God is the Question

I am an atheist, but recently I started an RSS search feed in my feed reader (FeedDemon) to search the blogs and news for the keyword “God”.

god

The problem with the word GOD, or GAAD in American Baptist (GAWD in London), is that no one can define what they mean by GOD - it could be almost anything, from a bearded man in the sky, to a general term for the sum total of everything. And if the answer is GOD - what is the question?

There is no point rattling on about a term if there is no clearly defined definition. I have a feeling that if you manage to define the term you will be half way to forming a new religion - and before long you will have more money than god (who is always broke).

Should you be able to define Gaad , you will also probably discover all his hidden names, and he will appear before you and split your head asunder. Though I doubt you can find any of His names, as God uses a different vocabulary to the average mortal - when was the last time you used the word “asunder” (or “smite”)?

But using “God” as a search term is always rewarding, you get the occasional theological discussion, a lot of cussing/swearing, a fair smattering of politics (too much GW Bush perhaps), the latest news on just about every war on the planet, and a not inconsiderable amount of Eric Clapton and various guitar legends. Not a half bad search term for a broad view of the general zeitgeist of the day. Economical to type, mostly entertaining and informative, even a little mysterious.

Turn out the light

The Doors - When The Music’s Over

Jim Morrison’s 1966 ecological message - still great after all these years:

What have they done to the Earth,
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn,
And tied her with fences and dragged her down.

So when the music’s over,
Turn out the lights.

Crying Over Spilled Semen

Psychology Today: Crying Over Spilled Semen
The finding that women who do not use condoms during sex are less depressed and less likely to attempt suicide than are women who have sex with condoms and women who are not sexually active, leads one researcher to conclude that semen contains powerful—and potentially addictive—mood-altering chemicals.
