Got a l'il weepy the last few nights singing: "Foresaken, almost human, He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone"... So there... I've got a decent Christian component (along with loads of other notions) floating around in the ole psyche. I fact, I'll take dollops of my old-time religion from the Theology of Liberation/Paolo Freire variety.

I live among many militant Creationists. I used to try to ignore them until they started to directly impact world affairs via the a$$hole from Crawford, TX.   Going forward I intend to take any and every opportunity (via public internet forums, street corner/doorstep/backfence conversations, whatever) to highlight the American Christian Right's strident and oppressive ignorance. We've got 'em on the run - no time to rest now.

(Don't fret mother, I promise I'll try to get to Mass tomorrow morn...)
