    The Three Christs of YpsilantiThe Three Christs of YpsilantiWhat happens when three Jesus’ (or men who believe themselves to be Jesus) meet in a mental hospital? It sounds like a bad joke, but in the 1960, one exceedingly curious and interesting psychologist actually performed an experiment in which three mental patients who all believed that they were Jesus Christ were forced to live together in the Ypsilanti State Hospital. The intention was to see if their beliefs about their identities would hold up after time.

    Mark Twain on ReligionMark Twain on ReligionWriters obviously are a peculiar breed and consequently have some interesting (and occasionally controversial) views and quotes on religion. Here are some of the more interesting quotations on religion from some of my favorite writers. Please feel free to add any of your own quotes in the comments.

    Tom Robbins: Religion is not merely the opium of the masses, it's the cyanide.”


    Mark Twain:  Satan (impatiently) to Newcomer: The trouble with you Chicago people is, that you think you are the best people down here; whereas you are merely the most numerous.

    Everyone before this moment went to Hell.Everyone before this moment went to Hell.So I had another enlightening conversation with a follower of the Lord (Jesus). He's a good friend of mine and we often engage in healthy theological debate. So I had a nagging question (several hundred actually). I asked him if he believes that only those who believe in Jesus and God go to Heaven. He quickly said yes. So I asked another setup question: if a man, let's say a Buddhist, coincidentally lived his life within the moral rules of Christianity, obeyed the Ten Commandments, all that good stuff, would he go to Heaven? The answer quickly came back, No. He did not accept Jesus as his lord and savior. Alright, at least he understands his rule set.  So I asked the nagging question:

  • R.I.P. Touchdown Jesus

    It was a spectacular lightning show, but not a victimless one. The Butler County landmark, known as Touchdown Jesus was struck by lightning last night burning the statue down to it's metal skeleton. It's a tragic loss for the Solid Rock Church, but they vow to rebuild this monstrous monument to Jesus Worship.

    A passage from the Bible came to my mind when I saw this bit of news. It's from good ole Leviticus 26:1-- You shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither raise you up a standing image, neither shall you set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am the LORD your God.

    Maybe this is some kind of message or something....

    OR maybe this is god's way of saying: Build a taller one!!
