Wrong

I'm sure you wanted the whole train to hear your wife reminding you to get bread on the way home. This is a pride point up there with getting a new home or a job. But none of us around you care. There is this speaker thing on the top-front of your phone, you see, that when held against your ear, makes your conversation private and intimate.

Talking to your phone a foot from your face, then holding it up on speakerphone near the side of your head is what we in the industry call, "Misuse of Technology," aka: you're doing it wrong.

Otherwise the guy across from me is almost done with the bible. 

I wonder what he will do afterwards. Will he start over? Start putting his teachings to use? Does he know there is no sequel? It's been like 400 years since that version (KJ) was updated, perhaps it's time for a solid bible Part 3. Our society loves trilogies. So we could have the old, the new, and the future testaments. 

The future testament could be a dystopian take on a society where religion is misunderstood, abused, and leaned on to oppress and condemn people who are not the same. It chronicles the time when a deity, or god, infuses himself across the people and we, now all gods ourself, believe in nothing but our own self-righteousness and ideals. We smite those who say otherwise. We praise what we like. We doom what we don't like, like a child banishing his vegetables to a trash can hell regardless of how healthy they might be.

Maybe we are all still ghostwriting this third testament now. Judging and dooming and being too holy to help. 

This book won't be released unfortunately; the pious don't chronicle.
