Reg,

Were the Jesus “holes” you sold anything like Krispy Kreme Doughnut Holes, only made with the same consecrated flour as The Host? 😁

The City of Gastonia was not named after the dinosaur, but does share two traits with the extinct great lizard species: It is fossil-frozen in time and has brains the size of chickpeas. 😁

I like the Dinosaur vid with Baby Sinclair. I shall add a Gastonia later to my crib for the sweet little baby Jesus to ride around on 🙂

Reg,

The story from TruthOut on faulty, phony police technology reminds me of this story fresh from my hometown, which is clearly a human problem:

Former Gastonia officer accused of selling drugs, using badge to buy guns

Reg,

Thanks for confirming that. I knew something was amiss when I took a second look.

I still can’t guess the other characters. Are they Transformers? Masters of the Universe? Magic The Gathering? Garbage Pail Kids? There’s so much catching up I need to do.

Of course not Enco!! There were only 3 wise men!

All con-men hone their act from watching religious charlatans.  I once got in trouble in school for trying to sell the holes in Jesus’s hands and feet to the very religious students!!

Reg,

Oh wait! There’s no forth Darth Vader. That was part of the wooden creche and paradolia on the part of my bad eyes. I’m getting a new prescription of eyeglasses for the coming New Year!

Speaking of creches, I’ve seen ads for pieces of stone that the vendor claimed came from the creche where Jesus was born. Funny, every creche I’ve seen…[Read more]

Reg,

Nice creche you have there! I recognize Batman The Dark Knight Angel and Deanna Troi and William Riker as Mary and Joseph.

In real life Sci-Fi and comic book realms, I don’t think Bruce Wayne would be a flunkie for JHVH-1, since JHVH-1 let Waybe’s parents get murdered.

And Troi and Riker would not appreciate getting raped and cuckolded…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg!

Have a great week everyone!

Fellow Unbelievers,

Some egg-on-face for everyone: One egg for me thinking that the Israelis were universally-armed, but a whole soufflé for anyone who thinks the policy of gun control has a friendly outcome:

Greetings, Unapologetic!

I’m glad to see that somebody else is a big-pants person about Misinformation/Disinformation/Malinformation (MDM *Growl!* 🦁)

We don’t need a Mary Poppins like Nina Jankowitz or anyone else to protect us from MDM. We only need what ol’ TJ espoused: “…the homage of Reason rather than blindfolded fear.”

Disinformation? HA! Religions have been bombarding us with disinformation our whole lives. (and I’m 71) I’d like to think that by now I can spot disinformation better than anyone.

That photos link at the Atlantic, wants us to subscribe, for money, before it will show any photos.

Of course! Everything happens for a reason, even if those initially unfathomable, unpredictable reasons are married into and can’t be divorced from determinism. Does that make universal sense? Maybe it’s a believable, secular analog to God made it happen, fatefully, in His infinitely mysterious ways. While Jesus runs the PR depa…

More about the poet here. Yes, that poem Gertrude resonates with me from the experiences of my own mother  (who also had the same name has the poet) as I think it probably does with many of us.

Reading a poem when not expecting to has an impact.  My friends mother is close to her death….as Hitchens said, there is no stage 5….and she visits m…[Read more]

RE: Pakistan: Woman killed after being seen with man in viral photo.

It would be fun to ask Muslims if their long-ago ancestors were Jews, Christian, or Pagans. Their incredibly down-throttled brains would simply short-circuit.

Reg,

A gut-wrenching poem there! Not made easier by the fact that some of her beholders would still believe!

Powerful poetry Reg.

Thanks, Reg 🙂
