    About Graven Images

    If a Catholic or a Protestant or a Hindu or a Wiccan wants to venerate a statue or a cross or some beads or a pentagram or a gold chalice or a stinky pile of dog doo-doo -- what is that to me? All of these objects may have special arcane "meanings" for those who cherish them and sometimes even...

    Image of God #10

    According to Theists, the "image of God" (reversed) would have God with a face like Zeus, two arms with stinky armpits, a belly button, two legs which reach the ground, and a cosmic-sized ego. Maybe (oh, afterlife epiphany) God is shaggy but rocking in your chair, smoking a pipe and...

    God Takes a Dump

    There was a video a few years back. It began with a shot of the Milky Way. Countless bright dots, big and small, in a spiral-swirled mass as might be seen by the Hubble if it were way far out in space. Way in the further distance, countless other dimmer dots gave the scope of the universe. As...

    Abortion - Theism vs. Deism

    If the birth of the child will kill the mother, do we save the child by allowing it to kill the mother? Or do we save the mother by killing the child? Who is tasked with the responsibility of making this decision? Which soul, mother or child, is of less value and therefore should perish? Taking...

    Born Again through Baptism

    After completing my initial indoctrination with a Mormon church, I was invited to the temple to participate in their "Baptism For the Dead" where lists of deceased people are baptized by proxy. That afternoon, I was the proxy. They'd read off a name and I was dunked. I was baptized 206 times...

    Vision

    I had a dream. One day (maybe the Eighth Day), God got curious and decided to go see some of the things He had created. So He grabbed His tools and skated off through the universe. God looked at this and that. Over here, he saw something which looked pretty cool. Over there, God saw something...

    God and Caring

    Who hates God? No one has expressed hatred toward God. For a Deist, God is All and respect is Total. If God cares about the welfare and feelings of you, personally, then so be it, but the Deist does not require God to do so. Some Deists may refer to God as "He" but many do not if they do not...

    Ted For President

    I will run for President. I cannot lose. What I propose will make everybody happy. "Pot Brownies," you ask? No, no, even better than that. When I am elected, there will be a dead horse on every front porch. So every American, whenever they feel a bug up their (beep), can run out on the porch and...

    Vacation Opportunity

    20 August 2011 Wonderful Ad on Facebook This Morning: "Summer is here, so leave your inhibitions (and Speedo) at home while you soak up the sun at Toronto's only nude beach." What a deal! Chance of a lifetime to see a whole bunch of beer-can-littered sand dunes covered with naked Canadians...

    Uncanny Grasp of the Obvious

    20 August 2011 -- Am beginning to sense the mind-set of some of the TOLers, from the zealots to the laid back hippies. Count me among the latter, even though I do enjoy tipping sacred cows, especially when they do their mooing on banana peels. Most interesting to see two zealous Christians, both...

    Tasty Cherry

    Tasty Cherry by Ted L Glines From waters cold and deep and dark I come swimming -- what a lark, just a child of nature playing, always passing -- never staying like my kin from olde Loch Nessie, and you may call me Tahoe Tessie. Spotted a sailboat having some fun so I cruised right in -- made...

    Image of God #13

    I am not a Hindu, but Hinduism was established by Sri Adi Sankara in the year 482 B.C. and has the distinction of an unbroken line of 70 Acharyas (spiritual leaders). On many web sites, aspects of Sanatana Dharma, Hinduism and Advaita Vedanta are presented. The Advaita Vedanta presents God and...

    Image of God #12

    Does the Oneness of God/Soul concept conflict with the formulae of other religions? Yes, it does, and that is a good thing. Obviously, members of those other religions need conflict. Conflict is their daily business. Conflict makes them happy and floats their boats. They seek out religious...

    Image of God #11

    Is the Oneness of God and soul a new concept? Not by any means. Not being in any way sophisticated, the original nerdy caveman who discovered that he had a soul may have suddenly felt tuned in to the Great Power in the Sky and, with his lowly IQ, would not have needed to divide that concept into...

    Image of God #10

    Have you ever met someone and instantly viewed them as being your soul-sibling? Soul sister or soul brother? Sure you have. And you were correct. Your soul and God are directly connected. This new person's soul and God are directly connected. Thus, in God, you two truly are siblings. This may...

    Image of God #9

    When you view your soul as a snapshot of God, and you see God as the Source of creation, destruction, and rebirth, you will easily see that when your temporary human body expires, your soul will be in the Oneness of God. No need for the Sunday School trappings of heaven, hell, pearly gates...

    Image of God #8

    One intriguing God concept is this: God is the Source from which comes creation, destruction, and rebirth, thus wrapping Evolution and Creation together with a smooth green ribbon. Stephen Hawking might like this concept but the Pope will prefer his humanized version. As long as the creationists...
