Christian Writer's Group?

As a failed aspiring writer, I was once part of a writer's group. Not just ANY writer's group, but a Christian one. I still considered myself a Christian at this time, but HELL NO should I have been a part of it. Not only did it not fit with my way of thinking, it was pretty much backward in terms of the writing process.

Still, it was helpful in some ways, and this is just my thoughts on the issues of my being part of. That's all. That, and I need to get back into writing, EGADS!!!

Like the song? It was created by Kawarapingi/Hades, and you can download it from Newgrounds...

Dude don't give up though-Write about the bullshit the group does or doesn't do-lol-and aren't you into protesting?-let em know wut they r doin is bullshit too!

[JoeSomebody2]

As one of the tidbits mentioned in said group, "write what you know." But if we only wrote on things we knew, there wouldn't be much fantasy of fiction to begin with. So it's a give and take piece of advice. ;)

Kudos to you for ditching religion and allowing yourself to evolve and to open up to different ways of thinking. For my own part, I've been vehemently anti-religious since the age of 12 when I just sort of figured out one day that ALL RELIGIONS ARE FULL OF SHIT.

You're looking good today, Joe. ;)

[JoeSomebody2]

Well, not really looking good physically, and I've still failed in terms of writing something worthwhile. So I still have a ways to go, even if I am better off. ;)

So you didn't write any "I farted on Jesus's penis" stories?

[JoeSomebody2]

I'm suddenly reminded of the song "May He Poop on my Knee". Thanks for that. :D

And no, never wrote any stories like that, though I suppose I could give it a shot if I ever see them again. ;)

[JoeSomebody2]

Even though I'm loath to try it, I could think of many better ways to write a Christian novel. Suppose I could give it a shot to show how it should be done, but that seems almost counter productive. :(

[JoeSomebody2]

Well, it was more like the tip of the penis, but it's still bogus in either case. I think the Bible had a lot more horrid acts and ideas than what I was bringing forth. :S

[JoeSomebody2]

By the balls. We need to grab something...by the balls...and work it. :D

[grnlfe01]

I could rant on the stifling nature of religion for quite some time but I feel in this case its just the fact that they've poorly thought out what they're trying to say with these guidelines.
