I am not allowed to question just how large God’s penis is; since that is blasphemous. Equally blasphemous of course, is denying his ‘maleness’, his ‘Y chromosome’. No substituting Father with Mother; no daughter was worthy enough to be sacrificed for mankind’s salvation.Yet Jesus was not only a liberal drinking wine at weddings, talking to women ( Read more... )

Israel is destroying Lebanon with impunity and no one pays attention to the Israeli infractions. And what right does Lebanon have to defend itself? If Lebanon, dared to do what Israel is doing to it now, it would be labeled "terrorist." Israel is destroying Lebanon while Bush And Blair puts its head in the sand! These atrocities must stop!

Everyone knows what is happening, and within two full choruses -- each of which is sung faster than the one before -- I get it, too. It’s a declaration. It’s a joyful noise. It’s a spelling game that forms a credo sung full and loud and silly ( Read more... )

I try to take it all in and the feeling lightens my head, leaving me giddy.
I LOVE YOU MARYJANE I LOVE YOU MARYJANE I LOVE YOU MARYJANE I LOVE YOU MARYJANE....
Am I having a religious experience?
