Another great day; things are starting to get back on track.
I had to streamline my workouts a bit, since the volume was getting to be so high I couldn't finish...which does more harm than good.
So I cut it back to just 3 exercises per session that I give the proper intensity, and I already like the results. (/flex)
I'm about 25% of the way through The Lost Gospel (The Book of Q and Christian Origins) and I have to say it is GREAT.
It always makes me sad how few 'Believers' put in any effort to understand their religions in terms of the history and culture they came out of.
After all, if you have a clearer idea of the world the Jesus/Buddha/Muhammad/etc. grew up in, then you'll have a better idea of what shaped their ideas and how they would communicate those ideas, and how the people of the time would have heard them.
Since it's easy to open up a holy book, read it and decide what you think it means; but *what the person who wrote it meant * might be TOTALLY different.
Oh well.
And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.
