Well it seems Time Magazine has decided on their “Man of the Year”. It’s a mirror with a frame. The man of the year is all of us. Leo Le Port says this is only appropriate since we’re all tired of the President of Iran’s bellicose statements. This past year has seen the rise of user generated material from Blogs to U-Tube, which I don’t use because I still have dial up. There’s also the Wickipedia and even a user generated news site, I forget the name. LINUX is user generated because the language was left free to modify by we users. I wish they’d do that with religion. Have a user generated religion.
In the last post we talked about possible candidates for the Antichrist. Of course there are a lot of depraved people in the history of the world. There are Caligula, Nero and Dometian, and the King of Assyria. There are Atilla the Hun, Ivan the Terrible and Dracula the Impailer. There’s Mao, Stalin, Hitler, and Po Pot and Edi Amin. There’s one guy I’m leaving out because the Federation tells me that I served in his Army in a previous life, but he was perhaps Thee greatest military leader in the history of the world and named in a Dylan song on “The Basement Tapes” that the Byrds cover.
CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE AGAIN

CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE AGAIN
Those six lines could form a hexagram out of the I Ching if you wanted to interperet it that way. Let’s see. It would either be fire under the heavens or else water in the earth, depending on your black – white orientation. Actually it’s that Beatles song from their 1967 Christmas record that’s now finally been included in its entirety on their latest album compilation. I don’t plan on being here next week so I won’t be catching all the usual Beatles Christmas stuff. You know, I just don’t think there has been very much Christmas spirit this year – not that I’ve seen. Not like usual. But then again I haven’t gotten out much. I think we need more of the Christmas spirit. If Christmas were made to magically disappear you’d have a void this time of year with a lot less shopping.
According to Leo Le Port, as much time in man hours went into developing
I caught about three calls from the Jesus Christ show today. Just about every call reveals some major flaw in his theology. Jesus was being grilled on whether his crusifiction was just a “party trick”. After all he’s God and it’s a speck in eternity so what’s the deal. There is no way Jesus could suffer as much as a mortal man because mortal man is plagued with uncertainty and doubt about the future. Minus this it isn’t at all the same experience. But shedding his divinity and becoming wholly man isn’t something Jesus wanted to do. Jesus said “It’s not the extent to which I suffered. Mel Gibson’s movie is full of all the abuse I suffered in that sense. The reason why my suffering was so hanous is because being totally innocent and sinless myself, I shouldn’t have been Touched”. You know, like that marine in “A few good men” should not have been “touched”. If Jesus is going to say that being sinless gives you a pass from suffering this only strengthens the Federation’s case why Christianity is corrupt because of all the innocent people who suffer, as Stu Sutcliffe pointed out this morning. But the thing is like we say- - if you’re a mortal God will allow you to sin. If you’re an immortal God insists on perfection. Since Jesus was an immortal the shoe was on the other foot. If Jesus had sinned he would have to be consigned to Hell, along with “The devil and his angels”, for whom Hell was created. Being an immortal it’s impossible for him to either give his life or have someone else take it. (Selah) Jesus was crucified for saying he was the Messiah, which Jesus knew if he couldn’t deliver the goods the law said he was to be stoned as a false prophet. Are sin and death abolished and is
Jesus also took a call highlighting his peculiar attitude twords forgiveness. Jesus likes to bifurcate words like Walter Martin does with “literalist” and “letterist”. He inserts division in word meanings where there is none. To “forgive” is to “reconcile”. This is what the Bible teaches us. Jesus states that you can “forgive” without being “reconciled”. Jesus “forgave” our sins at the cross but we aren’t “reconciled” until- - you know - - we are pre elected. So you can hate someone’s guts like the Asshole from
Jesus’ next call revealed what a jackass some people are. In this case perhaps Jesus should pick up a Time Magazine. By the way I’m told if you’re going to get high speed internet don’t use Time-Warner cable. I’ve heard it’s a nightmare and you’ll long for the days of dial-up with gremlins in your computer rubbing two stones together to get it to work. At least you get through. Jesus had a called who asked if Jesus was aware of the four great forces of the Universe. Jesus seemed a little slow on the uptake saying “well there all sorts of forces. There’s more than four”. The guy named them as scientists know then. There is the Strong Force. This one holds the nuclear particles, the protons and newtrons together inside the nucleus of the atom. Then there is the weak force, which is responsible for half life radioactive decay. Then there is electro-magnititusm, and then there is gravity, which is the only macro force. Jesus was asked to define gravity, which is a pretty fair question. Instead of doing so, Jesus asked if the man has been smoking marijuana this morning. He seemed a little ebuliant. Gene Scott once said that he didn’t like “drunks” in any sense, either those drunk on wine, or those spaced out people who are high on the holy spirit. Gene finds both annoying. I do too. I find people who are full of the Spirit a little “full of it” for me. However this caller denied that he’d been partaking of any substance. And if he were what would be the difference? The Bible says even a Jackass should be listened to if he asks a valid question. Baalem’s ass tried to warn his master of a problem with his going to curse a group of people and the ass said “Am I not thine ass? Haven’t I always served you well. And now you won’t listen to my words”. But then Jesus made another mistake and answered the question- - wrongly. He said “gravity is a mutual attractive force of matter”. This is the understanding of gravity I had in the third grade but it’s not scientifically accurate. There is in fact no “attraction force” at all. Einstein used the analogy of people watching kids play marbles from a high building window through binoculars. The marbles were observed not to follow a straight course on the ground while being cast. Obviously some “mysterious force” was altering their paths. There was no “mysterious force”. The ground is uneven. Just as space is uneven. Gravity comes through bends in the space-time continuoum. Einstein then goes on th making elaborate elevator analogies to prove his point. The experiment of Galileo at the leaning
There are three different types of supernatural experience. First there is what we at the Orion Federation call the “terriesteral realm”. People who see ghosts and appiritions are actually seeing “ghosts” in the sense of things which used to be but aren’t there now. People deposit their “life energy” and this “energy” just hovers over a particular area such that we in the Federation say “This area is ruled by Romulans” and this other area of O C over here is ruled by Reigellians. Those in the psychic realm see the energy there in these areas. This is the terriestrial. The tellestial realm is the psychic realm. This is where events are not only mysteriously connected by distance, and often by time, they are in a psychic sense The Same Event. A “portal” opens up contiousness in order to perceive this. We have talked about this before. Time is no object. These portals breach the “time perception bubble” that is our common illusion-experience here in this life”. This “time-awareness consciousness bubble could be likened to growth in a tree. The growth moves out with each passing year, and yet the whole tree is seen as alive. There is that guy who predicted in a Novel the sinking of the Titanic. His ship was called the Titan, and it had virtually the same dimensions as the Titanic, and it went down in the same manner by an ice berg. The guy had plugged into the telestial dimension. In our snail mail to the media we would often go into detales describing pictures on record album covers that turned out to be prophetic. This is Mark Campbell’s area. Finally there is the celestial level of awareness. We touched on this when we said the whole Universe and everything past and future could be perceived at once. The whole Universe could be like a paperweight on someone’s desk. Only the “desk” and anything outside the “paper weight” would transcend Time and Space. To transcend not only means to “go beyond” but to “surpass the perameters of”, or in other words going “Off the chart” entirely.
Jesus took another call on someone asking whether people could be homosexual because “men made them that way” or “for the kingdom of heaven’s sake” and what do you know, this is one question he answered correctly. The Bible talks about asexuality as an “alternative” to normal sexuality, but not Homosexuality.
I'l like to wish all the readers a merry Christmas. I don't imagine I'll be writing another blog post before Christmas. I'd like to talk about my number five candidate for Antichrist. Rush Limbaugh is number five. What put him in the top five was his attitude in the whole Michal J Fox thing. That was really below the belt. His attitude twords those who work for World Peace is very disconcerting, and his statements on ecology over the years have been apalling. I hate to have a "harmless lovable fuzz-ball" in fifth place but unlike President Bush, Rush won't be out of office in two years and he will still be dangerous, perhaps more so then than he is now.
Of course the unnamed Asshole from El Paso is in the number one position. I'd like to say just a little more about him. In early 1992 I tried extensively to get in touch with him to discuss a letter I had written him at the end of 1991. I found all of his henchmen at the church to be very evasive and give me the run around. This man had already cast aspirsions on my mental stability and trashed my whole family and my upbringing. He had already made so many below the belt statements that a normal person should have called it quite there. But I didn't On a day in mis March right after I had talked in vain to Social Securety about whether I qualified for receiving a monthly check for $750.00 a month, I decided to call him. What I was dreading was an audit they would have to do on my finances. Today our friendly pastor refused to answer any questions posted in my letter. When asked about the resurrection of Jesus he began laughing and said "Does it even matter?". He called me a religious ignoramus. At one point after I was saying only good things could come from Christianity even if it wern't all true he said "That's a bunch of crap". He told me I needed to take a "vacation from religion" and again said I needed therapy. The last ten minutes of the conversation was basically a monolog. To give him his due after two phone calls of almost wall to wall insults in July 1991 and this time in March 1992 I think he said, "But we're still friends, aren't we?" But relations between myself and the pastor would deteriorate further over the coming three years.
