The story of religion in a nutshell.

…and the good book spake, GET YOUR CLOTHES ON.

On the 7th day, Big Bird created Bert & Ernie…

;o)

Dang! Another conspiracy theory!

A Sola Scriptura reading of TV Guide.

And on the seventh day, he nested.

That’s just great. Another Joseph Smith or Sun Myung Moon scam at best or worst a Jim Jones massacre in the making. Well, at least the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has never tried to scam or harm anyone.

You had me at fruit pies.

And faith, you gotta have faith and don’t ask any questions.

The Ukrainians must be happy, now that trump has resolved the conflict. A few words from the grate man and all is well.

And you know it was a Hostess apple pie.

Will Pilsner reject it when someone tells him that Big Bird and Oscar were one and the same performer?

That carton of half and half is just BEGGING to get knocked on the floor.

Jim Henson needs to be in this somewhere.

And God said:”Let there be light!” and there was the Electric Company. And God saw that it was good.

It’s the Gordon and Susan puppets that freak me out. They’re too life-like.

Do they have Sunday School in cults? :)

why is an apple always mentioned? if I was Eve I’d pick the banana

If you go into the NYC Library main entrance, the one behind the statues of the two reclining felines, would you be reading between the lions?

Fake news. Abby Cadabby didn’t show up until season 37. I can’t recall any female muppets in the early years…might have been some, but they didn’t stick in my mind. I think Miss Piggy appeared with the Muppet Show in the mid seventies, after Sesame Street was well-established…

I love Pilsner!

That’s back when Hostess fruit pies tasted good. Then they removed the animal fat from the crust. Lard is what gave them flavor.

How does Mr. Snuffleupagus fit in?

Actually, I once participated in the creation of a religion—it started as a gag, eventually morphed into something with thousands (at least) of followers. Check out The Reformed Druids of North America in Wikipedia, or a recent article in The Guardian. (I am First Apostate.)
