0:30 Joe intones fragments of various Christian prayers and psalms, ending with the portentous declaration "Deus Ex Machina". | |||
4:00 A fellow with an East European accent ([[Tim Jerome]]) recounts | |||
running a church in his home country. It had all sorts of social | |||
programs, but when it introduced real religion it was converted to a | |||
public bath and mining camp and he was made a janitor in a factory. | |||
5:40: He ran away by jumping onto a truck. When it came near | |||
a river, he jumped out, swam to a freighter, ended up on a banana boat | |||
to Indonesia. The ship got lost, ended up in England. From there he | |||
got work on a dirigible, flew to Indiana. From there he skateboarded | |||
to Kentucky, spent 3 days riding around on an amusement park train. | |||
Then he rode a motorbike to Salinas, Oklahoma, got a job at a church, | |||
became pastor, but left. When Joe asked why, he said it was in | |||
litigation, his lawyers told him not to talk about it. | |||
10:00 'The spirit cannot fail' (Bill Nelson) | |||
12:40: Joe tells a nonsense history of how churches were built, that stained glass was invented by spilling wine on glass. | |||
17:00: Then he explains the invention of tools from stones and animal | |||
teeth. | |||
18:40: Joe says that Notre Dame | |||
was built only after Victor Hugo's famous novel set there, then a | |||
bogus account of the building of the cathedral at Chartres. Then he | |||
launches into an extravagant account of Leopold I of Sardinia building | |||
a massive cathedral at Boganville (sp?) beginning in 1215. When it | |||
was finally complete, in 1815, it collapsed. | |||
24:30: A woman ([[Tess Steincolk]]) tells about her mother getting mad | |||
at her and her younger sister, telling them she was going to sell them | |||
to the Gypsies. The mother kept this up long enough that they were in | |||
tears at the gas station, when she told them they were going to visit | |||
their Aunt Margaret, which they did every summer.<ref name=woman>re-used in [[Woman And Bull In Paint Factory]]</ref> | |||
31:50 'The spirit cannot fail' (Bill Nelson) | |||
33:30: A guy ([[Eric Sears]], uncredited?) recounts his bad behavior when he was young: mooching off | |||
his friends, stealing from them, driving over a bag lady, stabbing a | |||
guy in a restaurant so he could use the pay phone first, setting 3 or | |||
4 nurses on fire. Then he wandered into a church, was uplifted, | |||
wanted to build one. | |||
38:30: Hymn 'Let Heavenly Music Fill This Place' | |||
40:30: Joe explains the use of candles as an outgrowth of earlier tribes worshipping fire. | |||
41:30: Joe describes the use of bells on ships and in churches. | |||
44:50: A guy explains that the burning of | |||
[[Wikipedia:Giordano_Bruno|Giordano Bruno]] | |||
was a cooking accident. Then he goes on to say that the apostles fell | |||
into the water when they tried to follow Jesus, and gives a nonsense | |||
discourse on the Enlightenment, Moses and the 10 commandments, the | |||
conversion of churches into secular buildings and other things | |||
(sunglasses, Tupperware, Tiffany lamps...) | |||
50:50: Hymn 'The Eyes Of All Wait Upon Thee' | |||
53:40: Joe recapitulates the introduction in humbler tone. | |||

A minister is imprisoned, escapes using every imaginable transportation. Sounds of construction. The history of church building, windows, clock bells and time-keeping on ships by counting slowly, the history of tools, screws v/s nails, Notre Dam was built based on Hugo's description in NDDP. The cathedral of Chartres was originally a tiny church. A cathedral was built by slaves collapsed 600 years later and plunges the land into chaos. A woman talks about her mother pretending to sell her to gypsies. "This spirit cannot fail you" preacher. Mutilating oneself in church. Becoming the leader of a sect, an orgy in a tent, instructions for making offerings. The nature of love. A man takes advantage of everyone, kills people, experiences a conversion. Sounds of church building. The recycling of churches as secular buildings and consumer goods. | A minister is imprisoned, escapes using every imaginable transportation. Sounds of construction.
