Thanks for Disagreeing with Me

One of the worst things which can befall on Planet Earth is when everyone agrees with you because that can easily convince of your own righteousness and that's a large part of what happened to people on Facebook.  Tinkerbell has a bad case of that and it's not likely there's any way to get through to her since there's the constant Facebook reinforcement of being right all the time; therefore, anything else is a hideous conspiracy of Doom.

With y'all, I know I'm busted if the political or the scientific facts are incorrect and Lotho will cheerfully disagree at any moment.

Ed:  that doesn't stop you from making up whatever crap pops into your head!

I believe it would be patronizing if I did not since it would assume you're not smart or discerning enough to tell the difference.  You know it's rubbish about Russians hacking Ithaka even though it was true about zillions of Russians visiting for some reason.  There's no reason to state that explicitly because you're not cabbageheads looking for someone to tell you what you want to hear.

Ed:  maybe they were looking for spamming opportunities?

Not likely since the volume of spam coming at Ithaka did not go up.  Either they suck at it or they were visiting for some other reason.


People frequently disagree on God but you have seen before I don't have a disagreement with any religion except in terms of its specific rules such as you can't eat meat on Friday.  WTF?

The Rockhouse isn't monotheistic since we see the need for One Supreme God to be more the nature of man than it's reflective of any aspect of divinity.  We believe Jesus was probably the best human who ever walked the Earth but here we see him as a Prophet.  People often get theologically tangled in the need to roll him up with God but, at the Rockhouse, it doesn't make any difference.

Muslims do the same thing with Allah and they recognize him as a Prophet but still try to roll him up with God and they get tangled up in the same way as Christians.  We scratch our Rockhouse heads when we see they and the Christians fighting over who really gets to roll up their Prophet with God but, frankly, we don't care and wish they would just settle down to believe whatever they like.

All of them teach to love your brother so let's see some more of that and, sure, I would like to buy the world a Coke.

Ed:  I guess you believe in tree spirits too then?

Take a walk alone in the deep forest and then mock me all you like, Young Traveler.


God had the best toys, by far.

As to the relative size of that, imagine you're a grain of sand on a beach ...

Blue and yellow are Notre Dame colors, yes?

Andromeda in a way I have never seen her before.

Now God really ought to get a round of applause on this one.  It's the Cheshire Cat after he's been using hallucinogens for a few billion years.

Here at the Rockhouse, we don't know if Jesus or Allah could do that too but it really doesn't matter to us.  Regardless of the path to Christmas, the result is the same and, in "Scrooged," Bill Murray asks, "Why can't it be like this all the time?"

Here at the Rockhouse, we still don't see a reason it can't except for people with self interests which get out of control.  The easiest way to prevent that is, as always, to turn off your television since then the vampires can't get in; they need an invitation.


Ed:  did you tell them yet about Jesus having three arms and eyes on stalks, just like his father?

They might not be ready for that yet.
