Ojuice,

believes that all the old gods are still around and that atheists worship these gods that pretend to not exist. Its all so simply really.

Amos

Oh, but they always did, and still do it in their "secret place" which is their private clubhouse called heaven and anything goes where they are beyond the law (no sin possible). Singing in the rain or in prison alike and it is the gate keepers nightmare (I should actually speak for myself but maybe this way you get the drift of the message).

Oh great, now for sure I'll think of Karen's eating problems every time she's singing on the Muzak at work! (Was trying to fight the image as it is!)

Of course I know atheists don't worship the atheist gods. However, they promote and control atheism and atheists in the same way as the other gods promote and control their respective religions.

The "atheist gods" concept makes no statements about what atheists believe, just that, in fact, they are unknowingly patronized by a hidden group of gods.

Jobar

Well, tell them to stop it. We don't like being patronized. If they don't we'll start taking their names in vain all over the place.

Once we find out what their names are, of course.

Defiant Heretic

I admit it. I am the god of atheism. (I don't even believe in myself. )

You've been reading The Book of the Law, haven't you?
"Then the priest answered & said unto the Queen of Space, kissing her lovely brows, and the dew of her light bathing his whole body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat: O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be ever thus; that men speak not of Thee as One but as None; and let them speak not of thee at all, since thou art continuous!"

Yeah, I've done both, too. Spent 3 days in Guernsey State Penitentiary, 4 days in Mt. Eden Prison in Auckland, and a few hours in the Hammersmith cells, and the Leiden cells respectively. Do you have any idea how hard it can be to get arrested in Holland? Lord knows, I tried. *sigh* But, anyway, I digress -

I've always found the gate keepers are the nightmare. The singing is just heavenly music expressed in such a way as to be revealed crow-like through the wondrous apparatus that is the untalented human throat. Unless, you happen to be Marvin Gaye: in which case your pipes will be talented and your dynamic vocal range will be sold to you by Satan. But! It's not your soul he wants. No, no, no, no. It's your knickers. Trust me. I know.

Amos

Will read it right after this post. Sounds interesting and I think I could have wrote it myself . . . if I could only write.

Did you do to school in Leiden? Conservative town, I thought, and maybe you were the cause of the nightmare and not your knickers!

lunachick

Oh, you cheeky monkey!!

No, I didn't go to school in Leiden. And no, it's not particularly conservative. Why? Are you from there? I thought you were Canadian?

Amos

Famous old University there and it is the home of some famous protestant leaders.

My brothers went there and I was just the dumb one at home. Yes I am from there and immigrated to Canada. I think you are very clever and I still haven't read that poem yet. But I will. Right now (when I get disconnected).
