Proof Enough

If 'Jesus' really wanted believers he
should have set himself/themselves 
up like 'Candyman' or 'Bloody Mary;'
Cuz if I call your name, I'm gonna
need you to show up if you want me
to trust you!

I can't be having any unreliable
invisible, voiceless friends!

(I know the book says he knocked 
3 times, but that trick ain't playing
out any more--conveniently enough.)

Gosh--all the limits on these
 omnipotent creations!

Father, Figured

It's not coincidence that the god concept (in the 
most popular, widespread religions and beliefs)
is crafted as male.

Products of masculinity-based cultures, the 
patriarchies of the past sought to instill continued
obedience. 

The traditionally masculine attributes of animosity,
ferociousness, possessiveness, dominance, aggression,
hawkishness, chaos-mindedness, pettiness, jealousy, 
and all the other egoistic, out of control, power-hungry
traits of 'god' originate in his creator, man.

Thus they are given a 'divine' blessing when god
exemplifies these behaviors and traits.

If anything is permissible in one's attempts to
advance the 'will of god,' then nothing can be
questioned.

Just look to the current G.O.P. politicians to 
see how the fixed notion of 'manly, righteous,
disaffected god' is used to promote and defend
all manner of heinous efforts.

"Altho it's been said, many times, many ways...."


What the Fuckwas this show doing on The History Channel!?!?!

Shoulda been on Sy-Fy at the very least.

Are they sure they don't want to make
some more revisions before they show it again?

Or come up with a new tag line?

"Most fantastically absurd story ever told...
(emphasis on 'told!'")

"The most heavily edited story ever rewritten."

"Featuring swipes from most every religion and
secular source in the known world!"

"You will believe a world religion can dominate
common sense and reality!"

And let's not pretend the 'Devil' looking like
the President was any kind of mix-up or oversight.
Burnett and his wife are part of the same nut ball
Tea-Party hardcore right-wing Republican gang
of conservative thugs that hold to all the abnormal
prefixes of said same; anti-gay, anti-choice, Obama
conspiratists, etc.--Hell, they even promote forced
teaching of The Bible in public schools!

I love how these folks produce a flowery, kind-
hearted epic like this to put a smiley-spin on the
story, and to distract from the fact that the gist
of the actual teachings bears nothing in common
to the strident and demanding sycophants that
dominate these for-profit organizations seeking
to control people and politics.

Given the ratings for this crap fest, I guess
America's still in decline in terms of intellect
and critical thinking. Desperate times produce
desperate actions. Guess that's what the backers
were planning on the whole time.
