It's ok to lie.

It basically boils down to the question of honoring God. Which do you worship, the precepts or the person? Think Rahab, think Samson, think King David... I will not bother to elucidate. If you don't agree, then don't. Don't let this stumble you.
And then today, I walked past the FUNKY CHRISTIAN T-SHIRT store in Junction 8. I stopped and stared at the obscene ads for their FUNKY CHRISTIAN T-SHIRT discount cards and FUNKY CHRISTIAN T-SHIRT original-product garuntee. Can I help you? Of course it would come from the sweet young thing behind the counter, itself clad in a FUNKY CHRISTIAN T-SHIRT. I then proceeded to give her a piece of my mind.
I came back later with the boyfriend, and pointed out the 'SOCIAL HAZARD - I WILL NOT CONFORM' black hoodie that was proudly displayed, a true marker of funkiness. Of course, it conformed entirely with the social lingua franca of American Coolness. And with it, the hope to encase an eager drug and alcohol-free celibate christian body who's conciousness is entirely immersed in the world's notions of consumerism, capitalism and social cannibalism.

Reading between the lines...
Consumerism: "...sweet...drugs and alcohol..."
Capitalism: "FUNKY CHRISTIAN T-SHIRT"
(Social) Cannibalism: "...give her a piece of my mind."
These have to be intentional ;-)
Woah Jon, i feel like a lit text that's been analyzed silly. And anyway the only intention i had was to alliterate.
And tom, you should come by and show the way to true rebellion, bring on the Nirvana, Acid and all that jazz.
Oh God, I don't want to imagine what's a Singaporean-govt-induced culture of debauchery would look like.
