Holy mackerel! Holy b*****s more like!! Well, if everything that lives isn't holy, then nothing is holy. William Blake rocks. - William Blake from "A Song of Liberty" [ I think there's a misquote on the page I copied from. I believe it's "pale religious lechery".] www.bartleby.com/235/255.html

Holy crap! I had to pin that one. I'm addicted to Pinterest now. It keeps me from doing more important things like examining my navel. And she's absolutely right. I could travel along behind her in a wheelbarrow for the rest of my days and be happy as one white duck on a wall.

If I page up and down on my computer real quick, those "two sides of Ian" pictures look like he is shaking his head "no" at me.

"Since it is obviously inconceivable that all religions can be right, the most reasonable conclusion is that they are all wrong" Christopher Hitchens "You'll be praying till next Thursday to all the gods that you can count" Ian Anderson I love Hitch and while he was a great thinker, I don't agree with the above quote, in fact I think quite the opposite. While I don't think any one religion is the right religion, or any righter than others, I think every religion has some small bit of truth, ie: all religions are an interpretation of God and a pathway to God; all religions have some small kernel of truth at their base. It should be stressed that God is just a label, and whatever it is that the term God refers to is ineffable and incomprehensible, ultimately. As a card-carrying, militant atheist until Feb 2011, I understand the arguments pro atheism and used them for years. But since my conversion - which I cannot explain rationally or logically - I can now grok pro-God arguments and sympathize with them. However, my feelings about God are dynamic and I am still an atheist a good deal of the time, except for occasional periods when I am overwhelmed with a deeply felt intuition that there is something far greater behind the cosmos than what scientists have learned. Ian Anderson has said that he is not an atheist. For whatever that's worth, which is probably zero to the power of ten.

I like Hitchen , I agree with front door angel, i don't like Jim Morrison, I think God is a bi-polar woman ( look around, who is quite behind on her record keeping and proper distributions of rewards and punishments...and if God is dead, there's gonna be hell to pay when she or he finds out.

I think God is a bi-polar woman also! And Jesus was her avatar! And Buddha too. Maybe even Muhammad. And Robin Williams. And Jim Carrey. And Dolly Parton! But I like Jim Morrison, though I like him much better as a poet than as a musical performer. And if the biopic with Val Kilmer is in any way accurate, I sure wouldn't want to hang around with him for too long. But seriously, Morrison's Lords and the New Creatures is a great book of poetry, despite what some critics might say. He was a better poet than a lyricist. In my opinion, that is. Most people would say the opposite. But I'm Opposite-Man. Fear me, evildoers! "Time is a straight plantation" resonates with me in a thousand ways. There may be no such thing as a real time machine, because if you think about it logically, well, let me think about it some more... Going forward in time might be possible, if Einstein was right; but going back in time? Impossible. Leastways 'at's what I rekkin, mm...hmmm. Biskits n mustird...mm hmm...

And ask of me no answer There is none that I could give, you wouldn't find Read more: Jethro Tull - Nothing To Say Lyrics | MetroLyrics Most Anderson lyrics are a part of my psyche, engraved in my memory and so close to my heart especially anything from Benefit. When you break down the songs and take two lines like that it makes them even more powerful somehow. That might not make much sense but it's as near dammit as I can put into words.
