"Blessed are the weird people--poets, misfits, writers, mystics, painters & troubadours--for they teach us to see the world through different eyes."
-Jacob Nordby


I'm a poet, well yeah, and a misfit too, and was weird before I ever wrote a poem.  Anyway, maybe this quote will make your day.
Socrates taught Plato.  Plato taught Aristotle.  Aristotle tutored the son of Philip of Macedon.  This boy grew up to become Alexander the Great, largely by slaughtering a lot of people.  That's philosophy.

Jesus spoke the Truth.  He blessed the poor.  He healed the sick.  He even raised the dead.  He died on a cross for us, lived again, and came back long enough to tell us to love one another.  That's religion.

YHVH = Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand = Jesus

Seen on a sign outside a local eatery, "The No-Whiner Diner":

The trouble with gross ignorance is that it is 144 times worse than ordinary ignorance.

Did you know that 89 percent of all statistics are made up?

Does that mean you know how to statisticulate?

BTW, did you know that theology absorbs twenty-seven times its weight in excess reality?

I did, that's why theologians study at cemetaries.
