Was Jesus a Socialist?

Millions of people in this country base their presidential vote on personal financial gain rather than the welfare of humanity. Tragic, disgusting, unfortunate, embarrassing, inhumane, and sad.

How about the Christian fundamentalists who will always vote Republican based on the traditional connection between right wing conservatism and Christianity? Well, well, well.. Once again, I smell HYPOCRISY!!! Those who claim to be following the teachings of Jesus, and voted for McCain, are unfortunately, disobeying Jesus. Because Jesus wanted to share the wealth. McCain, AKA, the embodiment of Satan, encourages the philosophy, that those who are well off should gain more, and those with nothing are not worth anyone's time. Uh-- How many houses does he have again?

Anyhow, interesting that the Christian right overwhelmingly supports the McCain/Palin ticket, when it is actually BARACK OBAMA, who is exemplifying the teachings of JESUS, by suggesting a tax system in which the wealthy are taxed more and the poor are given a break.

If you're a Christian or a scripture abiding Jew, and you voted McCain, you're not paying very close attention to your God.

For example:

Matthew 19 : 21-24
21 Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Likewise the Torah teaches that spreading the wealth is generally a good idea, expressed in Leviticus 25:35-37:

"If one of your countrymen becomes poor and is unable to support himself among you, help him as you would an alien or a temporary resident, so he can continue to live among you. Do not take interest of any kind from him, but fear your God, so that your countryman may continue to live among you. You must not lend him money at interest or sell him food at a profit."

Therefore, I suppose at this point, the conservative Christian right should come to terms with the conclusion that the Good Lord Jesus Christ was in fact-- a socialist.

Obama Has Come Around

A couple of blogs ago I was not happy with Obama's performance at the Pastor Rick discussions. Well, I can say now, Barack has come around full circle, and I do sincerely believe that he is the absolute best that the Democratic party has to offer. His speeches every night late in his campaign have been mind blowing... impressive... Speehes that sound like they will be historical classic speeches for all times, right along side the great famous speeches by JFK, Bobby, and MLK. He shoots from the heart, and for once, we have a politician on a positive vibe. I was always going to vote for him... that wasn't the question... the question was, is he strong enough to beat McCain... The answer is... He is a far superior potential commander in chief than the negative rhetoric driven geriatric John McCain. 'Nuff said.

Making Fun of Jesus (and other deities for that matter)

Got some people upset at me for making fun of Jesus and here's what I have to say on that topic: Jesus was an enlightened being...He most certainly had to have had a sense of humor. Being fully spiritually realized, he would have been void of all ego, which means he would have taken no offense to anyone who seemingly "made fun of him" even if it were perceived by others to be insults. Any so-called Christians, i.e. followers of Jesus, who become offended by Jesus jokes, are not truly following the teachings of Christ. Because Jesus told you to turn the other cheek, and he never told anyone to come to his defense, and furthermore, according to the bible, Jesus despised religion! By being part of organized religion, you disobey his true teachings. So to the so-called "Christian Warriors of God," educate yourselves on the true teachings of Jesus, and stop being hypocrites by supporting the annihilation of other races and creeds. If you are offended by Jesus jokes, it is because you live your life in fear, and your ego has total control of you. The teachings of Jesus were no different from that of the Buddah and Lord Krishna...Look deep within yourself, to destroy the fear you hold within, and peel away the layers of your ego, so that your true inner self, the infinite light being that dwells throughout the cosmos, may emerge and shine on forever. Show some love people! Check out God Loves ME best! It's dedicated not only to all the hypocrites, but to the people who enjoy making fun of the hypocrites.

Pastor Rick's Purpose Driven Talks - Obama's Blunders

Last night's purpose driven discussions between Pastor Rick Warren and the presidential candidates is yet another perfect example of why the time is now for God Loves ME Best! Jesus Christ!! Are you fucking kidding me? An evangelical religious platform to question presidential candidates on their purpose and intent. WHAT THE?????

I want the republicans out of office just as much as the next advocate for Earth and humanity, but listen, McCain blew Obama out of California last night. Both candidates were excellent at dodging the actual questions and answering everything in a round-about way that would seem to appease all, but there was one tough question where Obama seriously blundered; The one that Pastor Rick asked about the definition of RICH in America. Obama stupidly defined rich as having an income of over $150K, and then proceeded to explain how he would create higher taxes for that category! While it makes sense to tax the rich and relieve the poor, the higher income swing voters don't want to hear stuff like that. McCain, masterfully answered that question, explaining that the term RICH was all relative, and pertained to having a good job, with a home and a supportive family, and then explained that he didn't want to raise taxes for anyone.

If Obama is the best that that Democrats could do to produce a quality candidate, I can tell you already, looks like God is going to like the republicans best because Obama is playing right into the hands of the war mongers! Get used to war people!! Cuz' it ain't ending in our life-times unless the Obama camp devises more intelligent tactics.

And by the way...Did anyone notice McCain claiming that he "knows how to get Osama Bin Laden?" How the fuck do you know how to get Osama Bin Laden unless he's playing croquet in your back yard? WHAT THE???!!! WHAT IN THE??!!!

Go Michael Phelps!!!!!!!!

The True Religion of God

I received a comment today from a Muslim: "Islam is a peaceful religion , Islam is the true religion of God."
Here's the video he sent me: (It's a lovely video, I truly enjoyed it.)


What struck me, is this fellow's words: "Islam is the true religion of God." Fine by me, but I'm imagining there's a few Christians, Jews, and Devil worshippers who beg to differ. And then I got to thinkin'......I sure would like to see all those folks in the same little room together singing to one another and discussing "The true religion of God."  Maybe even a bathroom. Maybe even a rest stop bathroom somewhere along the I-10 in what I like to refer to as the butthole of Texas. (That's probably not very nice, but it's true! You ever driven through Texas on the I-10?....It totally sucks ass!)

Wouldn't that be fun?

So here was my response to the Islamic fellow:

I know Islam is Peaceful brother, what I've done is shot a TV show about the hypocrites in order to make fun of their ignorance. This is not to deny the goodness that people experience in all religions. Not just in Islam by the way. That's the other reason I made this show. Because no religion is a "true religion of God" unless it accepts the religions of all others. Once you become close minded, you are a hypocrite to what God really stands for...LOVE.

And that's how it went down.

McCain: On Bringing Troops Home

In case you were wondering how Senator McCain feels about bringing our troops home, including my loved one,
here's a sample:


The only hope for any possibility of peace in this world is to vote for the other guy. No, it's not time to simply leave it in the hands of the Lord. No, it's not time for Armageddon, apocalypse, second coming, judgement day. People have been thinking that every century for the last two thousand years. It's not a matter of accepting Jesus Christ or spontaneously combusting.

It's a matter of hope and change. And if there is to be any hope of change, people must awaken. Or we can just "stay the course" and passively witness our demise. Holy Roman Empire! Haven't we seen this before? If the United States "stays the course" She will crumble. Maybe not in our life times, but She will crumble if there isn't conscious reformation NOW!

It would be wonderful if humanity could awaken as a whole, and rise to unite as one above fear and hatred. Above segregation of religion and race. But that is idealistic. It won't happen before the earth is destroyed. So what can we do? Choose to live our own lives in bliss, helping those who cross our paths however and whenever we can. And accept whatever fate the universe has in store for us. NO FEAR. NO FEAR! Do not give in to the brainwash of the fear mongers who are the new world order.

God Loves GEORGE CARLIN Best!

I just want to say "Big Up" and "Way To Go" to one of the great thinkers of our time, George Carlin, for a long life, and for contributing some excellent and poignant social commentary about the stupidity of humanity, and for being quite educational. His spirit will definitely stick around.

Mr. Carlin left the earth on Sunday.

Here's one of my favorite excerpts he left behind:

God Loves America Best!

10,000 Youtube Channel Views/40,000 Video Views

Yes, that's right, seven months in the making, fans on Youtube are finally catching on to God Loves ME Best! Trouble is, Youtube seems to be ignoring our channel, failing to give us fair credit in the weekly and monthly "Directors Most Subscribed" Home-Page Listings, which is making me start to wonder about Youtube/Google in general. Are they being operated by right wing Elvis Monkeys? OR...Has Youtube grown so massive, that their system cannot keep up with the number of users? I don't know...I don't have the answers. But hopefully they'll give us credit where credit is due here, sooner than later.

Muhammad Cartoon in Denmark

This is the cold open of the show the way it was intended to be. The scene includes some fantastic previously unseen moments between Michelle Maryk, Sam Rodd and Lawton Paseka. We also catch a reference to the 2006 Muhammad cartoon that caused an Islamic uprising after it was published in a Danish newspaper.

New Iranian Film To Fuel More Fire - Premeditated?

New iranian film about the life of Jesus makes the argument that Jesus was a prophet, no more, no less.  "I pray for Christians. They've been misled. They will realize one day the true story," said the film's director, Nader Talebzadeh.

PERFECT! Now the Christian right has another reason to go to war with Iran. That is totally awesome!  And great....And super...Did I mention great?

Obama The Christian

Barack Obabma is not a jihadi.  Did everyone get that?  Barack Obama is not a Jihadi, repeat, NOT a Jihadi.  That would be amazing if he was though.  Secretly, a closet Jihadi...A president on the rise...He was looking to overtake the white house with Islamic rule, he and Bin Laden would join forces and together they would rule the world!  And America would have a choice...Accept Mohammad as their one and only savior...or strap explosives to themselves and blow up churches across the globe.  There's a great episode of God Loves ME Best! right there. Somebody write that down!

God Loves ME Best censored by Atom Entertainment!

God Loves ME Best episodic trailers are currently being distributed on the Web via Youtube, Blip.tv, Revver, and Myspacetv.  Yesterday we thought we might as well upload to atomfilms.com, one of the oldest film and video content sights on the Web, if not the first.  So I opened an account and uploaded the first in a series of episodic trailers, the following clip:

Click To Play

Several minutes later, after I saw that it had been viewed by Atom Films seven times, I received an email from them stating the following:

Hello MerkabaProductions,

We have found that your clip violates one or more provisions of Section 4 of our Terms of Service, which states that users may not:

“…create a user name or screen name or upload to, distribute through or otherwise publish through the Site any Materials which are indecent, libelous, defamatory, obscene, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, illegal, harassing, contain expressions of hatred, bigotry, racism or pornography, or are otherwise objectionable, or that would constitute or encourage a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party or violate any law.”

Wow! Please watch this video and let me know if you think I have violated section 4! I was amazed. It's comedy! Comedy is often offensive! I wrote back, explained that I thought that it was an error, and sent them links to all my show information so that they could review the nature of the material. A few hours later, not only was this video removed, but my entire account was deleted! DELETED! What? Are you serious? They deleted my account because this video was so horribly offensive. Now, I am very curious as to who runs the show at Atom Entertainment. Are they right wing Christian Fanatics? Are they right wing Orthodox Jews who don't take kindly to religious comedy? Muslims? Who are they?!!! Who are those people who censored my comedy show? I was really quite shocked. But I see it as great news. I got under someone's skin...rubbed them the wrong way...perhaps I scared them....Are they living in fear that featuring a show such as this might create some sort of backlash against their company. Or do they just think we suck? Who knows! But it's pretty funny.

THANK YOU ATOM ENTERTAINMENT FOR ENTERTAINING ME!

Demonic Robots

Yesterday, all I really wanted to say is this:  Politicians are the same no matter where you go, no matter where they are, who they are or how you view them:  DEMONIC ROBOTS PROGRAMMED TO CARRY OUT GLOBAL DESTRUCTION IN THE NAME OF SATAN....Caucuses, primaries, elections, and fundraisers are really nothing more than another illusion for you to immerse yourself into so that you can get further and further away from the truth of existence.  There's a reason the Democratic party has decided that their best chances of taking the oval office from Republicans are an inexperienced young African American Man and a former first lady who is widely detested, loathed, and despised.  Do you think the democrats really have a choice of who they select to represent them?  If they did, wouldn't they select some candidates that stood a better chance of taking the Republicans out? Don't get me wrong. Personally I think this country could use a female president. Females are far less physiologically programmed for destruction than men are...But then again, females are extremely hormonal...A hormonal female in a world crisis...hmmm...something to consider...And I would love to see an African American president...But here's a quick news flash! Presidents are NEVER really in charge! So who will be our next presidential puppet?

Here is the intro to our show!

Who Is God Anyway? (and other stuff)

Although the Web is the future of television, it's not quite the future yet and we will be looking to make the jump to cable television after the WGA strike resolves itself. In the meantime, we want to find as many fans as possible, and generate massive buzz about a very poignant concept. Religion and politics. Both are featured in the news every day.  And now, in the spirit of great comedy, we want to have a little fun with topics that people are willing to kill and die over.  Is it really that serious? I mean come on!@#$%...Who's right about God anyway? Who will be saved and who will burn in hell? Is there such a thing as hell? Any such thing as God? Was Jesus Christ really more than a fully enlightened and realized peaceful weed smoking hippie activist with some idealistic views on humanity, and love, who not only was the world's first surfer (the walking on water incident), but was also crucified for his so-called blasphemy?...Nothing more than a metaphorical explanation for the potential that we all have buried within our souls.  If Jesus were to come back down today, would any of the evangelicals believe him, when he told them he was the Christ?  Certainly they would crucify him all over again. Or maybe they'd just write him off as an insane lunatic, and he'd be homeless, begging for change in the streets. Or maybe...he'd open a bong store in Brooklyn!  So who does God really love best? Merkaba Productions of course!  And we'd like to share our satirical approach to religion and politics.  We also really enjoy making fun of reality television because while it may be lucrative to the "suits,".... It's so gay! (and I don't mean that in a homosexual way, I mean that in a Chicago way...you see, people in Chicago, say everything is gay...you'd have to visit to know what I'm talking about) Not to belittle spiritual and religious people....But to entertain those who understand the insanity of religious extremism and fundamentalism, and to hopefully make the fundamentalists laugh at themselves a little bit. Because they are quite ridiculous. And who do they think God is? A he?  Big Daddy living up in the sky?  Come on!  Is that a sane rational thought?  

God Loves ME Best! Youtube Progress Report

God Loves ME Best! on Youtube: Over the 2,000 mark for channel views, and over 9,000 video views in 90 short days. We’re building our distribution slowly but surely, and finding new fans on a daily basis. By the time the writer’s strike ends, we should have a strong enough fan base to make a move to cable television. That’s the game plan anyway. Regardless of where distribution is, web or cable, you can rest assured that there will be further development of the series and more production in the near future. Thank you and God speeds. - Merkaba

Letterman Rules! (and other stuff)

Hats off to David Letterman’s company World Wide Pants, who have reached an agreement with the Writer’s Guild of America that will put The Late Show back on the air with it’s staff writers intact, while the rest of Big Media continues it’s quest to prevent writers from claiming revenue on new media. For those who don’t know, new media translates to programming streamed and downloaded for viewing on digital technologies...i.e. the internet and mobile phones. Seems the studios don’t feel that writers are entitled to being compensated for shows that they created and wrote that are downloaded onto i-pods and mobile phones and watched on planes, trains, and toilets all over the world. I wonder if the studio and big media conglomerates think that God is on their side on this one? Maybe God Loves them best? I wonder if they’re holding secret ceremonies in caves somewhere in Delaware, worshipping giant owls, dressing in drag...branding themselves with secret markings on the underside of their balls...in unity, and consuming massive portions of human stew. And there’s no doubt President Bush would be there...with his evil smirk...nodding his approval of global economic domination with affectionate stupidity...That would be funny. But not really. Mostly scary. Anyhow, good job David Letterman. God loves YOU best!

Happy God Loves ME Best Year!

Happy New Year by way of the western solar calendar! This is the first blog entry by God Loves ME Best! This election year keeps religion at the forefront of political agendas, and it is becoming more and more evident each day that our comedy series God Loves ME Best! is needed to bring awareness and comedy relief to a topic that has people at WAR all over this planet. RELIGION!!!! The roots of all evil appear to be money and God, the two main ingredients of religion, and also the leading motivators for committing homicide and genocide across the globe. We are not atheists, nor agnostics. We are spiritual beings who have our own definition of God, but do not practice organized religion. We are not here to belittle the spiritual practices of anyone and we are not here to denounce religion.  God Loves ME Best! is not designed to insult the spiritual practices of anyone. But we would like to get to the origin of all this insanity. By insanity, we’re talking about the religious extremists and fundamentalists who are convinced that their individual religions are the only means to salvation. Why do they think their way is the only way? Why do they think it’s righteous to kill over who is right about God, when their prophets teachers, and messiahs preach that love is the only answer to salvation? Why are many religious people intolerant bigots and racists? Was Jesus into weapons? Was Muhammad into mass murder? The state of humanity is bleak when it comes to religion. We respect and admire people who are able to connect to their God and become enlightened through their spiritual practices. But the hypocrites continue to "entertain" us on a daily basis so we would like to shed some light out there somewhere and create some laughter in the process. Thank you for watching and stay tuned.
