The good christians don't want to be linked to *GASP* non-believers. I guess now they have to move their camp because of the media attention.

(Stephen Colbert poked fun at it last year.) They interviewed my friend August, the director of one of the regional sites.

The reporters figured out god was a practical joker because he promised the holy land to the Jews, Muslims, and Christians. They called him a "three-timer", I've been looking for the clip and will post it if I find it. Good stuff. Anyone see the Daily Show last night?

I saw that episdoe too. It was great. I was hoping you had seen it. Yeah, given his satirical style, a “negative” mention from Colbert is pretty much a compliment. I saw that episdoe too.

He's even hawking "Welcome Jesus" T-shirts for ringing in the apocalypse. ;-) Colbert has also been hysterical commenting on the Rapture Ready crowd recently.

You mentioned in a previous post that you were updating your site. Have you done so already? Can you Please crop the tangled mess of a power strip out of your picture at the top of your site? It's really distracting. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Devika Hemant, I really enjoy your blog. You mentioned in a previous post that you were updating your site. Have you done so already?
