Elvis is God

[Pauliesonne]

I'm pretty sure he is.

Do you?

:cool:

[Ducky]

I thought Clapton was God.

There's evidence of this on a fence in the UK somwehere... (http://www.stratcollector.com/images/news/clapton/god.gif)


Of course I think the dog in that pic disagrees...

But if you must worship Elvis as God, here's your church. (http://www.frankwu.com/elvis1.html)

There's a Church of Elvis in Jack Womack's "Ambient" series of SF novels.

Does Elvis live on? As God Himself? No, I don't think so. As a demigod? Perhaps.

[Mojo]

It's okay that you don't believe in Elvis. He believes in you.

[ynot]

I'm pretty sure he is.

Do you?

Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but . . .Elvis has left the universe.

If Elvis is Everywhere, and so is God, does this really mean Elvis is God?--

[Complexity]

So God is dead.

[Pauliesonne]

So God is dead.

Yep, and he's playing ping-pong with Princess Diana.

Jimmy Hendrix is refereeing.

[Z]

God is Dead, and no one cares.

The real question here is whether Michael J. Fox is really the anti-Elvis.

I've got two remarks about Elvis-as-deity.

You probably already know about this, but in the second season of Penn & Teller's BS, there's an episode entitled "The Bible". In that episode they make good points about Christian argments over doctrine, using the "Elvis fried chicken" controversy. It turns out that there are not one, but (at least) two Elvis cookbooks. They disagree about whether Elvis's favorite fried chicken recipe included paprika.... "Elvis, didn't do no drugs."

Secondly, I want to tell you about Spider Robinson's scifi novel, _Lifehouse_. The book makes interesting use of the Elvis-as-deity idea. In the book, a con artist rips off a couple who are science fiction fans by convincing them that he is a time traveler. He leads them to believe that in the future there are two new religions: one based on the worship of Elvis, another based on the worship of the Beatles ("washed in juice of the apple"). He enlists their help to travel to NYC in order to engineer a Beatles reunion.

Mojo Nixon. Nice.

"Elvis needs boats. Elvis needs boats. Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis needs boats."

When I was in college, I decided there is no Elvis. All the Elvis's you have ever seen have just been Elvis-impersonators. Heck, they even have reunions these days.

Like Mojo, I believe that Elvis is everywhere. He's everybody. He's everything. (except Michael J. Fox) Altogether, we make up Elvis. Kind of like Santa Claus.

There was a comic book mini series put out years ago called Rat Bastard, set in a futuristic world where Elvis had replaced god and each new King dressed as, and was adressed as Elvis. The main character was a rat, and there was also a dna tampering, Gattica-esque type plot.

Shades of "Bubba Ho-Tep" :D

Hey I thought I was?

You thought you were Elvis? Stay away from the jelly doughnuts.
