That Church of the Subgenius (they have a pretty good radio show) link reminds me that I'm an ordained minister. I got it online at Universal Life Church just as a joke.... but hey, now I can legally marry people.
but if anyone wants to get an easy 1000 dollars, you can prove him wrong by dividing the day into an arbitrary number of subdays and give each a name -- his naming scheme is based on the standard english divisions of the day and that is why he gets four divisions... Basically if you show that you can divide the day into twenty four divisions you catch him admitting that the day can be divided into twenty four divisions which is precisely a 1-24 hour day...
Yeah, I understood what he was getting at; makes me wonder how much crazy i got in me...

Funny? I was all my life taught to think the catholic way, in schools, by mum and such.
But there are just too many questions with no real answers .. that The Way I was told to think didn't make much sense, not even when I was 4 or 5 .. I remember people lieing as they had no clue / didn't want to think. When I was about 10, I read some biographies and thoughts of Siddhartha, they just made a bit more sense. \
A 4 word answer to the real question: I am not religious.
I was looking for power in christianity too, but the ministers wouldn't tell me how I could levitate things and make people's heads explode in a cloud of bloody mist. They just looked at me like I was retarded.
I WANT POWER!!!@# POWER!!!!!!!
notnecessarily that kind of power, i mean, i never "felt" the presence of god, and christainity never helped me out in life, but whatever works for people...

I......I.........can't...........comprehend......
thud
Seriously, I started getting a tingle in the back of my head, like a stroke coming on.....
That dude is effffffffff dup
It's that simple. Not atheist, not christian. A better way of putting it: "I don't know"
Did Jesus exist? Dunno.
Was Jesus somehow holy? Dunno.
Is there a god? Dunno.
It's not that I haven't made up my mind, just that I've decided that to arbitarily choose a religion or atheism would have no reason to it.

so incomprehensible...

'Flesh is a trap. That's what he used to say.
Flesh is a trap. And magic sets us free.'
[Ikon the Verbal Hologram]
The War of Gods and Men
I condemn them who believe
In ancient fallacies and the heresy of thieves
Burn the unholy in your filthy religion
Paganism and the prism of three-dimensional prison
I walk through the liquid of the Seven Rivers
And deliver rhyme schemes that cut like verbal scissors
Or arrows
The sacred science of the pharaohs
Millennium prophesies of tarots
Murder cattle
Discovered near the crop circles of the land
While we fight wars for political whores like Mary Magdalan
The Hologram plans his incision
Apparition of Tibetan black magicians
My compositions will turn men into slaves
Holographic aspects of particles and waves
Propel the spacecraft in the Pleiades
Dwell in the abyssal plains like the Horse of Hades
The Wheel of Infinity, the Chamber of the Trinity
Levitators of the fifth level magician of divinity
Like a pentadrone, I sent your dome into the forest
Of Ibilis
Like the wilderness of Tan
The Verbal Hologram! The Verbal Hologram!
'My perception of poetical injection is ejaculation
The Immaculate Conception' -> Pharoahe Monch (repeat 4X)
[Ikon]
The decaton
The higher arc modron
Encompass my soul in a beam like proton
I am Voltron
With helmeted head and lotus flower, incantations
Wind walking teleportations
I dwell in a body that can't be slain
The verbal flame
The atomic spark of pain
So I drain, the energy from your shocker system
Watch me glisten
Like the sun
The Chosen One
The cyborg relation
My shit is crazy like Free Masons
Meeting at camp crystal lake with Jason
Complex wind
City of screaming metal in the Vatican
I shatter him
Who walks on the plains of Hell
To sacrifice El, Young El, Young El
A dark fall for all
Who battle the mystic meditation
Face decapitation and material contamination
By the spiritual deviation
Translation of ancient civilization
Nonaton, overseer of law and order
The verbal slaughter
Hologram walks on water
Immune to illusion and scientifical blows
Armed with black magic, spears, and crossbows
Feeble attempts to apprehend the Hologram
Overstand, I kill man like Wodan
So no man step into the darkness of the set
Study with Chinese masters like Jesus in Tibet
Staff of Moses, urn of ashes
Morphing my soul into solids, liquids, and gases!
'My perception of poetical injection is ejaculation
The Immaculate Conception' -> Pharoahe Monch (repeat 4X)
WORD IS BORN
