What I believe

I got tagged in game of blog meme by my friend Pam Phillips. It’s a simple enough meme: What are five things you believe? (Pam had tagged me at CollateralDamage but I decided to move the response here to my irony-free zone.)

I believe:

  1. I’ve had enough to drink
  2. in God as I do not understand God
  3. form is emptiness, emptiness is form
  4. art is essential
  5. in everyone’s absolute right not to believe

OK, now I have to pick five folks. First is easy: Jennifer. Then … hmmm … Andrew, Rob, Churbuck and Forbes. Have at it gang.

    Meme received, and currently being pondered. It’s hard, given the self-imposed constraint that one should not quote the first (or any other) line of “The Greatest Love of All.”
    Are you serious about this being an irony-free zone?

    for me it is an irony free zone. all others are welcome to do as they wish.

WTF?

The Ministry of Culture is a blog (duh!) about looking for God in all the facets of culture -- rock & roll, literature, roller derby, opera, comedy and whatever else crosses my path. All opinions will be honest and irony free. However as in everything else not all will be explained.
