In Leviticus 20-13 God Condemns homosexuality, men having sex with other men. He proclaims "They both shall be put to death". No where in Leviticus does it mention two women having sex. Remember that fact, you will need the information later.
Leviticus is the Old Testament I have been told repeatedly by people that I know who are WAY more knowledgeable than I am on the bible that "We are no longer living under the Old Testament" so I should concentrate on the New Testament. I have done that. The closest I can come to finding condemnation for homosexuals in the New Testament is Mark 7-21 It says For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' "
"Sexual Immorality" covers a HUGE area. Just those two words by my estimate will condemn 95% of men, gay or straight, women too. Oral sex is considered by a huge majority to be a sin, I'd bet $2 and my left nut that it's overlooked by those same people whenever they are in the mood...
Nowhere does it mention homosexuality. Also, if we are truly living under the New Testament, why are we still being told the evils of gay marriage in churches all over? God loves people. God created people. God even created gay and lesbian people. God loves them. Why do you hate them?
I know that a HUGE majority of conservative Christians believe that homosexuality or Lesbianism is a choice. They simply are wrong. I suspect however that the vast majority will never be willing to look at any scientific research that proves otherwise.
I personally have known several people that are gay or lesbian when they were young. It was clear even at a very young age that they were vastly different in how they presented themselves, spoke, and interacted with other members of their gender. So, going by what I am told to believe by those that side with God is that 4 and 5 year old children have made a conscious decision to be gay. Really? Please open your eyes and think.
I believe in God too. I freely admit that when it comes to living a good clean Christian life I can't live up to most. I don't even try. I believe that love is love. If two people love each other they should be able to get married. Why should gays and lesbians not be allowed the right to be as miserable as straight married couples?
Finally, in this religious argument that lesbians should not be allowed to marry it's clear that it has no merit under "God's Law". Lesbians are never mentioned in the bible.
God loves us all, whether we have hate in out heart or not. Those who speak out against gay marriage are simply telling the world they feel that they are better than others. Guess what? That's a sin.......
Peace and Love Ya'll

God and Beer. How the Giraffe came to be
I have been thinking about giraffes a lot today. Below is my theory on how they came to be in existence. It's only a theory. I could be wrong, I don't think I am, but I could be.
The scene opens with God sitting at his workbench with his machines on creating a new creature. He has created the body, legs, and tail of this creature, as he is moving onto the neck he glances down into the Garden of Eden to check on things and sees Eve running around naked, yet again.
"Great Googly Moogly"!!!! God exclaims. "St. Peter!!!!, Hey Pete get in here, she's naked again"!!!!
"Bring some beer"!! God yells, "I've never seen her do this before."
St. Peter comes running in lugging a case of Miller High Life.
"What's she doing now, God"? he asks.
"Not sure what you call it". God replies, "But I did not intend for a snake to be used in that manner, hand me a beer".
"I don't know why she keeps doing crap like his". God says "I gave them a fig tree, I even strongly hinted that the leaves would be perfect for covering up a little. She sure makes it hard to get any work done".
"Speaking of work" St. Peter says, "What are you working on now"?
"HOLY CRAP"!!!! God yells as he turns around "I forgot to turn the machine off"!!!!!!
St. Peter turns to see what is going on and starts howling with drunken laughter. "What the hell is that"???? he howls. Seeing the newly created creature with an extremely long neck.
"I was working on the neck when that idiot in the garden distracted me". says God as he begins to laugh as well. "Man, when this thing gets a sore throat it's gonna be really pissed." he says with a giggle.
"It looks all out of proportion" St. Peter says
"I will fix the neck". God says "Wait, I have a better idea" he says as he begins to giggle uncontrollably. "I'm gonna make the legs longer instead, They will think I was on acid when I made this thing."
Our scene ends with God and St. Peter finishing off the case of beer and laughing like only drunken men can. What started out as a mistake has become one of the most beloved animals on earth. Funny how things work out.

Politics and Jesus
First off I'd like to say that this is not intended to offend any of my friends. I am not picking on anyone. This is just something that has been on my mind, and when something is on my mind I write about it.
Everyone who knows me knows that I am a liberal. Not just a little liberal, if I lean any farther left I will probably fall off. I don't hate conservatives as some people think I do. I think they are wrong about everything, but I don't hate them.
What really, really bothers me is conservatives touting themselves as the party of religion and Jesus. There are several things against this that I'd like to point out.
First off, I'd like you to picture in your head your vision of a hippie. I am betting you picture a man with long hair, a beard, probably wearing sandals. Jesus was a hippie. Hippies are liberal, they love the whole world and all it's sights and sounds. Conservatives do not.
The conservative party is the one that is totally against abortion AND is totally in favor of the death penalty. Murder is murder. Before you start, I have read the bible too. I know all about "an eye for an eye". I also know about the 10 commandments, they overrule all other law. The 6th commandment does not say "Thou shall not kill except in these cases". It says "Thou shall NOT KILL."
Jesus worked hard for the common man. Do I really need to explain this further? The dude was a liberal.
Jesus went all Bruce Lee on the asses of the money changers who were corrupting the temple. Moneylenders=Capitalism=Conservatives. Jesus won. Jesus was a liberal.
Jesus washed the feet of his disciples to teach them humility. Can you really picture a conservative doing this? If you say yes, you are either lying to yourself, or totally clueless. Picture who gives to and helps out the downtrodden, liberals. Jesus was a liberal.
I rest my case.

Below is my interview with Christopher Todd Davis. He is a great artist and I recommend you check out his CD titled Patience is a Virtue You will also find many videos on Youtube from him. Great music from a great guy, check him out, you won't be sorry.
1. Who are your biggest musical influences?
KISS, CHEAP TRICK, WAYLON JENNINGS, GRAM PARSONS, LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM just to name a scattered few...
2. What was your first guitar?
My actual first guitar, other than tennis rackets that I MADE INTO GUITARS, was one that had no brand name on it. It had a bunch of toggle switches and buttons on it. Not your typical guitar. It had a tobacco sunburst finish and strat type body style. Probably some mail order or TV guitar. I paid 15 bucks for it.
3. Do you still have it?
No, was just saying last night that I wish I still had every guitar I have ever owned. Oh, except one.. I had a Kramer "Striker" for a while when I was 18 or 19 that I am glad to be parted with.. That thing wouldn't stay in tune for NOTHING !
4. How did you get the gig to sing a song for the "Guitar Hero 3" game?
Well, first off I used to sing in an Alice Cooper tribute band called THE SICK THINGS. So one day a close friend of mine gets a call from a friend of HIS and the guy wants the number to the local DJ, because he does these things called "Twisted Tunes" where he tries to find singers that sound just like the original, but have them sing funny words over the tune instead. For instance, he once did the song "What If God was one of us?" and had the singer change it to 'What If God smoked cannabis?" That kind of thing. Well the guy on the other end of my buddy's phone wanted that DJ's number so he could find someone who sounded like Alice Cooper. My buddy said, "you don't need to call anyone, I know just the guy." The next day I was in the studio singing the song. Funny thing tho, I recorded my vocal BEFORE they recorded the music. Modern technology !!
5. Where is your favorite place on earth?
Well, I haven't done an extensive amount of traveling. But there is an old military base up on the Islands north of Seattle called Fort Casey. It was built in 1897 in case of an attack. No gun was ever fired there. It was never used. But it IS in the movie "An Officer and a Gentlemen" when dude is making Richard Gere do the push ups out in the rain. That is Fort Casey. It is in other scenes of that movie as well. I am not sure why I like it so much there, but I can go and hang out there all day long. You can spend hours walking around this place, underground into dark bunkers, way above ground where all the canons are still in place. It is just, for some weird reason, relaxing to me to hang out there...
Lately tho, it is Leipers Fork TN.
I love the vibe of that place...
6. What's next with your music, are you working on a new record?
I have the songs for a new record and I keep saying I am going to start one, but I am a little technically challenged when it comes to using the studio here. Every time I think I figure it out and I am ready to record there seems to be something else I don't know that holds me up. But I do hope to get started on it soon... I really like a lot of the new material I have written for it. Now if I can just get it recorded the way I hear it in my head. THAT is always the biggest problem...
7. What would you say is your "dream venue" for a show?
Saturday Night Live. Can't explain why. Some folks will say playing a big venue... for me... SNL has always been it. I know that's funny, but it's true. Perhaps I should learn to set my sights higher.. HAHA
8. It's well known that you hate tomatoes. Is this just the fruit itself or tomato based items such as spaghetti sauce as well?
Just the tomato. I do not like BIG SLICES of tomato on my food. I can handle small diced ones to a certain extent. But I have no problem with catchup or Spaghetti Sauce. I am weird, what can I tell ya...
9. What is your favorite song of all time, and why?
Well, I used to very quickly say MY WAY. Elvis' version, although Franks version is great too. I just love that Elvis live version... But I am not really sure I have a favorite ALL TIME song. I love so much music, it really changes from day to day...
10. How do you feel about ducks?
Well, I grew up in Oregon.... so sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night like Billy Bob Thornton in that movie "BANDITS." I just wake up and scream "BEAVERS AND DUCKS" for NO REASON AT ALL !!!

Things That Are Bugging Me
First off, what the hell happened to country music? Remember the old George Jones song "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes"? Well, the answer is nobody. At least on mainstream radio. There is still plenty of good country music out there, but it's hidden from most, you have to dig for it.
Taylor Swift? I really want her to make a swift exit from the public eye. She is NOT country. You know that surgery for dogs to cut their vocal chords when they bark to much? I think Taylor Swift is the perfect candidate for the human trial.
Carrie Underwood? She has a good porn star name, that's what she should be doing. She can't sing and she is NOT country.
Rascal Flatts? I'd rather have by balls squashed flat with a wooden hammer than to hear one note from these bastards. Again, IT'S NOT COUNTRY.
I don't know who decided that steel guitar and fiddle no longer belong in Nashville but that person is the world's leading expert on jackassery. (it's a word, I just made it up)
Second, people with cell phones are getting out of control. It seems very clear that most people cannot talk on a cell phone AND push a shopping cart without running into people, yet they are allowed to DRIVE A CAR while using them.....
The other day at a store I heard two teenage girls talking to each other very loudly. They were speaking to each other in text message shorthand, cell phones are making today's children stupid. They can no longer speak and spell words correctly. You may think "Hey, they are just kids, it's no big deal". These kids are going to grow up though, they will be performing your heart surgery, and running your country someday.
The people who wander around with the little bluetooth things in their ear..... Wow, their is so much to say about them I don't really know where to begin. Do you really feel you are so important you HAVE to be able to talk to anyone, anytime? Really? Is the checkout line at Wal-Mart the best time to talk to your cousin about his genital warts? YOU PEOPLE ARE BUGGING THE FUCK OUT OF ME AND I DEMAND IT STOP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Third, republicans. Well, they bug me all the time, see previous blogs...
Fourth, people who do not use their turn signals. OOOHHH how I loathe you. I am keeping track, and when I am in charge of the world you will pay, you will pay dearly.
Fifth, FOX news. "Fair and Balanced"? Really? If FOX news is fair and balanced I will wear a sundress to church Sunday, complete with a parasol. Fox news is skewed so far to the right I really don't see how is stays on the TV screen. To Glen Beck, man, just shut the fuck up. I don't like you.
That's all for now. This message was brought to you be Copenhagen Snuff. Since 1822, it satisfies.
