Season's Greetings
(1)
Season's Greetings from Hubble.
Slate wonders why NASA wants a moon base. Could this be the answer?
Advice to Bush concerning success in Iraq: have the troops grow moustaches. Might even work with the females. Maybe Bush and Cheney should also grow one. Couldn't hurt... The First Dog has one. My guess is that mass circumcisions of American troops in Iraq would also work, especially if broadcast on Iraqi TV. This link appears to see the insurgency problem more deeply.
'Tis the season. My sense is that Jews will especially like this one. Christians...? Maybe not so much. (Do not watch this, Denise!)
Blasphemy is a victimless crime (Stay away from this one too, Denise.) leads directly to The Blasphemy Challenge in which you are invited to commit the Unforgivable Sin.
Ouspensky, in A New Model of the Universe, defines the Holy Ghost as '...that which is good in everything... If a man does not see this good, if he condemns everything irrevocably, if he seeks and sees only the bad, if he is incapable of seeing the good in things and people - then this is the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost... This blasphemy is not forgiven.' Ouspensky is obviously a heretic.
I finally ordered a copy of The God Delusion. Christmas present to myself.
