Ignorance is Bliss

So school is good cause it is fun sometimes and you sometimes get smarter. But you know, sometimes the more you learn the more difficult your faith becomes and what not. For instance, in my theology classes, you learn that Moses did not write the Pentatuch, other people did. You learn things like "open canon" which means it was completely ok for many people to amend or add to much of the prophets writtings which took in some cases, over a hundred years for them to acheive their final form. It is becoming so clear as to why people love fundamentalism since there is no room for any of these variables in their religious understanding. Many of these things really shift your understanding of the Bible and thus shakes and shifts your faith. Things you have been relying as crutch to your faith gets shifted or removed and you need to take a few "HHMMM" moments to re-evaluate.

The other reason ignorance is bliss is Anna is sitting on the couch right now while I am supposed to be writting a paper on the Davidic Monarchy and the possible allusions to the kingship of David as seen in Genesis 38. Yeah...right now, if given the choice, I would take ignorance or David so I could spend some time with my wife.
