Jesus Jo

By Marc DeGirolami

Seen at a Starbuck's this morning: a brand-new "Christmas Blend" right alongside a "Holiday Blend."  The Christmas Blend bag was decorated with the right sort of colors and symbols, while the Holiday Blend had a pleasantly neutral white background accented by some nice pagan naturalistic [alteration in the interests of modest critical unity] themes -- très 'winter solstice.'

Differences in ingredients?  I did not stop to look, but if you enjoy essence of Holy Ghost, I might avoid the atheist bag.

What happens when you draw a Venn diagram of "paganism" and "atheism?"

In any case, folks in the study of religions attempt to avoid using the appellation "pagan" for good reasons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paganism.

I'm no less intrigued by "essence of Holy Spirit," wondering if it's at all akin to the soma* of Vedic brahmins ('priests,' strictly: brāhmana(s)).

*Not to be confused with the pharmaceutical drug that is a muscle relaxant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma
