I expect this blog site will contain four types of posts: reflective meditations on/with the divine One, pacifist ponderings/proverbs/prayers, an ongoing collection of "unquotes" from Jesus (things he never said), and occasional rants about aspects of American "cultural" and political life, including abuses (creative adaptations) of the English language.


I maintain an unabashed pacifism (despite the spiraling violence around us), an unabashed Christianity (despite the abuses and embarrassments caused by conservative brothers and sisters), an unabashed admirer of those who deliver us from slavish readings of the Bible (He never authorized a "new testament"), and an unabashed belief in the ideals of democracy, equality and freedom from oppressive government - all of which depend on intelligent use of language.

I have collected over 1500 of Jesus' Unquotes. These are the things Bible scholars have no interest in verifying: what He never said. These unquotes reveal a great deal about Him, however, and are far easier to confirm as never having been spoken by Him. (I'm certain He never spoke English.) I hope they provide some humor relief from all the sober prattle that has imposed so much unreality upon Him.
