What Religion is God

The question has been asked before, What religion is God?

Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, is one of the five pillars of Islam.  It is a once in a life time requirement of every able-bodied Muslim. The pilgrimage must take place during the second week of the Islamic month, Dhul Hijjah.  During the Hajj, there are many rituals to be observed in a short period of time. One is the Stoning of the Devil, a reenactment of the Devil tempting Abraham three times as he prepared to sacrifice his son, Isaac.

I have been disfranchised.

I’ve voted in every national election, as well as most local elections, since 1972s Nixon vs. McGovern.  I am seriously considering not voting this time.  Why? Because I have been disfranchised.  Never mind the various amendments guaranteeing voting privileges; the current system negates individual votes.

Disney Orgy

Orignally in The Realist in 1967 as black and white.  It was so successful they made a colorized version and sold it as a poster.

Paul Krassner passed away in 2019 and his website is no longer active.  SO I have not found anywhere to buy this poster except for big bucks on various sites like eBay. Oh well.

Voltaire on Opera

For my friend Vincenzo, an opera lovervoltaire

“This noise,” said the Senator, “may amuse one for half an hour; but if it were to last longer it would grow tiresome to everybody, though they durst not own it. Music, to-day, is only the art of executing difficult things, and that which is only difficult cannot please long. Perhaps I should be fonder of the opera if they had not found the secret of making of it a monster which shocks me. Let who will go to see bad tragedies set to music, where the scenes are contrived for no other end than to introduce two or three songs ridiculously out of place, to show off an actress’s voice. Let who will, or who can, die away with pleasure at the sight of an eunuch quavering the rôle of Cæsar, or of Cato, and strutting awkwardly upon the stage. For my part I have long since renounced those paltry entertainments which constitute the glory of modern Italy, and are purchased so dearly by sovereigns.”  ~~ Senator Pococurante in Candide, Chapter XXV by Voltaire

Rev. Joe’s Random Thought # 1,072

Raise your hand if this applies to you.

You know you are old when you read this statement:  “The project became a federal priority around the turn of the century…”  and you think 1900.

See me raising my hand.
