worshipping god and maman
There’s a church right on the same block of Smithfield as the building where I work; it’s called the Smithfield United Church of Christ. It has one of those little signs that they change every few days to feature a new clever quote. Most of them are a step up from the “God answers knee mail” thing, but not amazingly great. Once, though, it said:
There are plenty of businesses like show business.
And that made me laugh. This week, it also made me laugh, because it said:
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
- Camus
Since when is it acceptable protocol for a church to go around quoting Camus? What’s next, the line from The Myth of Sisyphus about how the only real philosophical question is that of suicide?
PS — super obscuro complicated pun in the post title. 10,000 points if you “get it.” Don’t sweat it if you don’t. Just act like you do.
