TV shows, though, because that might bother someone. This is a valuable lesson about morality. Jesus did not add: “Oh, also: don’t kill babies.” He probably assumed that goes without saying, but you can’t assume anything like that these days.

That’s all you need to know about morality for right now. When we come back to this subject, I’ll tell you what you should do if you find a money clip with thousands of dollars in it.

  1. One of my favorite stories this week was about a (white) college professor asking his class about oppression. Singling out a (white) student he stated “You probably oppressed someone just by leaving your house today.” Since we’re discussing morals, the moral of this story is don’t waste your money, borrowed or otherwise on America’s higher education system as the MSM will inform you (for FREE) daily that you’re an oppressor if you’re not a BIPOC. Now excuse me, I’m going to oppress someone by hauling my trash to the transfer station. Later!

  2. From Da Jesus Book (Hawaiian version)
    John 8:10-11

    10 Jesus stand up
    again an say, “Sista, wea everybody stay? No mo nobody
    hea fo say you gotta mahke?”
    11 She say, “No mo, Mista.”
    Jesus say, “You can go now, cuz I no say you gotta
    mahke. But no go do da bad kine stuff no moa.”]
