Last summer I went to Thailand and was driving from Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai, it is about 2 hours on a motorbike and oh what wonders to behold, I don’t know if I imagined it because it was a hot day, but I drove past an abandoned theme park with a big caterpillar dressed as a clown poking out of the forest
But then I realised that I had stopped for a coffee at this national park and left my bag with my cash, passport, and cards in it.
I started driving back and realised that I was out of petrol, so suddenly I was having this great time driving around and then I am stuck on a mountain with nothing except my phone which is on 10%
Then this Christian guy shows up, sees I’m panicked and tells me not to panic, he will get some petrol for me.
That’s kind of the story, he went and got me some petrol and asked me to visit his church which I didn’t I went to the park to get my wallet and they were so happy that the guy who lost his wallet showed up.
There was also this guy who took us on a walk around Chiang Mai who had my phone number who phoned up. I’m really murdering this story, it really was not exciting even though it’s a crazy thing that happened, it wasn’t full of events, it’s like the beginning of the story except I managed to avoid the story, because I’m a bloody bloke.
I should have just wrote about the cool stuff in Chiang Rai, it was just a thing that popped into my head that this Thai Christian appeared in a moment of need. When the praises go up, the blessings come down
A little bit about Christians, I was against them as a kid of course, Christianity is dumb as shit, but then as I age and meet Christians I realise that they are not dumb, it’s no dumber than my ‘alone in the universe’, it’s not like they sit up discussing it and come to the wrong answer, they just get power and love from Christianity because you need something.
I have residual Christianity because I went to Christian schools, like we didn’t have any Christian rules, we just sang Christian hymns in the morning and it was fine. It’s comforting, like potatoes. Apparently the guy who set it up in our village was a doctor who had some savings and loved Jesus and said that he will pay for everyone in the village to go to school as long as they sing Christian songs in the morning, which is fine, although not a great long term plan
It’s a joke done to death but the fact that Jesus is this sexy Italian guy is fucking weird considering, that is such an own on the culture of the region, the Italians turned up and took over Judea and to this day the ‘proper’ Jesus is this sexy Italian, say what you like about the Romans, they are like Chinese, they might let you win short term, but only so they can win long term. Just one hot Italian guy with long shampooed hair among the masses of brown people healing them
But anyway that happened
