America's fascination with the apocalypse

[Rich Clavey]

I love reading Alices posts. However, if she was half as clever in her language methinks she would be twice as coherent... But maybe that is just my failure in understanding which come to think of it is thrice as likely.

Sounds like somebody forgot to take their medication.

Profane would appreciate the tale of the two virgins who refuse to

have their names changed to stampers in the anderson tale. Yup, the

bible is a sacred text; the new testament is like the other major

sacred texts of the so-called great religions, and is therefore, a

work that should never be confused with good journalism. That

westerners, who are christian to the core, be they atheists or

whatever, continue to pat themselves on the beack for their porgresive

rejection of all things christian, sacred and profane, and not in some

monty pyhthon satirical sens-up, exposes their lack of sincerity on

issues of religion, ethnicity, race, and so on. One would hope that

folks might have a sense of humor about this, but no; some anger or

fear or whatever taints the satire. maybe, as edgar says in Lear, it

is but an evasion of whoremasters.
