"Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?"

Father Divine

Preacher, Cult Leader, Civil-Rights Activist, PMA...

I don't think I can even begin writing a proper blog for this man. I'm 2 days into researching and I'm still finding new fascinating information and videos every time I search his name.

I'll get back to this at some point in time, but I think Flava Flav might be a reincarnation of Father Divine...

Here's some interesting tidbits

• A letter once came through the US Post Office, addressed to "God, Harlem, USA" which was promptly delivered to Father Divine.
  

• Father Divine wasn't born. He actually had ‘combusted’ one day in 1900 at the corner of 7th Avenue and 134th Street in Harlem.

• He ended all of his letters with - "Sincerely wishing that you and those with whom you are concerned might be even as I AM for I AM well, healthy, joyful, peaceful, lively, loving, successful, prosperous and happy in spirit, body and mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone and even in every atom, fibre and cell of MY bodily form.---FATHER DIVINE

I also spun off to find out about denomination of US currency I never knew existed... like the $500 bill.
