I don't smash Christianity -- postmodernist literature smashes religion,
ideology, belief, history, science: everything that makes you bow down, pray
and offer sacrifices to. Everything that tells that it's the only truth &
all the others are false prophets (which, of course, is true, but slightly
different).
