Much like Israel-versus-the-world....<br /><br />I believe there will be general war soon. The coinky-dink of ISIS, Russia, Oil, & American Sniper are too obvious. And draft legislation is waiting in committee for the spirit of general blood-lust to take its majority, since 2001. <br /><br />Satan plays a zero-sum game, doesn't he/it??Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593195823514805943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078157424531850345.post-40203266208110019182015-01-08T06:01:57.311-08:002015-01-08T06:01:57.311-08:00I can't remember if this came out of your book...I can't remember if this came out of your book reading list or not, but I just finished "Between Jesus & The Market", by Linda Kintz. Written in 1997, it is nonetheless frighteningly current on the broken-ness and awful twisted-ness of the American civic religion.

They put down their daughter for being overweight, for not getting married to a man with money (did I mention they have investments?), and of course not going to the "right" church, regularly. In fact, she rarely goes at all, but practices love anyway, while they watch church on TV, and they are how they are. <br /><br />The devil loves hypocritical class war, too, not just the shootin' kind.<br /><br />Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593195823514805943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078157424531850345.post-52906230446669325422014-12-23T05:18:23.723-08:002014-12-23T05:18:23.723-08:00It goes from micro to macro.
