Well Today was fun

I wrote a play:

Black and white?
Organizer. Black and white, black and white everything must be black and white!

Voice of reason. But sir the Bible does have a few gray areas.

Organizer. True, hum…That does make it difficult to organize into black and white.

Pride. Perhaps God has left the gray areas for us to clear up.

Organizer. Yes it very well could be.

Voice of reason. Or maybe it’s a heart issue.
Organizer. Nonsense! It must be black and white. If it’s gray we have to make it black and white!

Conscience. Who are you to make up laws and rules, for fallowing Christ? Is it not wrong to add to the word of God? Yes it is wrong!

Organizer. It’s not wrong to clarify the word of God.

[Conscience shakes head and walks away.]

Voice of reason. Perhaps one can’t organize a relationship.

Overthinker. Maybe it is a religion that we are after.

Organizer. We can’t make this decision without help. Let us organize a council of wise men and philosophers. We shall call it the Religious Council.

Over thinker. A wise idea if I do say so myself. We will be able to decide what gray is black and what is white.

Scene II
Wise men where gathered from far and wide. To help decide., what is black and what is white. Shall we listen in?

Organizer. First order of business is the question that has been bothering me for quite sometime. What kind of fruit did Eve eat, that she shouldn’t have ate?

Scientist. Well it was from a tree so it wasn’t a berry.

Philosopher. Also note that she just took and bit the fruit, so it wasn’t an orange or anything you have to peel.

Over thinker. Perhaps it was an orange and the Bible just doesn’t mention that she peeled it.

Philosopher. Try as we might we will never be spot on. However I feel very strongly that it was an apple.

Over thinker. So if it was an apple does that make it wrong to eat apples?

Philosopher. No Just on Sundays you shouldn’t eat apples because it’s the Lord’s day and the apples are a terrible reminder.

Organizer. So there for it is taboo to eat apples on Sunday.

Over thinker. What about apple pie is it taboo?

Philosopher. It’s always taboo to eat apple pie, in a sense that would be celebrating our sin.

Organizer. So it’s decided apple pie is always taboo and it’s taboo to eat apples on Sundays.

[Everyone exists.] [Conscience walks on the scene.]

Conscience. See what you get when we try to make everything black and white?

The End
