The Gospel of Simon
So, last night I was sitting in my living room and eating a bowl of noodles and re-watching ‘The passion of the Christ’. If there were anyone in the bible I would have to identify with, it would have to be Simon of Cyrene. He’s the guy that was forced to carry Jesus’ cross. Sure, if you walk around saying you are the Son of God, you might expect a little trouble with the natives. Even if you’re a disciple of someone saying they are the Son of God that might not cast you a favorable light in certain circles.
However, along comes Simon. He’s a country bumpkin visiting the big city. He’s minding his own business and is out wandering the market looking for a pack of kosher cigs or something. Suddenly some big sweaty roman soldier reeking of wine and wearing a push broom on his head suddenly appears before him. He says to him, “OK, see that bloody pulp of meat over there? Well that’s the Son of God. Yeah, THE God, maker of man and woman, good and evil, night and day, that sort of thing. Well, he’s been going around saying that perhaps it would be a neat idea if we all started being nice to each other. We don’t much like the sound of that, so we are going to nail him to a tree. We whipped him a little too much, so he can’t carry that tree anymore, so you are going to do it for him. Oh, and if you refuse me and my roman buddies are going to drag you into that alley stomp you to a pulp.”
Not much of a choice.
So the Gospel of Simon is simple:
1) Shit Happens
2) You are screwed no matter what you do.
I think that is the wisest philosophy than anything else in the bible.

I replied, but I was annoyed that I forgot to hit the checkbox to post it to the ebay page. Oh well. This guy loves his clowns. I am surprised he replied at all. I can understand getting heated if this was a 500 dollar item or something, but this is a raggedy old clown. People are crazy. 0 feedback clown man also said:
and also i bid high because i can afford it i hope other rumors doesnt make u cancel my bid thanks alot for ur time again
There you have it, this guy is rolling in dough and he’s on a mission to buy clowns. I hope he wins, but let’s remember the gospel of Simon: Shit Happens.
