Theologians Find Going To Church Via Zoom Will Only Get You Access To Heaven Via Zoom

Provokes one of those "supertruth" laughs (as RM Pirsig called them) - at my Notion Club Papers blog. 

Laeth's aphorisms are absolutely excellent! I find some to be witty and profound - in a "supertruth" way. 

But at present they are unorganized, and presented in a non-user-friendly fashion; so you will need to work at them. 

Here, I have extracted several aphorisms on the Omni-God concept that I have often discussed previously. 

(Laeth's aphorisms are all presented in lower case lettering, throughout a la ee cummings.)

omnigodists are like those women who are only into abusive and uncaring men. if he's not above it all and shows the least amount of humanity, they're not interested. 

according to omnigodists the uncaring foot trampling the lovely flower is the one worthy of worship. 

omnigodists gift stems rather than flowers. 

omnigodists don't really believe in free will, only in free would. 

the will is only free if we're willing to pay the price. 

the omnigod is the metaphysical equivalent of aphantasia. both can be remedied by opening one's eyes. 

God isn't faceless, you're just afraid to face him. 

omnigodism is a severe case of not getting that ideas are worth next to nothing and that it's all about the execution. 

atheism seeks non player characters, omnigodism seeks non character players.

 

The fun thing about living in the End Times is the way that evil is so obvious that it's ridiculous. Who could be so mean-spirited as not to enjoy the above photo?

Archbishop Justin Welby is as ridiculous-looking a man as any in public life. His weak, spiteful, dopey face is simply a product of his inner nature; but he must take be allowed to get personal credit for the choice of vestments with their many horrible features.

Most obviously the colours... what could be more approriate than those yellows? And the red cuffs and maroon collar are master strokes of visual incompetence!

Especially fitting are the subtle references to flames rising from hell to engulf him... but - in line with the true man - even these are feeble, blueish, calor gas type flamelets.

Taken in toto this is a perfect get-up for a person of Welby's type - not one of Satan's savage predators; but a runtish puppy; pathetically eager to serve his demonic masters; hoping and expecting to be petted and pampered for loyal service to the anti-Christian mission; but in practice merely pricked, kicked and mocked for his bumbling ineptitude.  


This post is an homage to Bad Vestments, a website that provoked many a 'supertruth laugh' until it became inactive some six years ago - well worth a browse...
