John Winchester


Anyone who knows me knows that I'm obsessed with Supernatural, a show on the CW. I was browsing the discussions of Supernatural on Facebook, and ran across a post about John Winchester being the vessel of God. If anyone reads this, I'd like your opinions!

This is the post that someone made:
"First of all i want everybody to know that what i say here is strictly from a Christian perspective (dont start hating on me because i have a religion im passionate about).

"But God appearing as John? God wouldn't need a vessel, He's omnipotent and the Creator of everything! Do you think that He'd need to ask permission? Also for all of you saying Mary (im expecting some hate for this), but God created Adam first, He created man in His image, why then would he appear as a woman? Again, im not trying to be sexist, but any reasonable Christian has to assume this. And for Bobby, why Bobby? Sure he's knowledgable, but it doesn't make logical sense that God's vessel would become paraplegic or be possessed by a demon (do you honestly think a body that holy would allow a demon inside?)."


This is my reply to that dude.
"Don't think I'm flaming you or anything, but these are my opinions.
"I think God may need a vessel. He is omnipotent and much more powerful than the angels. Don't forget that most humans can't look at angels! Why would any human be able to look upon the face of God?
On the paraplegic comment... do you think Bobby would STAY that way while GOD was in him? And yes, you do sound sexist. Oh WAIT the whole religion is interpreted by MEN to BE sexist! *gasp*
God created everything. Do men create life? No so much. They just lend a hand (er... you get what I mean). There are plenty of groups out there that have opened up to the possibility that God is a woman. God created humans to be similar to him, I.E. limbs, heads, faces, etc. Man is a collective term, not necessarily referring to males.
"'As it is in Heaven, so shall it be on Earth."- The Arch Angel Gabriel
"Dean and Sam are brothers. Michael and Lucifer are brothers. It makes sense to reasonable people that the Winchesters' father could be the vessel of the Angels' father. Bobby is a father figure so it makes sense, but not as much as John being the vessel.
"Why would it matter that John was possessed once? Castiel told Jimmy that being a vessel is in his blood. Meaning that it was determined before he was considered "needed." If it's in the blood for Dean and Sam, it's most likely in the blood for John as well. The angels can bring people back to life, so the fact that John is dead isn't an issue.
"God doesn't need things to be holy. He can TOUCH the damned thing and it would become holy. Come on!"
Anyone else have an opinion?

Music

Kay, so... I've been wanting to find a band to sing with. I figured, what the heck? I might as well post an ad on craigslist and see what comes up! Then, maybe I would post my voice online somewhere. Myspace didn't work. Apparently, there's no way to post it here, either. I'm checking Facebook, but it looks like unless I wanna learn some HTML I've got no chance. :(

Job Scams

For the past few months I've been job searching. I go out and ask for applications, I go through the phonebook to call and ask who's hiring, and I have profiles on several career websites. One thing I'm starting to realize, especially with careerbuilder.com, is that you can pretty much delete any job offers you get via email.
People send emails saying they've looked at your CV and think you're qualified for this position. It sounds like a real job, the pay isn't too good to be true, and it all seems legit. Until you try to talk to someone. I got a job offer from a company called Bat-Tour, and decided to google it. I didn't find much, because apparently they used to go by Petra-Tour. It's a check cashing scam. I want to know why careerbuilder and other sites are letting these people through. Granted, I know there are a lot of people and profiles on those sites, but COME ON! Sometimes I'll get two or three emails a day. Thankfully, most of the job sites have a "report fraud" or similar option. I'm definitely using it!
I found a site that has a bunch of information about scams and fraud. It's got fake emails, job scams, get-rich-quick schemes, and plenty of other warnings and articles. What's really cool is that anyone can send in a scam that isn't on there yet. Of course, good luck finding one someone hasn't posted yet. :)

And so, I continue my quest for employment. I'm slightly afraid to go outside in my little Grand Prix. If my sister's van gets stuck in the snow, how the heck am I supposed to get around? First thing I'm getting when I have a steady income: a truck! :D
