There are a couple choice sentences that made me laugh out loud. Fundamentalists are so weird.

Wow, I had no idea environmentalism was a pagan practice. I knew being a feminist made me a witch though!

That article made me giggle people at work now think I am crazier than they already believe.

PARADISE, Calif. - Thousands of people were ordered to get out of Paradise on today as an out-of-control wildfire threatened the Northern California city that also was devastated by flames just weeks ago.

In the U.S., the number of earth-worshipping pagans at the Burning Man Festivals have grown to tens of thousands. People come from Canada, Brazil, Germany, Russia, and 25 other countries to an isolated corner of Black Rock Desert in Nevada, where other Wiccans, Satanists, goddesses, nudists, and a consortium of party-goers converge on the hot Nevada desert for a Labor Day weekend of "glorious Hell on earth."

Recent Burning Man festivals included The Floating World, based on the New Age concept that "Reality is so big we must protect ourselves from it.... Our little worlds, in truth, are ships that float upon a sea," the Chaos Cabaret, a dinner theater devoted to celebrating the two purest forms of chaos: the Maelstrom (a violent, disordered, turbulent state bursting with activity) and the Abyss ( an immeasurable place of the damned), "Motel 666", and "Crucifixion With a Celebrity" where one could purchase a picture of a crucified obese Elvis while eating hamburgers sold by devil-worshippers at the McSatan cafe wearing T-shirts that proudly proclaimed, "Praise The Whore!"

As in the past, this year's clothing-optional Burning Man offers a no-holds-barred "Woodstock" style festival where neo-pagans, wiccans, transvestitie entertainers, curiosity seekers, and old hippies can go to trance, perform rituals, burn sacrifices to deities, fornicate, and otherwise "express" themselves.

The 40-foot-high effigy Burning Man (the "Spirit Cave Man"-- sacred to local Indians and New Agers) will be torched as usual together with just about everything else at the close of the festivity.

What? Do they fucking sit in the church basement and just make this fucking stuff up?

Makes me want to slap someone in the fucking head and say what the fuck are you a fucking idiot? Go get a fucking life fuck head.

Is it just me, or is it that the closer we get to the burn, the more threads that become "Fuck!" threads?

I have read this before, it is not new.

Still incredibly stupid, but not new.

Sorry but no other word punctuates strong enough feeling as well as FUCK does..
Any question how I feel about it?

This is a city of 50,000 people and 50,000 different ideas of what life is or should be.
I think the â€œchurchâ€

yes I saw it.

It's all about perception. What people perceive is their reality.
Even if it has no bases in reality or facts. Just fill in the blanks with any thing.
Have a blind faith in it **TA***DA***
And you get Perceived Reality.

And that my friends is what the world runs on. Thats right every thing we do
is Perceived Reality.

I want a "Praise the Whore" Tee shirt. And I missed all of the fornicatin' and deity sacrificin'. Well, I did walk by a couple "voting" in the voting booth in 2006. I also missed the crucified obese hamburger-eatin' Elvis.

A radio station in Memphis set up a stage with a 'Knock Elvis Off the Toilet' dunking type game right down the street from graceland, during death week when all the Elvis fans show up.
I understand it created a disturbance.

I'd love to see that at burning man.

Where in the book of Relavations do they recount the existance of Playa dust storms at the end of days?

I think it was a reference to Elvis' death.

The mythical Larry is supposed to live forever.

Holy shit! Amun-Ra is into Darwinism? That old bastard gets around!
Why didn't anybody tell me I could buy burgers on the playa!!!
I've wasted so much time planning meals around my whore worship
I must have missed it.

When it comes right down to it all you can do is point and laugh.
Then walk away shaking your head in amazement.
A closed mind never has to think after all.

"The 40-foot-high effigy Burning Man (the "Spirit Cave Man"-- sacred to local Indians and New Agers) will be torched as usual together with just about everything else at the close of the festivity."

"By whatever names they may otherwise be called, the underworld spirits elevated in the Burning Man and Occulture festivals are gathering the combined efforts of the kingdom of Satan toward a conspiracy of apocalyptic proportions."

I happen to know for a fact that Satan hates conspiracies, even small ones like who let Kenny Copeland and Bill O'Reilly out of hell. I try not to Hate, I don't believe it does any good, and it takes way too much energy, but these religious zealots get under my skin in a way that makes me want to clean the guns, if only I could stop laughing at their idiocy long enough.

There's something funky about that list of gods. Apollo isn't into drugs, Dionysus is.
