An Activist’s Life, by Thomas Leavitt

From our standard Easter Sunday service…

The lesson is taken from the Acts of St. John:

Jesus said to John: Thou hearest of me suffering, yet I have not
suffered; pierced, yet was I not smitten; hanged, but was not hanged;
blood flowing from me, yet it did not flow. And in a word, what they
say of me, these […]

One of our cats died last night, in the hospital, after we visited her yesterday afternoon.
Her name was “Fluff” (or “The Fluff Cat”). She was given to my wife and her ex-husband seven or eight years ago, when someone had to move to a place where he couldn’t take the cat. She was a […]

Genesis Unplugged
The Fall of Man as seen from the Gnostic perspective
Once upon a very long time ago, when the very first Mommy and Daddy starred in the
world’s first piece of Reality Programming, an unexpected snafu occurred, the sort that
drives producers and program executives nuts. Mommy, whose name was Eve, began to
act up. She […]

The Aquarius partner, from www.astro.com under the “Astrology For Lovers” section by Liz Greene
Air signs live in the world of ideas, and they’re frightened of strong
emotions. This is truer of Aquarius than any other sign. They’re not the
world’s most romantic or effusive lovers. They are often […]

Pope John Paul II gets to heaven.
St. Peter says, “Frankly, you’re lucky to be here.”
Pope John Paul II says, “Why? What did I do wrong on earth?”
St. Peter says, “God was very angry with your stance on women becoming
priests.”
Pope John Paul says, “He’s mad about THAT?”
St. Peter says, “She’s furious!”
[Of course, my church has been […]

Exile in Godville
Profile of a postmodern heretic
by A.W. HILL

On May 7, 2004, as dusk was falling, a plume of black smoke as big and ornery as a Texas twister rose above Los Angeles. And though no one later raved on local talk radio that he’d seen the face of the devil in the ominous cloud, […]

Here’s Chris Schefler’s posting to the IETF HTTP Working Group elist, explaining why a header including the host name of the site being accessed needs to be passed by the http client.
“It is important to be able to determine which domain name was used in the URL in case a server answers to many domain […]

From a list…
On May 14, 2005, at the “Maison Fuzier” in Mazamet, there will be
inaugurated a memorial museum dedicated to Occitan Catharism.
The Museum is coordinated by a scientific committee reuniting a number of
historians and archaeologists specializing in this area. The orientation of
the museum is to present a living, demystifying and respectful image of a
largely […]

When he wrote a column about the suckiness of corporate radio, I wrote him an email about KPIG… and he quoted me, and made KPIG #2 on his list of links to radio that doesn’t suck.

KPIG in Freedom, CA (107.5). “Hippie hillbilly country-fried rock and superlative dirty blues,” says a reader. “An anachronism,” says […]

Larry asked several questions which I will try to address. The term
“salvation” refers to a Path or Way which can lead Man back to the
original purpose that was inherent in Man’s nature as an emanation
from the Godhead. The Gnostic Christian worldview sees Man as in
need of salvation, because Man is spiritually “asleep,” and ignorant

I’ve been mostly offline for a while now… busy grinding through a high level math class at the local community college, grinding through storage, and not wanting to deal with a virus-infested hard drive. Along with election related volunteering. Honestly, I’m finding that I don’t miss my email inbox that much… a revelation for someone […]

Inside the ‘Ecclesia Gnostica Mysteriorum,’ one of the few Gnostic churches in the country
by Bill D’Agostino
The run-down, two-story building next to Albertsons on Palo Alto’s Alma Street seems unremarkable at first glance. An abandoned first-floor storefront displays the corny cartoon of an enthusiastic man selling donuts.
Inside, the smell of […]
