We Are Works of Divine Art

We who are clay blended by the Master Potter, come from the kiln of Creation in many hues. How can people say one skin is colored, when each has its own coloration? What should it matter that one bowl is dark and the other pale, if each is of good design and serves its purpose well.

Fight for Liberty or Miss it...

It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.
-Dick Cheney
.
Thanks to all those who served before, serve now, and will serve in the future.
May your efforts to preserve liberty, for all, not fail.
The rest of us need to keep a vigilant watch, fight the battles that we can, and not be swayed by pretty words and bright promises from the insincere.
.
The dark of night is upon us now.
If we do not fight to save our Constitution and the Bill of Rights,
we will dread the dawning of the new day
and our patriots' sacrifices will be wasted.

Don't lose what our heroes fought for...

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

Heathen Demon Child

"The wild-cat shall meet with the jackals
And the satyr shall cry to his fellow,
Yea, Lilith shall repose there
And find her a place of rest"
- Isiah 34:14

I'm personally tired of hearing sexist men complain about how the Creator took a rib from Adam to create Eve. Today I heard a crazy Christian complain that it was a waste of a perfectly good bone. If his wife hears that, he may have to find other uses for ol' limpy.

Real men don't whine about the gender that gives them sexual favors.

Yes, I'm sick of hearing that all women are inferior to men because the dominant Christian faith believes that women were made from men.
According to myth, that's not exactly the case. Holy books often refer to Lilith, Adam's first wife, who fled the garden of Eden because being his wife wasn't exactly her style. Lilith is said to be created by God with the same earth that created Adam. Lilith is now known as the Demon Queen of the Succubi.

From now on, when confronted with a proudly sexist Christian, I'm going to claim to be descended from Lilith. Yes, I'm going to assert that I'm a demon child because I'm irritated with obnoxious sexist Christians.
To be sure, devout Christians do not disrespect people due to their gender. Still, I'd have fun shutting a few of the abusive, ignorant, and vocal ones up and make them run to their churches. Maybe they can learn a few things about Jesus and brotherly love in God's house.
And it will be good...
Besides, what else can one expect from a redhead, with long curly hair, green eyes, and a birthday of September 7th? I've heard that being born on the "feast of the beast" makes me a "bride of Satan"....hmmm....
Yes, this is part of my childhood baggage. For many years, I was ambidextrous. I'm a natural lefty but my superstitious Grandmother made me learn to use my right hand. They say that our biases towards certain ideologies start in childhood. Mine probably do as well.

Okay, it's high time to go along with the superstitious baloney. Maybe I can make it work for me. I'm going to go out and buy the biggest pentagram that I can find and parade it around. Maybe I'll scare the sexist Bible thumpers away from me for good!

It's worth a shot!

P.S. Can anyone teach me how to spin my head?

Let the truth unfold...

No single picture is going to tell you that a caterpillar is going to become a butterfly; and one picture won't tell you that a butterfly flies.

Did the lawmakers take it out?


“It doesn't say anywhere in the Constitution this idea of the separation of church and state.”
- Sean Hannity

Mr. Hannity, let me refresh your memory...

Free yourself now.
