No Comments »Looks kinda interesting:
The big book of gods from as many different mythologies/pantheons as possible.
African, Australian, Aztec, Chinese, Egyptian, Finnish, Greek, Incan, Mayan, Native American, and Norse.
Nice.
Something a little strange about the little box that says “Over 1,600 Gods now online!” though.
Check it out here.
W.Bloggar has a feature I didn’t know about. The little notes at the bottom of the window will do this:
…if you’ve got Winamp running. I just happen to be streaming RadioParadise right now.
Pretty neat.
Which is not to say that I don’t have any religion, ’cause I do.
More on that some other time. For now, sleep…
Okay, I’ve figured it out.
If you know me fairly well at all, you know that I have (what I’ve always thought was) this totally irrational hate-on for Kirk Cameron. Ever since he was in that stupid show, Growing Pains, I’ve thought that there was something somehow inherently evil about the guy. Don’t know when I started thinking that, but it was early on. I’m sure sharing satellite space with Alan Thicke didn’t help his case any, but there’s something I ran across today (thanks to the good folks at Cruel.com), I think maybe there’s more to it. More than just the totally irrational “if I ever meet him I wanna punch him” gut-level reaction I have.
Let me explain, sorta kinda.
I’ve got what doctors call a “deep focus in the temporal lobe” also known as temporal lobe epilepsy. Hasn’t done anything negative to me since I was a really really little dude. Back then (around the age of two), I could/would have seizures if I had a particularly bad wipe-out and smacked my head. Since then, I’ve had migraines and things over the years (most of which went away after the age of about 20), but here’s the thing:
People with TLE are often obsessed with religious images and rhetoric.
Probably something to do with the whole idea of feeling like there’s some sort of greater purpose. For a lot of folks with TLE, it becomes religious zealotry. I seem to have the exact opposite: zealous non-religion, based on what I’ve seen “good church-going folks” do and say during my years of growing up in Chilliwack, British Columbia’s Bible Belt.
Don’t get me started on that place… woof-o…
Okay, so back to Cruel.com’s link to this site with Kirk. Here’s the thing:
He’s now the lead running a very slickly-produced “you’re going straight to hell” site.
So, I wonder if I’m not feeling like there’s not some sort of something going on, and that maybe Kirk’s going to end up being the evil dictator of Texas or something.
Me and Joan of Arc
What I wanna know is this: Does Saint Aardvark also have TLE, and maybe that’s why he’s the kinda guy that collects religious tracts from car windows and stuff?
