A Holy Vision and a New Beginning
by Michael Gregory Steele and Herman B. Hayes
Please forgive me if I ramble a bit; I've been up since 3 o'clock this morning working on redesigning this blog to better please the Lord. While I went to bed last night determined never to blog again, God had different plans for me.Jesus Christ himself took time out of his busy schedule to visit me in a dream, and he gave me the sign that I had been praying for. He told me that I was special, and that I had a responsibility above all others to preach His word. These were things that I was already well aware of though. This is the same thing Jesus whispers into my ear every time I partake in Holy Communion. "You're special" he'll say as the bread touches my tongue. "Amen," I'll whisper back, "Amen."
But last night he told me something truly amazing -- He spoke to me of what His plans for this blog really are.
Do you accept that the Bible is my divinely inspired word, Michael?I awoke from this holy vision to see that I had scrawled something in a notepad while still asleep. While in this divine trance I had written down God's holy plan for this blog -- a grand plan to redesign and refocus this blog to better serve Him.
Certainly, Lord, only a moron would think otherwise.
And do you think I haven't had anything new to say for the past 1,500 years?
Of course not, but what does this have to do with me?
Your blog must be a continuation of my word. You cannot stop posting to it, because I have many more lessons to teach to my children. I have much to say on many matters including my abhorrence of homosexuals and the inequity of the current progressive tax system.
I understand, Lord, and I will continue this blog as you command.
This plan includes giving better voice to people like Dr. James Dobson, who speaks for God above all. You see, this blog isn't a merely a repository of divinely inspired opinion pieces, but the start of a spiritual revolution. Do not fear, my faithful followers, this is not the end, but instead it is a new beginning.

Frist! Oops, wrong blog.
MGS, you are the greatest! I prayed all weekend that this, the best written blog out there, would not perish from the earth. Keep the faith!
blue gal: Yes, it is clear that this blog is as indispensable to God as it is to you.
I would also like to thank the rest of my many followers for their kind and encouraging words. Ultimately you didn't affect my decision to continue blogging one bit, but the praise was nice to hear nonetheless.
M.G.S. - "...this blog isn't merely a repository of divinely inspired pieces,...". So true. It's more of a suppository. You've been shoving these asinine thoughts up reader's butts for quite a while now.
By the way, tell God for me that I find his concern for the current progresive tax system very touching.
I Love the new look of the blog by the way.
What an absolutely glorious month this has been! God has had an even more direct hand in my life than usual and this newest development really connects the dots for me. My order of Bibles for our new church had been delayed and I was furious, but now I know it was God’s will as there is no longer a need for them since I will be teaching straight from your Holy Blog! This may be a silly question, but since you are now clearly a prophet, will this make me an apostle?
Praise Jesus and the Prophet Michael!
Sometimes parody exhausts itself.
bkwrd_dog: What does the word omnicient mean anything to you, smart guy?
m.r.: I redesigned this blog in part to attempt to trick you. I was hoping you'd visit this site and think you'd typed in the wrong url. Hopefully after trying the same web address about 12 times, you'd give up and never return again. I suppose that was just wishful thinking on my part.
kirk: That is really for the best. You see, God used the best people he could as tools to author the Bible. I unlike some of the more inept transcribers of the Bible will be clear and unequivocal in my posts. There will be no room for "interpretation" here.
I also might be able to put in a word for you to make you an apostle. No promises though.
scribe: You seem to think it is my job to entertain you. I assure you it is not. Why don't you spin around until you make yourself dizzy? That should be fun for you and will keep me from having to read any more of your asinine comments.
Herman, reading your comment brought tears to my eyes. I thought you might have gone away. Thank God you are here, too. And that you know God and HTML. You and MGS know both far better than I. Oh, and Photoshop, too! I am sooo impressed with your firsthand knowledge of Photoshop. I saw Newt Gingrich on C&L, er, I mean, CNN, and he reminded me faintly of you but without the intellect.
YAWN
This blog was vaguely amusing for a few weeks but the constant and heavey-handed parody of neo-cons has wound down to nothingness. You peaked with the hurricane stuff. Now it's just pathetic.
Michael, what is a neo-con? I thought you didn't allow non-Christian splinter groups to post here. Scribe seems like quite an expert in how to be boring.
scribe: Well, gosh, I guess I'll stop begging you to read every new post I write. I'm just so desperate for your approval that maybe I try a little too hard to please you.
Well, actually I never read your blog because I have no interest in what you have to say. I suggest you take a similar tact with mine.
I've heard this term "neoncon" also, but no one has ever told me what it means. Scribe sounds bitter that the Lord overlooked him yet again. The Lord does that a lot with filthy heathens… up until he utterly destroys them with diesease.
Lord Be Praised! As a mere mortal somewhat weaker of mind than our hosts, I chose not to offer any advice, as my advice ouls certainly have been of the inferior variety. I knew that the Lord would lead Michael to the right path, and He did!
Scribe, sadly, is the real parody here-a parody of himself. When the only thing you have to say, post after post, is "you suck," the temptation is to offer you a cracker and ask you if your cage needs cleaning. Time for you to go away, scribe-you have turned away from The Lord, and even worse, you are at best a milquetoast example of the blind liberal. A fiery liberal is much better for contrast purposes.
Thank goodness you stayed-I need your example handy to direct my readers to when I'm explaining what it is we're fighting.
Scribe: Don't kid yourself. The Lord not only overlooked you, but is plotting against you. Even if you liberals get your way, a vaccine won't help you now.
We're sorry, but you cannot have God.
There are many of us true Christians who believe that He would not bless violent aggression, regardless of the rationale. There are many of us who don't need God's name in our national songs, on our currency or in the halls of our government buildings, in order to affirm our faith, and we don't believe He cares too much about that either.
We do not believe our President when he claims to receive direction from God. God has no political ideology. Many of us believe that He will not look kindly on those who use His name for that purpose.

Lee says:
God has no political ideology.
That’s an odd statement. It is quite clear that He would be a Republican because His word talks about morality not liberal debauchery and smear campaigns.
Lee, I hope you didn't expect everyone to read that long-winded comment. Most people are going to read the first few lines, figure out that it's a load of crap and skip to the next one.
I'm just telling you so that you don't waste all your precious liberal time.
In the future, you should keep your comments short, so it won't be such a waste when everyone ignores them.
I'd like to know what scribe thinks but I only get 30 seconds to read his comments before they're deleted.
I was just kidding. No one wants to know what that tool thinks.
anonymous: There's nothing I hate more than indecisiveness. Make up your mind, flip-flopper.
Let him speak you tools of the establishment!!!
