Some interesting developments on the Dowbrigade
\n Religion Project<\/a>. Like all fledgling movements it is meeting with
\n some skepticism and resistance from the major players in the God game,
\n but hopefully
\n faith, fervor and fantasy will win out in the end. Meanwhile, the project
\n continues to develop.<\/p>\n

We are honored to announce the immanent ascention of
\n Denis
\n Moser<\/a>, an exemplary FactMeister and winner of the Third
\n Reich Wine Hunt<\/a>, as the first and foremost Archbishop Extraordinaire.
\n Said staid position infers upon its holder absolutely no responsibility
\n or reward
\n other than smug satisfaction and possible Federal and State tax exemptions,
\n depending on solicitations currently before the American Council of Religions.<\/p>\n

In addition, one of our early projects has been to update the antiquated
\n weekly calendar which has been in common use since the Roman times.Talk
\n about overdue for an upgrade! Most great religious movements, like the
\n Gregorians for example, take a stab
\n at rewriting the Calendar.  What better way to get people marching
\n to your beat? Well, we have updated the whole weekday paradigm by integrating
\n it with the bleeding edge world of corporate sponsorship.<\/p>\n

We are currently in negotiation with a number of forward-looking corporate
\n entities for 10-year contracts (DecaDays) for naming rights to the Days
\n of the Week.  Although we have not nailed down all of the exact
\n dollar amounts, here is the provisional lineup as it stands now. Of course,
\n these selections are subject to change as better offers flood in. Basically, this is what all new calendars would look like:<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\n
7<\/strong><\/font><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

\n Finally, in terms of our evolving Dogma, the Dowbrigade has concluded that
\n the true power and mystery of religion resides in the SEARCH for Truth,
\n rather than in any abstract Truth Itself, which, if it indeed exists,
\n probably cannot be comprehended by Mortal Man.<\/p>\n

Therefore most of what we plan to do on the religion front is speculate
\n and investigate the really Big Questions, like "Why are we here?" and
\n "Can we trust the Universe?" and "Why is no food Blue, except Blueberries,
\n which really aren’t?" Stay tuned..<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
