Time and space are like mind and body, and while time is trapped in the body of space, space is stretched out on the rack of time.

Like dreams caught in a dream catcher, so we are told to believe that we are simply spirits caught in the web of a material reality. 

Yet even though we strive through our religions to think of ourselves as souls, equal and undivided, we stumble blindly over our own mental constructs, which only ever lead us to categorize and rank ourselves within physical, biological, social, religious, and even financial hierarchies.  

While our spirits may all be seen as equal before God, in other words, we always find new and clever ways of seeing our minds and bodies as unequal to each other; and we do this as much with our science as with our religions, and verify it all with our economics and our convictions.

And in the hear and now, we experience a mere moment of an eternity which, like our souls being trapped in flesh and bone, is similarly caught in the spiraling web of time itself.

Or maybe eternity walks around with the present stuck to the sole of its shoe like bubble gum.

Or maybe time and space are like cancers metastasizing within the infinite and the eternal, like a child being born, or the passing of a gall stone.

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma...

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...
