Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Mockazine took some time off to celebrate Christmas with the fam.  It was wonderful.  Of the many great gifts received, the best gifts were given to charitable causes in honor of my family members.  In our honor, money was given through Children's Hope Chest and Samaritan's Purse to help people who are truly in need.  Chickens were given in my son's name, fruit trees for my wife, and honey bees for me.  Instead of Christmas being celebrated as "stuff day" in my household, we celebrated the birth of our saviour knowing that other families around the world would be blessed with food because of us.

I See Dead People

A new study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life reveals some startling differences between Republicans and Democrats on issues of spirituality and supernatural phenomenon.

The study, "Many Americans Mix Multiple Faiths," reports that a significant number of Americans practice a mixture of religious beliefs, and "many also blend Christianity with Eastern or New Age beliefs such as reincarnation, astrology and the presence of spiritual energy in physical objects." The report is not specifically about partisan differences, but the results of the study are broken down by party affiliation, among many other categories. And the news on that front is that Democrats are far more likely to believe in supernatural phenomenon than Republicans.

"Conservatives and Republicans report fewer experiences than liberals or Democrats communicating with the dead, seeing ghosts and consulting fortunetellers or psychics," the Pew study says. For example, 21 percent of Republicans report that they have been in touch with someone who is dead, while 36 percent of Democrats say they have done so. Eleven percent of Republicans say they have seen a ghost, while 21 percent of Democrats say so. And nine percent of Republicans say they have consulted a fortuneteller, while 22 percent of Democrats have.

There's more. Seventeen percent of Republicans say they believe in reincarnation, while 30 percent of Democrats do. Fourteen percent of Republicans say they believe in astrology, while 31 percent of Democrats do. Fifteen percent of Republicans say they view yoga as a spiritual practice, while 31 percent of Democrats do. Seventeen percent of Republicans say they believe in spiritual energy, while 30 percent of Democrats do.

Democrats are not being disingenuous when they admit to talking to dead people. On the contrary, they are quite serious.  Like Joe Biden, they will be honest at the most inconvenient times.  I find it ironic that they are so open about their communication with the dead now since they would flattly deny it during an election year when they are registering dead people to vote.

 

 

Holy Condom Prevents Immaculate Conception

Imagine my surprise when I read my news feed today and saw that one church denomination has determined it is there moral responsibility to hand our condoms at places of worship. 

As a means of fighting the spread of aids, the United Church of Christ (UCC) sees condom distribution as a "must".  Thank goodness they aren't bogged down by the whole "abstinence" thing that plagues public school systems in cities like Washington D.C.  While lesser churches are focused on archaic concepts like "righteousness" and "moral purity", this church takes a more progressive stance.  Returning to it's first century roots, the UCC is apparently trying to recreate the roman temples to Aphrodite.  Pretty soon, instead of just giving away condoms, they will be showing people how to use them.  Before you know it, "church pot-luck" will take on a whole new meaning.
