OK, Constantine was an opportunist, and Xtianity fit his purposes. Fact is he put that belief system on the fast track, whether by deed, adaption, or adoption, and the Empire which had served him well was doomed. What followed was the Dark Ages. There was no light until, uh, well.....The Enlightenment!

Descartes walks into a tavern. Barkeep asks, "so, Rene, will you have your
usual Aqua Vit?"

He thinks for a moment, "Oui", and quickly gulps it down.

"Will you have another, then?"

He thinks for a moment...."I think not

"POOF"! He disappears!

Most civilizations have adapted ancient ritual and mythology
towards their own designs. Campbell argues this point well.

Does "Spirit" mean an all-encompassing universal life force? Is the very air we breathe positively charged with exhaled molecules of Descarte, Constantine, JC, Buddah, Robert Johnson, Einstein, the Duke, Graham Chapman, Lennon, my loyal dog Grover B. Cheese, St. Augustine, A. Lincoln, et al?

If so, don't the negatively charged molecules of de Sade, Constantine, Hister, Mao, Cheney, Rayguns, Manson, Lay, Cortez, Bud Lite, et al, cancel out any life force, yin-yang, so to speak? It's balance. Sometimes.

I prefer the pagan view of spirits. Little gnomes, pixies, fairies, hob-goblins, gremlins, trolls, wizards and witches...in all our lives, all living things, and all things created by humans. It's fun and never depressing as faith based religion manages with all it's guilt trips and "holier than thou's"...

Hokey holidays

I abhor this whole Christian usurpation of history's mystery's. How about you? Bring back Saturnalia! The Feast of Mythra was fun, dammit, leave it to the X-tains to knock it down and tie it up with their own myth! Don't get me started on the corporate special effects of this, our shiny, happy season...

Bollicks the works! I'll take paganism any day! There's a spirit in every mote of nature anyhow, let's celebrate this! Embrace our fear of the dark!

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child. Sometimes I feel slightly normal. How about you?

what the?

ok I can't find the damn blog! Where is the site?

this is a test of the non emergent technology network. Testing teasing, what's the frequency Dan?
