Why do people still believe America was founded on Christianity? It wasn't! Ghosts could tell you that!

"Lighthouses are more helpful than churches."— George Washington 

"I looked around for God's judgments, but saw no signs of them."— George Washington

"I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature."— Thomas Jefferson 

"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." — Ben Franklin 

"What have been the fruits of Christianity? Superstition, bigotry and persecution." — James Madison

The ghost story interviews continue here in the South. Some of these people are amazing! Great stories. Sweet people. Down home, simple folk. Some with scary views of America and Life and hatred of anyone not like them. Still fascinating, though. 

This Friday, I will be interviewed on a Country Radio Station Morning Show and then at lunch I will be on TV.

Down here, many tell me amazing ghost stories past down through their families, then they quickly preface it with something like, "Now, I believe in God, he makes my life so wonderful, but he does test me and I've accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and we go to church 4 times a week, however I believe Satan lives in my trailer!"

People want to tell me their stories, but fear what their fellow church goers will think of them. They want to tell me strange things, but don't want to be thought of as strange. Many confuse ghost stories with gossip. They tell me, "Everyone has some skeletons in their closets here," but they don't want to go on record revealing them. A few have broken into a ghost story to insert their patriotism and even change the subject to one of the mosque being built 600 ft. from ground zero and how the ghosts of the victims will haunt us if we let this happen.

Life is so amazing and wonderful! What a strange species we are! What an amazing and interesting country this is, so beautiful and scary. We seek entertainment. We tell stories. We lie to each other trying to make ourselves feel better and we lie to ourselves to help pass the days.

I'm working on some projects now, that may soon alter my current situation and redefine me as a man, an artist and an American. I want you stick with me so you can witness my ascent and experience the shock, awe and mystery that lies between the pit of my fears and the summit of my knowledge.
