Sounds a bit contradictory in today's world, but that's the fact. On Mike Malloy's show tonight on AirAmerica Radio, he interviewed Marc Perkel, the First One (I kid you not) of the Church of Reality, a church/religion based upon reality. Stop over to his web site for their dogmatic pronouncements. No, it is not a joke or a parody like the Landover Baptist Church. It is for real, no pun intended.
The Church of Reality is a religion based on the practice of Realism, believing in everything that is real. Our motto is, "If it's real, we believe in it." Since no one knows all of reality, the Church of Reality is about the pursuit of reality the way it really is. We commit to being intellectually honest with ourselves and with others so that we can cut through the mythology. We want to know about the way things really are in the real world.Also, note the new category of As Heard On which I will use to file items of interest heard on my favorite radio (you know, the box with knobs and no screen) talk shows.
