Mikey Snot Is Great
Not a messianic Jew, but in the Jesus Seminar. What?

Wednesday, October 19, 2005, Buzz Fugazi


It's true, soul brothers and soul sisters. The whole reason I got into the Jesus Seminar is because of Paul Johnson's "A History of the Jews." Paul is a goy, but he gave the Tribe a pretty fair shake. I think if someone reads that along with Abba Eban's "My People" they'll have a fair general knowledge of where we comin' from, aaaaaiiiiiiiight? I wanted to give the Christians the same decent treatment. Y' know... write a book.

So I go to my faculty advisor in the Philosophy Department and I'm all "Yo, Tom, what up? Man, it's been just over 20 years since I started college. Maybe I should go back to being a scholar, yo. Do my senior thesis and shit."

I tell him about the Paul Johnson experience and he's like "Check it, dude. Jesus Seminar. Far out stuff."

I'm not a Messianic Jew, but some of my best friends are... they good people. Me? I'm all about the One. One all-powerful, all-creating, but I get nervous if I start thinking I can speak too much about what the One is all about. Intoxicating drug. Burn a hole right through your skull just saying a name:

G-d! G-d! G-d! G-d! ZAP!!!!

People that are too familiar with the where and the what of all that power make me nervous, yo.

Pat Robertson? Don't stand too close to that man. Lightning might strike any minute.
