Far from Christian
Aug. 10th, 2011 08:03 amBoy, sometimes I come across things that emphasize how far away I am from my Catholic upbringing: right now, there's a piece on NPR about a band called, Noah and the Whale.
I heard the teaser for the band profile, but when the announcer would mention the band's name, I'd think about this local guy named Jack Whaley.
It wasn't until the piece started Noah, being from the bible, and a Bible story involving a whale, came to my consciousness. Although, I just realized that the reason why I didn't make the intellectual connection is that the Bible story goes, "Jonah and the whale". That's good to get the explanation.
Although I guess it means something that it took me that long to remember Jonah.
