The God Banana

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 20, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 7, 2013

On YouTube, recently, a video was posted of a Christian program called “The Way of the Master” wherein the hosts, Ray Comfort and actor, Kirk Cameron gave their argument for creationism based on the “design” of a banana. Included in their argument were points they said showed that the banana was a product of Intelligent Design, i.e., God. They said the banana is shaped to fit the human hand; that it’s color-coded so we know when it’s not ripe, when it’s overly ripe, and when it’s just ripe enough; that it has a handy pull tab, and perforations to allow … Continue reading →

Thatness And Whatness

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 20, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 8, 2013

(from my book in progress, Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology”) Existence and essence–two things we are prevented from knowing about god from within the Christian faith. Why would we adopt a lifestyle, belief system, code, or any other guideline that has no basis in rational thought or empirical proof? Christian theology states that God is incorporeal, which is to say, non-material. This means God is not composed of matter, which renders the reference to God as a being meaningless. For if something is non-matter, how could it matter? We are beings who are made of matter … Continue reading →

Honk if You’ll Kill for God

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 20, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 20, 2008

(from my book in progress, Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology”) …We have had time to evolve since those dark days. Yet, how could we, when there were so many examples and encouragements to keep us uncivilized and vicious? In the story of Abraham and Isaac most Americans are familiar with, God commanded Abe to sacrifice his son to Him. Old Abe never batted an eye. Good thing an Angel stilled his hand just in time. Abraham was praised and promised blessings because he feared the Lord enough to sacrifice his son, whom he loved, because “God” … Continue reading →

Pascal’s Wager: Hedging The Bet

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 20, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 20, 2008

(from my book in progress, Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology”) One explanation that often comes from the lips of the faithful is this: “I’m not sure, but I think I will go with the God is real thing, just in case–if I do, and it’s true, I’ll be covered; if I don’t, and it’s true, I’ll burn in hell.”  This is known as Pascal’s Wager. [1] First, this ideation doesn’t address WHICH God you should accept or worship. This is often referred to as the “avoiding the wrong hell” conundrum. And what if God is real, … Continue reading →

Mibber Who?.

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 20, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 20, 2008

(from my book in progress, Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology”) “Mibber is loving and wise. Mibber is the essence of all matter and energy. Mibber has not limits. Mibber is all powerful.” When hearing statements such as these, it is not our first inclination to ask “What does that mean, in relation to this “Mibber”? or “how is it that Mibber can be all these things?” your first question is naturally, “What IS Mibber?” First, we must define an object before we can even begin to examine the other questions that arise once we understand the … Continue reading →

The Furnace of Furniss

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 20, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 20, 2008

(from my book in progress, Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology”) A popular booklet for children in the late 19th Century was authored by Father Furniss, an English priest who wrote “books for children.” Furniss delighted in describing the horrors of hell: “…his eyes were like two burning coals. Two long flames came our of his ears…sometimes he opens his mouth, and breath of blazing fire rolls out. But listen! There is a sound just like that of a kettle boiling. Is it really a kettle boiling? No. Then what is it? Hear what it is. The … Continue reading →

Remains to be seen

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 15, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 5, 2011

Today, there is supposed to be this big announcement about the Bigfoot carcass allegedly found in the woods in Atlanta area. The men who have him in a freezer say they say two other Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) dragging the body through the woods. They procured the thing and dragged it out themselves. They are quoted with some big talk, like how everyone will be sorry if they are skeptical. I’m anxious and curious to know the truth. But I don’t believe it for a minute. Remains to be seen. (literally).

What I’m up to…

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 13, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 5, 2011

I’m moving to Boulder, CO at the end of the year. Have three friends moving there at the same time, too. That’s convenient. I’m really looking forward to it. Meantime, I’m going through everything and getting rid of as much as possible. Too much to pack and move this time. Also working diligently on one of my current books: “Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology.” Probably my hardest project so far, but I felt I had to do this for me and maybe for anyone else out there who struggles with such things. Also waiting to hear … Continue reading →

Told you it’s about the Oceans.

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 10, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 5, 2011

In a previous post, I lamented the way we hyperfocus on space exploration when the oceans on our own planet offer humanity so much. Here’s some more evidence I was right.   Cancer-inhibiting Compound Found Under The Sea ScienceDaily (Aug. 10, 2008) University of Florida College of Pharmacy researchers have discovered a marine compound off the coast of Key Largo that inhibits cancer cell growth in laboratory tests, a finding they hope will fuel the development of new drugs to better battle the disease. The UF-patented compound, largazole, is derived from cyanobacteria that grow on coral reefs. Researchers, who described … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"I dreamed I was somewhere doing something and there was this other person who was there and I knew them but they were someone else really and I was trying to do something but I don't remember what. And then I woke up."

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)
