When the Plymouth Brethren came to America they just wanted to be left the Frig alone. They had their way of worshiping and that is how they wanted to do it. This sentiment made it into the founding doctrines of our country. The most misunderstood is the separation of church and state. It is now believed that anything having to do with religion in public schools, governmental buildings our state colleges cannot be tolerated.
This view of the separation of church and state is complete crap and for the final time I will tell you why. In Europe and England there were state mandated religions, so in our new republic the founding fathers set up a barrier to inhibit government mandating a certain religion. Mainly, they were concerned with Catholicism, Calvinism or Lutheranism being mandated. Many of the founding fathers were Deists so in the technical sense not even Christian, but they were well aware of what could happen if the titular head of the government was also the grand poohbah of the state mandated religion. They had 1700 years of history to bear out the holocaust that could occur.
Now we are facing a religious holocaust brought on by those who want to be tolerant of a religion that has sects that are extremely intolerant. It is now in vogue to celebrate Ramadan in our public schools as an exercise in world culture and tolerance. This pig scheist is in direct contradiction of the incorrect version of the separation of church and state. If the incorrect version of the separation of church and state is to be enforced, Ramadan, nor other Islamic teachings should be allowed to be discussed in public schools. Why this is happening may be because of the perceived backlash of anti-Arabic/Muslim sentiments after 9/11. Nonetheless, the rule of law must be upheld, even if it is incorrectly enforced.
A more enlightened and multicultural approach would to spend two semesters on all world religions, INCLUDING CHRISTIANITY! As a student of comparative religions I have found that while the mythos may differ, most of the precepts of law and treatment of mankind are very similar. Even many of the martyrs of the Christos' are strikingly similar. Witness the crucifixion of Krishna from Hindu fame and that of Jesus Christ. While separated by thousands of years the allegory of the sacrifice of one for the providence of the many resonates today. Witness, the Hari Krishna's mobbing one at the airport and the Jehovah Witnesses mobbing one at ones house.
If we are not going to enforce the separation of church and state as originally intended can we at least do away with the religious bigotry of the educational politicos. More importantly, besides the tolerance one would learn from the study of world religions, perhaps many of our children would find peace and enlightenment in a particular religion. This may result in a reduction of drug abuse, abortions, teen violence and the basic ennui of most teens of generations of all ages.
This essay was not to be meant as a slam on Islam, at least the peaceful adherents of Islam, but rather the closed minded school administrators whose idea of thinking out of the box is trying on the new pair of Nike Shox.

US GAS Rolls On
Response Editorial by: Fred Rancid
I am upset and perturbed by Wyndham-Price's response to my proposal to the USOC, since it has not been formally proposed for competitive flatulence to be included in the Olympic Games. I do feel betrayed or should I say back stabbed, but if I would have been more prepared for a flatulent outburst I doubt that Wyndham-Price's stooge could have ever leaked my plan.
Yes, I think the United States could have supremacy in competitive flatulence, but not because we are the United States, but because we are a nation of immigrants made up of many habits, diets, and flatulent capacities. Simply, farting is not expelling stinky gas with a bit of musical chamber, but, more of an art where one must expel, insinuate and inspire in one act of intestinal and rectal art.
If competitive flatulence is allowed into the Olympics only for volume of timber, or quality of stench then competitive flatulence is not worth being an art of the Olympics. Competitive Flatulence is more about wine tasting and competitive gymnastics. Imagine Nadia Comenici doing a perfect dismount while urinating a "1967 Cote de Beaunne-Villages" in a shot glass while not dropping a spot outside the dismount area.
It is not about blowing wind, or letting fly with massive stench; it is about letting the eternal wind loose while one honors the flavors, scents and manifestations of Gaiea. My vision of competitive flatulence is beauty, while I fear the world's is destructive bombardment. If that is the case, the world is not ready, nor sophisticated enough to handle true appreciation of the flatulent art.

Competitive Flatulence in the Olympics
Special Editorial from Garth Wyndham-Price
I have heard from the centre of "As Above so Below" that there is a movement to include competitive flatulence in the Olympics. It is my understanding that Fred Rancid is the main colour bearer of this movement. It is understandable that the United States would look for another sport in which they could prevail.
Most in the free world will not dispute that the 1972 U.S. Olympic basketball team received the green weenie in the Gold medal match. However, Mr. Rancid and the USOC, especially should tread carefully when they think they can dominate the world Farting Competition. Witness only the Eastern bloc Europeans whose sole diet is sauerkraut and blood sausage of Pygmy donkeys. Flatulence in these countries is not an interesting pastime, but a biological need of survival. Gats man, have you ever tried to pass a pygmy donkey hove.
Likewise, it is my perception that Mr. Rancid has forgotten his friends to the south. Oh yes, there are the Mexicans who mainly live on rice and beans, but that is Holy Water compared to the Haitians whose main diet is lava rocks and beaks of sacrificed voodoo chickens. Let us not forget the Jamaicans, their diet is quite healthful, but their consumption of ganja and magic mushrooms allows them to mystically expel the pent up frustrations of their ancestors.
I am an Anglophile, I believe our Scottish friends could compete. Lord knows the Irish would blow the perfect storm just to piss in the Queens face, but do we-- the UK and the US have the talent to overcome those that are forced, by their natural surroundings, have the ability to overcome that with our training and nutritional supplementation. I think not.

The Wonder Bread of Southern Rock
Guest Columnist Cameron S. Thompson
Lynyrd Skinyrd's Southern anthem "Freebird" is perhaps the most popular song of Southern Rock fans. However, it has suffered the same demise as Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven". It is interesting that fantastic songs can lose their luster by over exposure.
In the 1980's invariably there were several drunk pseudo-cowboys screaming "Freebird" at last call. Many bands complied and that was the beginning of the downward spiral of the Wonder Bread of Southern Rock. The Allman Brothers band may have a valid argument about that one moment when Southern Rock reached the pinnacle of Rock Stardom.
However, "Freebird" came at the right moment and the three hour solo at the end of the song did not hurt fan the fervor at concerts. But, then "Freebird" became trite. Cover bands used it for their closing set, movies used it to depict anything from entering the deep south to reminiscing the '70's. But as all trite things they soon run their course and vanish into the Kingdom of Triteness.
"Freebird" has had a recent resurrection used in an emotionally inspiring way that brings back the great memories that "Freebird" once evoked. "Freebird" was used in Forest Gump when his long time love, Jenny, coked out, is on the ledge contemplating suicide. The song has even made it into pop-culture iconic status as the Simpsons. Perhaps, the most amusing and moving use of "Freebird" is in Cameron Crowe's movie "Elizabethtown". The Skynird version is not even used, but the passion and humor is moving to any lover of the song.
But, for God's sake please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please quit shouting "Freebird" at last call at a local club. The original reason to shout "Freebird" was prompted by a DJ who thought it would be funny to do so at a Florence Henderson concert--I agree that is hilarious, but any other use of the shout should result in the immediate removal of the taint meat of said shouter.

lol ;)--hey don't pee in me Tea or I'll give you one in shcnauz
Both of you that read my blog know that I have a habit of getting wordy. I think my biggest issue may be the quasi-synthetic flavors I give the Ionic rythms of my rhetoric blah abalablahbllahll.
Briefly, by brief I mean under 3,000 words, I am concerned about what You Tube and sites like it are doing to our written means of communication. OK, I know there is not a soul that is looking for perfect grammar on these boards, but should one get slammed for putting 3 sentences together? I gave a brief editorial on why I thought Freebird was the peak of Southern Rock anthems and was slammed for my thoughts. I did not think it was that cerebral nor did I feel I was writing down to the audience, but slammed I was.
I should be fair, I made some editorial comments on the "Infinite Godness" of Guns and Roses, and got some thumbs up. I am on the cusp of being a baby boomer and Gen Xer, but love bands like Sum41 and Mest, but think it's OK to give a 3 line written comment without being called mr. Smartypants...and by the way sir it is Lord Smarty, Third Duchee of Pants, and Protectorate of the Royal Garter.
Good Day Sir and for my Gen Yers that means "tsup Vfly owt".
As a post script, todays article was to be entitled "Only Virgins Need Apply". Please drop me a line and let me know if my choice was correct.

Vick Goes Down, Pro Choice, Pro Life and Lesbos Unite
So Michael Vick goes down. He is now admitting his savagery of breeding and fighting pit-bulls. So all enlightened can feel happy, self-righteous and pat each other on the back. State will now pass bills that will make it illegal or even more illegal (can something be more illegal--see undocumented workers versus illegal aliens). Mark one for the good guys these sweet lovable animals will now be raised to become family dogs rather than dogs that can bring a bull down, for which they were bred.
No longer will there be carcasses thrown aside because they are no longer needed by the owner. This will no longer happen to pit-bulls, but viable humans will be partially delivered and their brains will be sucked out of their heads and its carcass is thrown aside. How enlightened do you feel now?
Howl and scream all you want about the women's right to choose, but once that women is 8 months old in the womb she should have the same rights. Believe it or not I am not Anti-abortion. There are times they should be done, but since we are all enlightened and we use condoms and birth control their is little need for abortion--right.
I think PETA, GLAAD, and all Pro-Life groups, as well as pro-baby groups, pro-grandparents and pro- Aunts and Uncles should form a coalition to see that third tri-mester babies receive the same right as pit-bulls. After we take the first step of being equal to pit-bulls we can then start a campaign that third trimester babies are people.
I did leave out one special interest group that could also benefit from us not killing babies in the mothers womb, and that is all the straight parents that are unable to have children but would love to nurture one. However, when you can make an alliance with PETA, GLAAD and the NRA you will get some media coverage. I think most in the NRA would support not killing children in their mother's womb. Now that is a coalition PETA, NRA and GLAAD. Just imagine the parade all floats would be powered by hybrid vehicles. The NRA members could have their 12 gauge painted the Gay pride colors and wear leather thongs. Meanwhile, PETA would supply large amounts of carrots for the colorful GLAAD members to throw to the crowd. Keep your calendar open for this one

Krishna, Jesus, JFK, and Barack Obama
Special Guest Editorial by "Dios the Martyr"
There will be many offended by this article but, I hope it will offend all equally. I have penchant for philosophy, esoteric studies, and world religions and have found it strange how these subjects are becoming increasingly similar to modern politics. This is not a new phenomenon, but during the Crusades religion was your politics and philosophy.
In more modern times Hitler amalgamated all of these components to take a Germanic people with a suffering economy, and still hurting from WWl to unite in this strange uber-cult of racial purity and the need for world domination so the pure Arians could begin the 1000 year reich. There is much speculation that Hitler was part of the Thule Society, an esoteric and some say Satanic organization. The point is mute as Hitler's plan whether Satanic or otherwise damn near worked.
What is interesting about all demi-gods, gods incarnate, or charismatic politicians is they are looked upon as Saviours. Another interesting thing about these so called "Saviours" is there seems to be a repetition in history or a mythos that raises them to a quasi-deity status. Their demise, or rather the story of their demise puts them in a pantheon of a select few.
I will not bore you with the story of Krishna. It is very ancient and its veracity could be questioned, but he was sacrificed on a cross and became a god. This occurred at least 1000 years before Jesus Christ suffered the same demise. Now was the Christ mythos used to spring-board Christianity from a small Jewish cult to a new religion which may eventually lead to power and dare we say it riches. Let us first examine what the political and cultural atmosphere was during the life of Jesus.
Until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scroll and the Qumranian texts, most of what we had to base the life of Jesus on was the Holy Gospel and some historians vague writings 100 years after the crucifixion. However, we now have learned that Jesus was part of the Qumarnian society, what would now be considered something similar to a monastery. Some say the society at Qumran was in fact the Essenes, but lets leave that discussion for another day as there is something much more factual and interesting concerning what appears in our bibles.
Several time Jesus was referred to as Jesus of Nazareth. Scholars have combed through the detailed Roman records of 30AD and there is no record of a town called Nazareth. So why was Jesus tagged with this moniker? Jesus was a Nazarite or more correctly a Nasorean, a holy man that kept very strict cleanliness laws. Another interesting dichotomy is the use of the word Messiah. In our modern English Messiah means a saviour that is sent from Heaven to save the world from the edge of destruction. However, to the Jews of two millenniums ago messiah meant a leader that would lead them from subjugation of the Romans, Babylonians, Hittites, etc. Was Jesus considered a Messiah--yes. He was a holy man that was intent on rallying the Jews to accept the Testament that was passed down from Jehovah to Moses and through the line of David.
In light of these new discoveries many Christians may go ballistic at the thought that Jesus was not the Son of God, the Holy Spirit and God. My purpose of this essay is not to demean Jesus or Christians, but to perhaps the veracity of the early church fathers who seemed to look at the Christ mythos of Krishna, Adonis, Mithra and many other "deities" that preceded Jesus. In point of fact, setting aside the matter of Jesus' divineness his teachings that are being extracted from the new found scrolls are thousands of years ahead of his time. He taught that all humans had the right of citizenship, yes including women. He believed that if mankind lead a pious life and the leaders acted in an ethical manner there would be a balance and peace that would be very similar to what many Christians will be established with the second coming of Jesus. Divinity or not this was a brilliant man and we should strive to establish his teachings, just as the founding fathers and many others have fought for.
So what does this rather esoteric history lesson have to do with American politics of the last fifty years? John F. Kennedy was a charismatic leader that was witty, attractive and showed leadership. He was also a philanderer and would pursue victory no matter the cost. Simply, he was human he had many excellent talents but had some faults also. Kennedy's presidency was not particularly outstanding, but he did avert the Cuban missile crisis and passed a Reaganesque tax cut (I know that is heresy to many of our left leaning partisans). Yet, Kennedy is thought of as one of our most inspiring Presidents--why?
Most of the credit should go to Jackie Kennedy--she instituted a Christ mythos, Camelot. King Arthur another mythical Christ like figure who had many years of peace and prosperity. Another, astute action by Mrs. Kennedy was mimicking the funeral of Abraham Lincoln. This subconsciously linked JFK with another great President that was lost too early. Again, a Christ mythos from the past elevates a person to the pantheon of the superior humans in history.
Barack Obama has many of the talents that JFK had. Will he become President? Who knows, but my fear is if he becomes President will we have another candidate for entry into the pantheon of the Christ mythos. While the radical race-haters have diminished in numbers, their intensity of hate has grown. I, like many, fear that Mr. Obama would not survive his first term.
Which brings us back to the teachings of Jesus. A people that live a righteous life in partnership with an ethical and non-self serving government could have a form of heaven on earth. That does not seem probable in the near future. My hope is their really is a Saviour in the pantheon of the Christ Mythos that will intervene. For now our politicians make the Sanhedrins look like the Red Cross. God have mercy on our souls.
Note from Victor: This is some pretty volatile stuff that "Dios the Martyr" has written so I welcome all guest editorials that are well thought out and not demeaning or just rants about fire and brimstone.

He was also a philanderer and would pursue victory no matter the cost. Simply, he was human he had many excellent talents but had some faults also. Kennedy's presidency was not particularly outstanding, but he did avert the Cuban missile crisis and passed a Reaganesque tax cut (I know that is heresy to many of our left leaning partisans). Yet, Kennedy is thought of as one of our most inspiring Presidents--why?
Most of the credit should go to Jackie Kennedy--she instituted a Christ mythos, Camelot. King Arthur another mythical Christ like figure who had many years of peace and prosperity. Another, astute action by Mrs. Kennedy was mimicking the funeral of Abraham Lincoln. This subconsciously linked JFK with another great President that was lost too early. Again, a Christ mythos from the past elevates a person to the pantheon of the superior humans in history.
Barack Obama has many of the talents that JFK had. Will he become President? Who knows, but my fear is if he becomes President will we have another candidate for entry into the pantheon of the Christ mythos. While the radical race-haters have diminished in numbers, their intensity of hate has grown. I, like many, fear that Mr. Obama would not survive his first term.
Which brings us back to the teachings of Jesus. A people that live a righteous life in partnership with an ethical and non-self serving government could have a form of heaven on earth. That does not seem probable in the near future. My hope is their really is a Saviour in the pantheon of the Christ Mythos that will intervene. For now our politicians make the Sanhedrins look like the Red Cross. God have mercy on our souls.
Note from Victor: This is some pretty volatile stuff that "Dios the Martyr" has written so I welcome all guest editorials that are well thought out and not demeaning or just rants about fire and brimstone.

The Question of National Pride
As the only state or republic that can fly its flag at the same level as the American flag, I am troubled by the recent capitulation of Oregon to the Republic of Mexico. When Texas fought for its independence from Mexico, it was not just white Anglo-Saxon settlers that joined in the battle. A quick visit to the sacred shrine of the Alamo proves that there were numerous heroes of Latin descent that fought the despot Santa Anna (not the legendary guitar shredder, Santana, but the General of the Mexican Army).
While Spanish was spoken by most Texican settlers, no Texan patriots felt the need to fly the Mexican flag over their captured territory. One wonders why Oregon is compelled to escalate the Mexican flag over the sovereign American flag of the republic to which they belong; especially, when this stature in flag position is based on the simple fact that some people at the Oregon Employment Department speak Spanish.
The fact that they are flying the Mexican flag is extremely insensitive and in fact racist. While Guatemalans, El Salvadorans, Panamanians and Hondurans have a similar racial composition, a mixture of Spanish conquistadores and native tribes they have neither pride nor interest in seeing the Mexican flag elevated over the Stars and Stripes. Moreover, if one insinuated that a Cuban, Dominican or Puerto Rican was Mexican or had any interest in La Raza would probably receive an insult in the most rapid Spanish spoken on the planet; damn they can speak Spanish fast. Finally, if one has a death wish call a Spaniard a Mexican, it would be safer to do the running of the bulls blindfolded with a gallon of sangria in ones stomach. The Spanish language does not equate to Mexican heritage.
To assist the Oregon Employment Department in a lesson in American sovereignty and multi-culturalism a contingent of Texans; White, Hispanic, Black and Vietnamese are prepared to descend upon the Department in question and enforce the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10. This action by Jean Work is arrogant and an insult to all Americans and all Latinos not of Mexican heritage. Ms. Work I suggest you remember the Alamo, Guadal Canal, Iwa Jima and the soldiers in Iraq. See you in a couple weeks when we lower the Mexican Flag and raise that of the Lone Star State. Maybe that will shock you into some sense of sanity or reasonableness.
Recordar el Alamo! Recordar Goliad!

Only the Jews Written in Adam's Book can Be Saved
My continuing swapping of e-mails with an Australian Pentecostal pre-millenialist has taken a mind blowing turn. Our discussion evolved to who can be saved. I posited that if a Jew accepted Jesus as his personal saviour, was baptised and confessed his sins he could be accepted into the Kingdom of God. My all-knowing sacerdote proclaimed if they were from the seed of Adam they would be accepted, but if descended from Cain they were doomed. For all Christians that may be reading this blog please forgive me for my following comment--What the Fuck?!?
First of all, most scholars agree that the myth of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden is a derivation from a Sumerian origin myth. So who is the uber-genealogist that has kept track of those in the Book of Adam and the Book of Cain. Likewise, recent research has proven that their is no racial genetical link between those that call themselves Jews. Which makes sense since the Jews have been scattered all over the Mid-East, Europe, Africa and Asia.
Now I know that the Jews are a holy people, but I think it would be a safe assumption to say that many Jews had relations with their hosts/captors/slave-owners. So maybe a once pure Semite blood line was now intermingled with peoples from the known ancient world. So my query is if there is a "Jew" that is in the Book of Cain, but he has Teutonic, Mongol and Greek blood, is he condemned from the Kingdom of God?
Another interesting aspect of the all-holy, all-knowing, Jew hating, "Minister of God" is his assertion that the Holy Bible is canonical and all words are inspired by the Almighty. When I asked him how many books are in the bible he quickly proclaimed 66. But, a quick search on Wikipedia shows that the Catholics, Lutherans, Coptics and King James have a hard time on agreeing with which books should be in the Bible. Combine this with the infighting among the early Christians, which contained factions of Gnostics, those that believed Christ was a holy man but not the Son of God, and those that believed in the Divinity of Jesus. Much allegations of heresy were thrown around and Constantine finally put the sandal down at the Council of Nicene, which for the most part gives us the extant version of our current bible, with a bit of tweaking.
One troubling issue is the discovery of the Qumranian scrolls in the mid 1900's which were written during and shortly after the time of Christ. Some things that negates the supposed "accepted" bible is James the Just was the first leader of the Church of Jerusalem not Peter. "St." Paul was not following the teaching of Christ but inventing a "Christian" mystery religion that appealed to the Hellenic/Roman culture of the time. The magical actions of the Christ put him in the pantheon of the Hellenistic Gods. However, the Nasoreans or proto-Christians knew that Paul's teaching had nothing to do with the Messiah's gospels. Witness Paul's abduction when he brazenly entered the Jerusalem temple to address his "followers" when they started to stone him but eventually just imprisoned him in a shack on a hill overlooking the Temple. The true believers knew that Paul was the "Spouter of Lies" that was repeatedly mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Jesus' teachings were 1700 years before his time. He believed that all men AND women had the right to salvation. He believed as long as the faithful worshipped correctly and the King lead righteously, life would be in balance or Shalom. Teachings of great wisdom. I find it hard to believe that he would forsake his own "race" into the kingdom of Shalom.
And for those that still have a problem with this treatise ponder these two points. If the Dead Sea Scrolls prove that Jesus was not resurrected but died as a mortal, all of Christianity comes tumbling down on the one thing that made Christianity a religion--the Divinity of Christ. Likewise, Jesus of Nazareth was thought to be from Nazareth, but Nazareth did not exist until well after his death. Oh and one final point if Jesus was a Jew how did he get a Mexican name.

The Gospel According to Self-Righteous
I had a very interesting exchange of posts with a former Mason who became born again and was now in the most infallible correct church of God Almighty. Our discourse was civil and for me enlightening. The Pastor was under the impression that the United States of America was under the evil influence of communism. I did not completely disagree with him as the Socialist movement especially the Radical Environmental Socialist Movement was becoming a threat to society.
What started the rhetoric was my contention that most Masons I knew were very moral men and gave great and good effects on the society. It seems that the biggest issue in most of the charismatic/Pentecostal groups is they literally translate the word of the Gospel. They have problems with Masons because they do not view the Godhead as a triune. In fact they actually conduct rituals and worship what would be blasphemous in the strictest sense of hard-core Protestants and Catholics; and to add another category Charismatic/Pentecostals whom believe the gospel is the literal translation of the word of God and Constantiniun Council of Nicene did little to change the inspired word of God.
Aside from the extant apocryphal writings that have been around for several centuries, the scroll from Qumran have enlightened scholars to the political, social and spiritual atmosphere of around AD 30. There was great lost when John the Baptist was done away with and this left a void in the Qumranian structure. A figurative pillar on the right was meant to be that of the King and the figure on the right was that of the High Priest. These things have been discovered and many cases refute the writings in the "Holy Gospel".
My quasi/seminarian/historical rant is meant to warn those that are cornered by enthusiastic Christian types. There is a whole new work of the time that alters and frankly demystifies the so called Magical works that Jesus did. In fact, Jesus was more of a revolt leader against the Romans and Sanhedrins...most wont believe that, but if you want to blow their mind ask them why he was called Jesus of Nazareth. Most will proclaim he lived in Nazareth. Ask them to find to find Roman or Hellenic presence of Nazareth before 60 AD. Jesus was a Nasorean or Nazarite--see Samson, a holy man.
This rant is not to take away from the incredible teachings that were passed along by Jesus and his brother James the Just. More simply, it is to ask those that spew gospel from a 2,000 year old bible with numerous translations and derivations to simply agree there is a truth out there, but are we, no matter how much faith, equipped to truly proclaim on high this is what God meant!
One post script that differentiates Christianity from most other religions is, if Jesus did not arise to heaven on the third day we are dead in the water. But, does this negate the teaching of love, charity, prudence, aid to ones fellowman? I think not. Buddha died, Mohamed died (or went away), Krishna was crucified, and rose again. Could it be that Jung was right and there is an archetype that pervades the human psyche that connects certain emotional, spiritual and even sexual sub-conscious emotions.
I ask our charismatic/Pentecostal/Assembly of God and all other sects of the Gospel that proclaim the bible is the virtual history and word of God to briefly suspend their enormous faith and investigate if just possibly that 3000 years of verbal communication and multiple translations into various languages may have lightly alter what was meant to be the true Gospel?
What I am learning is, when all the myths and early church cover-ups are sifted through--there was a true Jerusalem Church that was motivated and infused with the teaching of Jesus and James the Just carried on this true holy Gospel, until the Paulians bastardized it with an Hellenic Mystery Religion that has little to do with the true Gospel of Jesus. Thus, Pauls condemnation of the Phillipians, Galations; etc..
Open your eyes! Yes, use the bible as a reference, but also look at the writings that were rejected by the later church but were written during or shortly after Jesus' deaths. Likewise. become familiar with parlance of the Jews of that time. The English translation cannot be taken at face value. One must put the scriptures in the meanings of the Jews and Romans of that time.
I don't plan to convert anybody, hell I don't have anything to convert anybody to, but I would like some people to open their minds and look beyond the written scripture. The thought that a Levitical Jew would, in the case of Lazarus, touch a rotting putrefying corpse to bring him back to life, simply goes against all cleanliness rules of that time--especially that of a holy man. THINK ABOUT IT!

Pit Bulls, Doping Cyclists, The NFL, Abortions and Denial of Lesbo Adoptions
I never thought I would appreciate the code of ethics of the methamphetamine inspired Hells Angels. A great philosopher once said, " I much more trust the bastard that tells me he is going to stab me in the back, then the shiny toothed politico that is shaking my hand warmly while preparing to stab me in the back." The Hells Angels are pretty much the bastards that will kick, stomp, or obliterate ones arse if a certain line is crossed. Yet, after said arse is kicked, stomped or otherwise assaulted you will be welcome to have a cordial with the Angels.
The Hells Angels discussion may seem a bit outside the realm of the title of this posting but, I wanted to contrast the iconic bad boys of the last fifty years to seemingly valid organizations and their continual journey into ethical compromising and disambiguity. One may think I am referring to the NFL, Professional Baseball and the governing bodies of professional cycling, but I am not. It is no secret that these professional sports organizations have been slow to act on doping and performance enhancing agents, but they have continually tightened the noose on those that try to cheat the system.
Special props should be given to the Tour de France and several teams that self governed themselves and threw out their stars because of a hint of doping. Yellow Jersey owner, Michael Rasmussen, was kicked off the Rabobank team simply because he could not account for where he was several months before the Tour. As of this writing, there is still no evidence that illegal enhancing agents have been found in his samples. Let me stress, the Tour officials did not ask Rasmussen to vacate, HIS TEAM DID! Surely if cycling can self-govern, the Commissioner of Baseball can grow some nads and enforce some form of steroid enforcement--see Barry Bonds.
This narrative may make one think that it is my view that the NFL should immediately expel Michael Vick from the League for his pending dog fighting ring case. As horrendous and despicable as dog fighting is Vick has not been found guilty, nor is it a performance enhancing agent that will assist Vick with his QB rating. Additionally, if Vick is found guilty and given probation he should be allowed to play, if any team will have him---see Jerry Jones. Vick's real judgement will come when Karma puts him in the 9th level of Hell populated by butt-hungry dobermans and pit bulls; much more equitable than a two year suspension from the NFL.
Which brings us to the villains of the month--PETA or the People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals. Admittedly, they are dogging Vick to no end about his case, but if we are going to give animals the same basic civil rights as humans can we agree that this principle should be given to all mammals that do not have the ability to defend themselves? Yes, this is where I launch into the trite and tired defense of late term abortions.
The victimization of fighting dogs is not right and senseless. Yet, why should those that have late term abortions, by late term I refer to 8 months and older, be treated any different than Michael Vick. Those that opt for killing an 8 month old fetus are in some sense more diabolical than those that breed dogs for fighting. Firstly, with the all powerful condom now universally accessible how can there be any unwanted pregnancies. Secondly, if for some reason there is a condom failure it can only be considered sadistic to wait seven months to destroy what is at that point a human being. Finally, it is selfish and inconsiderate for those that opt for a late term abortion rather than allowing Gay and Lesbian couples to have a chance to adopt these viable humans.
Abortion is the law of the land and there can be no legal standing against the ghouls that kill their babies a month from being born, but again there is always karma. I believe PETA and GLAAD should align to extinguish all violence and torture to mammals and other animals. Michael Vick's actions, if true are beyond the pale of humanity, but what of a human that destroys another viable human being with apposable thumbs, heartbeat and brain waves because it was simply inconvenient. Vick is the bastard that tells you he is about to stab you in the back, but the late term abortion mother is the white toothed politician the nurtures and feeds you for eight or nine months and then sucks your brains out. One is evil the other supremely diabolical in a meaningless self-centered way. This world needs neither.
Which brings us back to egalitarianism of the Hells Angels and it seems the professional cycling world is adapting their version of self-rule just as their motorized brothers. For the rest of lost, directionless, selfish and simply brainless self-interest groups there is but one solace. The Beelzebub of the media, Mark Burnett, will forever trump any evilness, diabolism or sin that the aforementioned groups committed; for he, Mark Burnett, is the one that gave a platform to the Anti-Christ--Clay Aikens. May God have mercy on his soul.
