Looking for a specific Raging comic and/or
Rant and can't find it?
Eat
Of My Pie
This
cartoon is another slice from my semi-autobiographical
pie. It didn't take a child prodigy to
figure out that there was something fishy
about a book supposedly written by the
hand of god that no one seemed interested
in
following to the letter. If, for instance,
obstreperous sons were regularly stoned
to death in
the street I might have more enthusiastically
hedged my devotional bets. At the very
least it
would
have been
fun
throwing
the first stone.
God would have wanted it that way.

I'm an odd pagan duck as I enjoy Xmas music year
'round. For me it's like musical comfort food. Naturally,
being
a heathen,
the menu
excludes any tunes that refer to baby Jesus because
when it comes to songs about mythical
characters I prefer good old Santa
as he actually delivers the goods.
Fortunately for my peculiar tastes iTunes features
several stockings full of seasonal music stations,
though squirreled
away
in the Religious category. While rooting around in
there I couldn't help noticing that they also host
hundreds of
stations
featuring the Bible being read in every language
known to man, and some I'm sure are of extra-terrestrial
origin.
It doesn't really bother me as no one in their right
mind would listen to that stuff (a back-handed compliment
to Bible fans if there ever was one)
but it seems to me that, in all fairness, there ought
to be just as many stations hosting
readings
of Carl Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted World",
or Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five",
maybe
even Albert Camus' "The Stranger"
or Steinbecks' "East of Eden".
Just sayin'.

Bonus Cartoon Alert: Hey!
There's a bonus cartoon, but you probably
already knew that when you moused over
today's hilarious offering.

A little Xmas treat
for you: Part 2 of Glenn
Mitchell's Xmas
Blockbuster, a Dallas tradition since
1975. This 20-minute chunk features the
infamous "I Want A Goat For Christmas"
by the Wilder Brothers, among other alternative
Xmas tunes.
