Fresh Intelligence : Radar Online : Sarah Palin Meets Woody Allen

Neglecting my blahging again. Amateurish but funny Sarah Palin/Woody Allen mash-up courtesy the phoenix of publications, where old Gawker editors go to die, Radar:

Fresh Intelligence : Radar Online : Sarah Palin Meets Woody Allen

So as for me I'm still kind of going through my religious mania phase. In fact I've been reading Tolstoy's The Kingdom of Heaven is Within You, which is kind of making me rethink my entire world-view, which is something I haven't really done since I was, like, sixteen. It's exciting and unnerving. Will it stick? Is it a flash in the pan? Can I really become a Christian anarchist? Can I even in good conscience vote in the coming election? Can I even in good conscience travel on roads paid for by the government? I can probably do the latter at least because taking things that far is kerazy. As for voting, my conscience at the moment is actually telling me that it's wrong, but I'm in too deep now with this election cycle to get out now. But maybe it will be my last ever vote. Who knows. I'm thinking maybe I should become a Quaker, if anything. No necessary baptism, totally unprogrammed and egalitarian worship, the priesthood of all believers, complete pacifism--i.e. not worming out of Christ explicit instructions as given on the Sermon on the Mount with some Just War nonsense. I don't even feel comfortable blogging about any of this because Jesus said, if you want to go on the street corner or on the television or on the blogosphere and give your prayers out loud, you'll have your reward--you'll have your attention, that is, which is all you're seeking to gain by acting in that manner. All I know is my religious mania phase is switching from asking questions to finding a few answers, which I give thumbs up to.
