Loaded In The White Zone

by Michael Hart December 12, 2009

Frank Zappa leveled some stinging musical satire at The First Church of Appliantology, and never demonstrated much reluctance to share his opinions on churches, politicians, and other self-appointed interpreters of moral turpitude. (Robert Novak, you’re dead now, so stfu.) The few comments below by Frank, giving over the years here and there, aren’t infallible truths set into stone tablets that are kept in a vault in one of the better neighborhoods of Encino; they’re just some things he felt or believed.

Palin In The Land Of Goshen

by Michael Hart November 17, 2009

In 1973 Sarah Palin placed third runnerup in the Little Miss Land ‘O Goshen Beauty Pageant, and also winning best make-up, best teeth, and “most charmin’ young miss” awards. Historian Gaylord Smellisham of the Society of Beauty Pageant Dilettantes, produced the chilling photograph of a nine year old Sarah Palin that shows the young contestant had a remarkably adult face.

God Spies On Russians

by Michael Hart October 13, 2009

Well this proves God is on our side, right?  Right?
Well no.  It proves his immutable laws can create conditions which can occasionally produce clouds most of us have never seen.  This unusual cloud is known as a “fallstreak hole,” or “punch hole” cloud, and was filmed in Russia and ‘Tubed.  The technical explanation is here.
Still.  [...]

Happy Birthday, Jesus

by Terry August 21, 2009

Joshua Ben Joseph (Jesus) was born at noon, August 21, 7 B.C.

Note: It’s impossible to get into the Christmas spirit in August, so we don’t even try. But we do try to remember that the Creator of our little slice of reality was born into our world on the 21st of August, by excerpting some parts of the story in The Urantia Book.

Don’t It Make Your Red Eyes Blue

by Michael Hart October 13, 2008

It was late; my eyes were bloody red tired; I needed some music to get me focused for one last paragraph. But the debul must be fuckin’ with me. Who else could slip Wayne Newton’s “Dake Shaen” into my iTunes?!
Anyway. I put it in the trash, and played this.
A little out of sync maybe.  Maybe [...]

100% ABSOLUTE TRUTHINESS

by Michael Hart October 5, 2008

One of the greatest attractions of patriotism— it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what’s more, with a feeling we are profoundly virtuous.
— Aldous Huxley

“Country First” John McCain: “I am not a perfect vessel.”
I’ll see your “Country First” and raise [...]

Reality Bites

by Terry September 20, 2008

More galaxies than grains of sand on every beach of this world.
Taken with the Hubble Deep Field, January 15, 1996
Since it’s a lovely morning, why don’t we take stock of a few things that most of us take for granted. Let’s start with some practical aspects of “reality.”  Here we are— billions of us— [...]

The Difference Between Palin and Bush?

by Propagandee September 8, 2008

Lipstick.
To the apocalypse lobby, Sarah Palin is everything that they had hoped George W. Bush would be; and more.
Making what a lot of fundies consider a downpayment on the rapture, Bush told Palestinian leaders at the White House in June ‘03 that he was instructed by God to remove Saddam from power:
“God told me, [...]

The Scattered Brotherhood

by Terry June 15, 2008

Surrendering To Love

YOU HAVE UNDERTAKEN THE GREAT ADVENTURE of becoming sons of God, and you have to go through a sort of untangling to reach this place of communion and awareness. Be assured that your sole duty is to go within and dissolve by releasing the outer entanglements, to surrender appetites and forebodings.
The question [...]

The Urantia Papers

by Terry June 6, 2008

The most extraordinary book to ever appear on this planet happens to be so circumstantially insulated from the ordinary channels of inquiry that even after a half million copies are loose in the world it remains a great cosmic mystery. I refer to The Urantia Book, about which there is so much to say yet [...]

What It Means To Be Human

ADAM and EVE by Ernst Fuchs
Our friend Sherry at A Feather Adrift has written another thought provoking essay on a range of religious issues. I’ve winnowed out several of her interesting questions for comment here. If you have time I suggest you read it there before you read this response.

BUSH VISITS MY OFFICE

by Michael Hart April 21, 2008

Yep, Chimpy stopped by our office today. The hardcore software geeks have their own communal cell near the center of the campus circles. I was almost finished painting a mural on the last wall of their cube farm, one of four twenty foot tall stucco constraints with no windows; at least the poor [...]

Church and State in America

by Terry March 22, 2008

Anyone who hasn’t noticed the rabid up-tick in the perceived toxic ties between the presidential candidates and their religious affiliations gets a sincere “get well soon,” because you have to be in some kind of coma. The only one who appears to have escaped the holy vetting is Mrs Clinton, which may speak more [...]

Thank God it’s Friday.

by Terry February 29, 2008

Unless, of course, you don’t believe in God. In that case, thank the total chance existence of a great sequencer of an apparently infinite number of sequential moments of reality that, lucky for us, somehow attaches to— and brings forth out of nothing?— the individual consciousness of billions of sentient beings on this planet, and [...]
