Believe in Everything


Welcome to "The Gods Are Bored!" We love your gods and goddesses. We love all the forgotten gods and goddesses, the ones who used to get showered with love and now have to work night shift at CVS.

We at "The Gods Are Bored" love being called tree-hugging liberals. Because we hug trees. Really. If you haven't hugged a tree, you ought to try it. It's a living thing, with a Right to Life.

We at "The Gods Are Bored" resent being called "godless liberal." For the love of ducks, it's just raining gods and goddesses on this site! You can hardly move without stepping on a faerie! We host interviews with bored gods and goddesses from every culture on the globe. So, we are emphatically not godless.

We don't try to foist our beliefs on other people. We figure actions speak louder than words. And bumper stickers speak louder than actions.

So, our little 12-year-old economy car is slathered with bumper stickers, the favorite being: "My karma ran over my dogma."

While we respect deities, we have nothing but contempt for politicians at every level of society. Party doesn't matter. They're all the same, case closed.

This comes from our ancestors marching in the Whiskey Rebellion and being shot at on orders of George Washington. Or maybe it comes from running with the likes of William Wallace. Can't trace it back that far.

So, if you need a god or goddess (we admit to favoring The Goddess, she was here first), come and see us. We'll fill your need no matter how esoteric or individualized.

Our operators are standing by to take your call.

My, what a fine foto of the Gundestrup cauldron! (Please forgive; it's not often I get to show off my knowledge of archaeological esoterica -- mainly because I rarely remember any).

No one could possibly call you a "godless" anything, anne. You're right -- *the gods are bored* is teeming with male deity (as well as female). Must be a reader who swooped in, failed to read anything, and swooped out again.
