Last week I started a project that I assumed would lead to some of the most uproarious blog-worthy discoveries. It is, would you believe, a Christian marriage manual. I tend not to work on either religion or self-help, but I thought certainly a hybrid of the two would be sidesplitting.
The bizarre thing is, it's actually pretty good. Jargony. A tad repetitive. Soft on logic. But not the train wreck I was secretly hoping for.
Also, it contains this wise counsel that I endorse as a Whovian but think might be a theological stretch:
Delete every adulterous thought before it takes hold of you. Ask yourself, “Does this thought honor God or not?” If it doesn’t, throw it out! Delete! Delete! Delete!
I'm pretty sure the author is not intentionally referencing Doctor Who, and I think it's probably harmless to avoid mentioning it. To him, anyway. I couldn't let you go without this geeky goodness.
Love,
Your Copyeditor

I'm coming to this post late and I thought from the title you were referencing this week's episode, "Closing Time". Instead it was a fortunate juxtaposition. Nifty.
ReplyDeleteA fortunate juxtaposition indeed. I was really disappointed, however, that this week's Cybermen went the entire episode without uttering one "Delete." I guess that's what happens when you work with spare parts.
