Colonizing vs. Philosophizing

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 4, 2017 by Kelli Jae BaeliOctober 15, 2018

From blog-idea archives…. On one of those insipid questions sites, someone asked,  “If something happened to Earth, would you move to another planet?” A few underlying fallacies here. First, if something happened to Earth, you wouldn’t have that choice, so the whole construct of that question falls apart at the beginning. Second, this reasoning is like driving your car until it runs out of gas or breaks down, and then shopping for another one, instead of just maintaining the vehicle properly. Third, were we not dependent on fossil fuels, we would not be in a battle against climate change, and … Continue reading →

Condemned to Repeat it?

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on April 4, 2013 by Kelli Jae BaeliApril 4, 2013

Today, I woke, sat down to my first cup of coffee and found a headline that gave me the sensation of a lead weight in my stomach. North Carolina May Declare Official State Religion Under New Bill Republican North Carolina state legislators have proposed allowing an official state religion in a measure that would declare the state exempt from the Constitution and court rulings. The bill, filed Monday by two GOP lawmakers from Rowan County and backed by nine other Republicans, says each state “is sovereign” and courts cannot block a state “from making laws respecting an establishment of religion.” … Continue reading →

E Pluribus Unum, dammit

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on November 28, 2012 by Kelli Jae BaeliMay 3, 2018

I’m sorry, but I just had to post this. One of my friends on Facebook (who believes in god and I suppose considers herself a christian) posted this sign, which she apparently found inspiring. As this sort of thing continues to piss me off, I had to comment on it: Jae Baeli What FAILED was religion insinuating and then forcing itself into our government. The sign above just represents ANOTHER ABSOLUTELY FALSE belief. The country was NOT founded on In God We Trust or God or religion or CHristian principles… This was adopted as the motto of the US in … Continue reading →

Philosophy, Sexual Orientation, Elephants, & Truth

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 12, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 4, 2013

Thought I would share something that got lost in the shuffle a while back: Posted by Kelli Jae Baeli on September 12, 2009 at 8:00pm *from comment thread with Lee…..in attempting a succinct response, I found myself falling into my nature as a writer, and this comment became lengthy. That was a warning for the faint of heart. I cross-posted here, so that someone might be able to read it later, here, if they become overwhelmed with it, there. Smelling salts available.** Lee, thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. I admire philosophers and philosophy majors…it’s fascinating, necessary, but … Continue reading →

The Great Fib

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on April 22, 2010 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 4, 2013

excerpt from  Supernatural Hypocrisy:  The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology Volume 3: Cosmology of the Bible  by Kelli Jae Baeli The Great Fib There’s a huge hole in the whole Flood drama, because anything that could float or swim got away scot-free, and it was the idea to wipe out everything, He didn’t say, “I will kill everything, except the floating ones and the swimming ones, who will get out due to a loophole. ~ Eddie Izzard The story of the flood is a familiar to most people. A man is instructed by God to build a large boat … Continue reading →

Devout Follower seeks Advice from Dr. Laura….

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 27, 2009 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 7, 2013

Dear Dr. Laura,   Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.   I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know … Continue reading →

Satan believes in God, therefore God exists

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on September 11, 2009 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 7, 2013

From Mothrust.com, the following delightful exchange. Apparently I do believe in God, I just won’t admit to it. One cocky seventeen year old fellow, Micah Sonatra, (Deven Hoffpauir, with his truly kitschy myspace) who I thought was a middle-aged lady, said that it was obvious God existed because even Lucifer believes in God – that was the crux of his argument. What the..! Stating that one imaginary character exists because another imaginary character believes it exists is like saying, “Of course Santa Clause is real, heck… even the tooth fairy knows that”. ——- — – Sonatra: You see, you have … Continue reading →

A Sign of the Times

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on March 27, 2009 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 27, 2009

I’ve had repeated problems with who i call Door Christians. I resorted to putting a sign on my door to fend them off.But my previous sign was not enough to deter these religious zealots who knock and want to share their myths with me. Since I often sleep during the day, this is usually cause for great irritation. I had to go to a sign that was more caustic. {it’s really harsh, but it still makes me laugh}.

Ukrainian in the Lion’s Den

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on March 9, 2009 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 9, 2009

“A man shouting “God will save me if he exists”, lowered himself by a rope into the big cats’ enclosure in Kiev zoo, Ukraine, on Sunday, 4 June, when the zoo was packed with visitors. He then took his shoes off and went up to the lions. A lioness knocked him down and severed his carotid artery, killing him instantly. Lions and tigers are kept in an “animal island” protected by thick concrete blocks. “* Another example of why religious zealotry and the BIBLE can be dangerous. Remember “Daniel in the Lion’s Den”? ————————* http://www.forteantimes.com/strangedays/strangedeaths/379/an_act_of_faith.html

Door Christians

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on June 12, 2003 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 8, 2013

Well here’s my latest little adventure…I’m one of those people who has to have a certain amount of control over my environment to be happy. When that gets disrupted, it fucks with my Chi, as I like to say. As a songwriter, I often spend long hours working on tracking my music in my home studio. I was in the middle of recording a new song and had already started over twice, and really had it going good this time when…. …there was a knock at the door. My dog, Giz, went to barking, (‘Cause it fucks with his Chi, … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"Irony is alive and well, when you are stranded with a flat tire and your can of fix-a-flat has a hole in it."

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)
