Heehee. Yeah, folks can get a little miffed when you read things in terms of allegory that they take to be literal, historical fact. Joseph Campbell would have been proud of ya, even if your parents weren't. As I understand it, BTW, that whole "died for our sins" thing is a fairly modern interpretation that really hasn't been around all that long at all. Started with an east coast pastor, I think. 1800s. I could be wrong. You could look it up & stuff. If ya wanna. I ain't gonna. Mostly 'cuz I don't care. :)— November 22, 2010 8:48 p.m.

"Any intelligent person will live a life with principles." Ooooh nooooooo. You did 'not' just equate intelligence with virtue, did you Grantie? http://dead-silence.org/?p=260— November 22, 2010 8:39 p.m.

The Baha'i are my second favorite, next to UU. It's the one I most identify with. Very similar in attitude. Unity is my 3rd choice; very progressive, positive Christianity that focuses only on Jesus & the New Testament. Unity churches typically have a bookstore that sells a lot of books you might call "New Age." Deepak Chopra & the like. Those are really the only 3 I have any use for, personally. Of the mainstream, Lutherans and Methodists are the easiest to get along with. But I haven't been to any church in years, myself. Might hook back up with the UUs sometime. Atheists are welcome there, BTW. :)— November 21, 2010 8:56 p.m.

"Kingdom Hall's, Catholic masses, Assemblies of God, you name it, I've been there, even to Mormon churches." How about Unitarian Universalist, Unity, or Baha'i?— November 21, 2010 8:29 p.m.

Sadly, most humans seem to require Big Sky Daddy standing over them with the big stick in order to motivate them towards decent behavior. The best ones don't. :)— November 21, 2010 6:51 p.m.
David Elliott’s Declaration of Pleasure
Thanks for your review on the Hildegard film! I'd have missed it for sure. Wrote a paper on her "cosmic egg" once upon a time. Fascinating woman. I'll be scooting over to the Ken tomorrow to view it. :)— November 18, 2010 9:24 p.m.
good thing she's not using a shipping tube
Yup, he's Postal, all right. Used to say it all the time: UPS hires only out-of-work male models, and our guys all looked like... http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/usa/images-…— November 18, 2010 8:57 p.m.
Belmont Park Predicament Not Amusing
Just learned of the Belmont Park situation over this past weekend. Once it's razed to the ground, it 'could' be condos that go up, but the first thing that came to mind for me was an enormous luxury hotel... ...likely owned by Sheik Mohammed of Dubai, or some other foreign interest. :(— November 17, 2010 4:03 p.m.
Haiku - A - Day
The Sky knows no bounds It spreads Itself forever It knows no limits. ******************** The Earth is jealous She gazes out at the Sky miffed at her roundness. ********************* The Sky soothes the Earth bathing her roundness in Rain until she is calmed. ********************** The Earth smiles upwards reaching to the Sky with trees, attempting embrace. :) :) :) :) :)— November 13, 2010 2:25 p.m.
Only Love Can Make a Grizzly Dance
