The Centre Cannot Hold

So after yesterday’s Blessay, I got to wondering what a chapel designed for the use of agnostics would be like.  Here’s what I came up with:

I don’t doubt that you’ve all encountered what I think of as ‘Cultured Spaces.’ These are spaces that are set aside exclusively for the use of one particular group to the exclusion of all others. You often find them at universities - rooms for women, for queer and transgendered people, for members of [...]

Type: Heaven
Origin: Egyptian mythology
Admission: worthy human souls (see below)

It should be noted that, insofar as determining worthiness is concerned, weighed human hearts against a feather, even the Feather of Ma’at, is a dubious pastime. But for those who have passed this rigourous ordeal - sins, apparently, weigh down a heart, and a sinless heart [...]

Sorry to keep you waiting so long between installments folks - I had to take some time out to write the damn funkspek (at least in point form) so that I could keep my references to it consistent.
Here’s a good-seized chunk of Ducal Line action, and I have another one lined up when I get [...]

“I love you so much,
I wish that there was more of you to touch.”
Yes, this is the same song that Smash Mouth murdered a few years back - Colourfield also did a version at one point, and in fact, the first act to record it was the Four Seasons.  (I just really like having an [...]

“Our house, in the middle of our street”
I don’t know what your street is like, Suggs old man, but I went and stood in the middle of my street the other day, and I was nearly run down several times. The middle of my street is where the cars go - and I’m [...]

No doubt we are all aware of the verb overwhelm (and its back-formation and antonym, underwhelm). But as Bianca Stratford so rightly pointed out (in “10 Things I Hate About You“), there is no such word as whelm.
Until now.

to fail to affect

Type: Other World
Origin: Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride
Admission: unquiet human souls, some animals (likewise unquiet)

The Land of the Dead resembles greatly the Land of the Living, although it is, apparently, both brighter and more cheerful. It appears to be inhabited chiefly by those spirits with unfinished business, although it’s hard to be sure of this, [...]
