There’s one more little clause in my contract which I need to consider carefully when running this site…
I am not allowed to disparage the Church of its teachings. I am assuming this means in-class, but given that my name, googled, leads directly to this site, it seems some of my rants on theology shall have to be assigned to the private section.
(UPDATE: Not anymore! I’m free! Free! Hahahaha! Thus… this post is now public!)
But for almost $200 a month more than I thought I would be making, and for approximately $800 a month more than I was making in Jeonju, I think I can handle doing that for a few years — I can always make my posts on the subject public once I have moved on… and honestly, I’m much quicker to criticize Protestant religion than the Church. It’s a weak point, perhaps, or maybe it’s a smidgen of respect from my upbringing, and for the really respectable Catholics I’ve known, compared to the very few despicable Protestants I’ve known.
(UPDATE: I still prefer the Catholics to the Protestants in Korea, but that doesn’t make the Catholics good. Some are, but Catholicism is still a horrible, horrible institution that needs to be razed from the world. So there.)
Anyway, it’s the cleanup of my archives that I’m dreading, honestly. That’ll be a long job. After the holiday.
Time to quit blogging, the PC is free but someone else is waiting for access.
As an act of Christian charity, I invite you to disparage the Church of its teachings anonymously in the comments on my blog.
But seriously, congratulations on the new job.
Grin. Okay, I shall limit myself to that. Thanks, Joshua. By the way, if you’re still interested in trading that Bertrand Russell book for the one I mentioned on my blog a long time ago, let me know.
I am still very interested. In fact, I thought of you when I moved that book to its new position on my shelves to accomodate new acquisitions from my recent trip to the US.
Cool. Just email me your postal address and I’ll post it to you when I get home. Since I don’t yet know my address for March onward, you’ll have to wait to reciprocate… :)
