Relax; there's no Great Gaping Hole in the local pavement, either.

I smell a haiku coming on,
Historical fact:
Jerusalem does exist,
Therefore God exists. |
"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

Sky Pilot was a great song, about hypocrisy and the role religion can take in promoting war:
He blesses the boys, as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man
Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky
He smiles at the young soldiers, tells them it's all right
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry
Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky
He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given, they move down the line
But he'll stay behind, and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding, or ease the hate
As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you're never alone
He feels so tired as he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said
Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky
In the morning they return with tears in their eyes
The stench of death lifts up to the skies
A young soldier so ill, looks at the Sky Pilot
Remembers the words 'Thou shalt not kill'.
Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky
For those who might not know this fact of American slang, "sky pilot" has long been colloquial for a priest or preacher. In the song, it's one who is also a military chaplain.
There's a little isolated lumber town far north of here in California, named Booneville. It's noted primarily for its humorous local dialect, "Boont," also called "Boontling." (Those terms are themselves Boont for "Booneville talk," and "Booneville lingo," respectively.) Boont includes a number of terms locals have made up over the years. It's a dialect apparently invented for fun by the locals. One Boont word is "skype," a contraction meaning sky pilot, or preacher.

GK Paul:
Argument From Superior complexity:
1) God is a better complex explaination than any other. |
Facts! Pssh, you can prove anything even remotely true with facts.
- Homer Simpson
[God] is an infinite nothing from nowhere with less power over our universe than the secretary of agriculture.
- Prof. Frink
Lisa: Yes, but wouldn't you rather know the truth than to delude yourself for happiness?
Marge: Well... um.... [goes outside to jump on tampoline with Homer.] |

Spirit in the Sky
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best
Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
Therefore God exists.
Seriously, I've always assumed this song is spoof, not proof, of religion. Any opinions?
I had to look up these lyrics because this song has been the latest of a life-long line of "earwigs" going through my mind. Especially when (but not exclusive to) first waking up, I often "hear" such tunes. But "Spirit in the Sky" is a vast improvement on my previous earwig, which was that awful Cantina theme from Star Wars. That tune was most appropriate for the scene it was used in, but is a very annoying tune outside that context! Often earwigs are the most annoying of tunes.
Anyway, I appreciate the change in earwig, therefore God exists.
Edited to add: Aha! Found a great video of the song. Very fun production, this. Kind of an Anglo-Indian romp. Merry Krishmas!
Therefore, God exists.
