Indie Zone: Talking with Dylan Callens, Author of Interpretation

Indie Zone: Talking with Dylan Callens - @TheNitzsch - Author of Interpretation.

Dylan Callens lands cleanly. That would be the headline of a newspaper built with an anagram generator. And although Dylan is a Welsh name meaning god or hero of the sea, he is not particularly fond of large bodies of water. His last name, Callens, might be Gaelic. If it is, his last name means rock. Rocks sink in the sea. Interestingly, he is neither Welsh nor Gaelic, but rather, French and…

Russell's teapot, sometimes called the celestial teapot or cosmic teapot, is an analogy first coined by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) to illustrate that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon a person making scientifically unfalsifiable claims rather than shifting the burden of proof to others, specifically in the case of religion. Russell wrote that if he claims that a teapot orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, it is nonsensical for him to expect others to believe him on the grounds that they cannot prove him wrong. Russell's teapot is still referred to in discussions concerning the existence of God.

Join the Teapotter Movement!

The Church of the Cosmic Teapot is not affiliated in any way with the political Tea Party or any company or franchise. The Church of the Cosmic Teapot is a spiritual movement dedicated to free thought, independence, questions, acceptance, understanding, and drinking tea. Collecting teapots and teapot/tea-themed items is also highly encouraged.

Question everything- science, authority, literature, your family, your society, your culture, your beliefs, and lastly, yourself. To be meek and merely accept all supposed truths can be a dangerous thing. Accept what you believe is true.

Lastly, drink tea. Tea is delicious and very good for you. There are hundreds of varieties of tea, and you're almost guaranteed to find one that suits your fancy.

Hail to the Great Teapot in the Sky!

The Five Pillars of the Church of the Cosmic Teapot

Every religion has its codes, commandments, and principles. However, they are often mixed in with a large, nearly incomprehensible text, that adds more and more guidelines and structure to a religion. The Bible, Qu'ran, and Torah are so vast they are filled with hundreds of contradictions, and give people 'evidence' to pervert the religion.

The Church of the Cosmic Teapot has only these five pillars, which are to be the only necessary guidelines for practicing. If one would like to be officially baptized for legal or personal reasons, all they must do is contact a TeaMaster. The protocol for baptism varies from most other religions, and will be further explained in the future.

Of course, to bond with the Great Teapot in the Sky, all one should do is practice the five following pillars.

1. Live with integrity.

2. Practice liberty, acceptance, and understanding.

3. Ask questions- listen to your head as well as your heart.

4. Honor the Sacred Beverage of the Church of the Cosmic Teapot, Tea.

5. Keep a teapot, as a holy representation of the Great Teapot in the Sky

Strive to follow these pillars, and one should live a fulfilling life indeed.

The Principles of the Church of The Cosmic Teapot

Followers of the Great Teapot in the Sky believe in freedom. Therefore, there are few restrictions imposed or guidelines given as to the behavior and personal beliefs of members. Only the Great Teapot in the Sky knows what is beyond life, and it does not reveal it secrets. Therefore, it seems logical to do what is right to one's self. Integrity is the highest and noblest of virtues, then. If one can live true to one's own principles, then they have lived a good life. 

Obviously, in the collective opinions of the vast majority, some actions are beyond reproach. Murder, rape, torture, and other violent crimes are deemed unforgivable by many. However, although these crimes are in no way condoned by the Church of the Cosmic Teapot, they may be forgiven and understood. It is, however, a personal choice to do so.

An important aspect of the beliefs of the Church of the Cosmic Teapot is free will. Not only does this mean having the liberty to make decisions for one's self, but it means allowing others to do the same. It means not attempting to force others to bend to one's own beliefs. Acceptance, openness, and understanding are important aspects of being a 'good follower' of the Church of the Cosmic Teapot.
