I should have been a doctor
of divinity

fresh out of god metaphors

the man upstairs
the heavenly father
Jesus as the rebel
he gets pissed at his father for beating up on the Jews all those millenia so there is a revolution in heaven and the man upstairs is kicked downstairs.

and he prowls the the internet like a hungry lion.

You gotta tell me what you got to tell me
and I gotta tell you

and one of us is probably wrong.

Even saying grace I check myself

A fathers love
my father who lies in the earth
thank you for another day of living.

"The sweetest thing is the world is a child's belief that her father knows everything" Jack Somebody.

There's still one or two of us walking the street,
no arrows of direction painted under our feet;
no angels to warm us away from the heat,
and no money to keep us where it is sweet'

Irony is a powerful and incompletely understood feature of human dynamics. A technique for dissimulation and “secret speech,” irony is considerably more complex than lying and even more dangerous.

Harper's Magazine

Women are having a difficult time getting food in Haiti because the men are shoving them out of line.


And the NGO's delivering aide in Africa are using women truck drivers because the men were exploiting women for sex in exchange for food. Which is cool I suppose except that most of the truck drivers had AIDS.

So Santayana is just ok with me. Even if he is an atheist.
He knows about dignity and disgust.

So I am kind of down on men. Where ever I look I see women being exploited. So it is probably just sour grapes because it has been so long since I have had the chance to exploit a woman myself.

Christianity began in the warm hearts of women but then came the pecker heads who forced them aside once the word got out and the church started to be a paying proposition.

So you got the fear god. Oh yes I fear HIM.
Even so if the Christ Jesus was standing in front of me now, I would say, "You cool with me dude, you be my highway hero, but I don't want no truck with your father in heaven. Surely you must have realized by now what a crazy mother fucker he is."

Thinking about that movie Ghost, the one with Whoopi Goldberg. The scene were the bad guy dies and the black spirits descend on him and carry him off. And then the good guy get carried away by the light.

What is this thing this compulsion to write about God. Just to try and find what I really believe. With out the jargon, without the preacher speak. Is this the path that leads to destruction and death.

So easy to cow women, must of them anyway. I never heard any hell and damnation no fire and brimstone at a Quaker meeting. And most of the women had such calm steadiness in their eyes. I could not imagine them afraid of hell.

It is not being one of the chosen few,
That sounds racist
It is being an outsider
I know what is at stake
But I won't bend my knee in prayer out of fear of hell
or desire for heaven.

These days only love can get me on my knees.

I must have been dreaming when I saw your reply to this post.

Good night

I'm going to reply to this, you might be reading my mind or simultaneous thoughts--if that's possible and it could be.

Jack, I don't want to put men down tonight, I only do that when I'm mad I likes the differences between the male and female, a lot actually. Someday I'm gonna get me a fine man who'll get me thinking less like a woman when we're drunk and discussing crazy 3 am topics. I'm a sucker for one good man. Gonna get drunk, dance all night, let him make me laugh.

I can believe though the stuff you're saying, bout the men shoving women out of line to get food. A man's appetite, it's a force. Sex and food, anything else can be forgotten till he's satisfied.

Jack, I don't know what I was thinking when I posted about not understanding atheist because they don't believe in spirit. I should have re-read it before hitting reply. Seriously, I'm more gentle than that, I really am. I feel guilty for it now and apologize.

I was so caught up in deep thinking about the spirit, I guess I just could only think in sort of a narrow fashion at the moment, was so almost mad about if anyone doesn't believe in spirit... or along those lines.

It wasn't right of me now that the passions passed.
I'd not even considered the fact that maybe some atheist believe in spirit. Hadn't never gone down that train of thought before, never entertained it till you'd mentioned it. Best way I can do is to try to keep an open mind, I'll do my best.

For some reason I doubt you dislike women very much, maybees you do wanna like them, just like I wanna like men, and sometimes we wanna strangle them, depends on if we're hungry or not.

Sleep well u, see you in the am.

Well you know those men pushing the women aside got hungry mouths to feed too. I suppose those women in line don't have men to stand in line for them. Reminds me of this bit for some reason.

Soon, I may have to cut off my breasts to make soup. I would give myself to a man for protection but there are none. There is nothing left in the world but a dying dog and a sad woman crying in the street.

Boy you think you got problems.
Great writer she blew through studio eight about a year ago and had all us pecker heads howling at the moon. She even had an artlog. Then one day she deleted the whole thing. I was so depressed I deleted my artlog too.

I don't know what happened to her, a chick thing I guess. I like chick things but I don't loose no sleep over them anymore.
Which is a pity.

True all of it or I'd hope it the truth. I'd like to imagine there are still men willing to protect, wanting to feed the family. It isn't something I hear of often. Not sure what that points out of the material I'm absorbing. A protecting man, one concerned to feed them. That's one big brownie point I'd always given to the catfish. Was in almost shock how much he cared to feed them, or what he'd give just to do the providing. I'm under the impression it's a rarity. A lot of single moms these days, a lot of absent fathers that I know of in my circle. It made him stand taller in my opinion.

We're an onion, you're right about that. Still peeling back the layers, didn't cook anything up yet.
What are you hungry for?
It's like the soul song...
I gotta ask, "What are you hungry for?"
Keeping me awake, that's good for me. Too much sleep lately the past two days.

I like that new tag line of Cecil's

What I am hungry for, schmaltz.


I could go for a nice piece of rye bread smeared with some chicken schmaltz, maybe a nice piece of schmaltz herring too.

I lost a few pounds, I already feeling better.

I worked out a new way to say grace before I eat, it seems to be helping.

YOu have too
thanks you
