and oh, ya

Speaking of tyranical ideologues, there's David Attenburough and John Updike.

Neither do I view as tyranical or ideological. I wouldn't know if they are.

I think it's John Updyke who just died. Apparently, Norman Mailer, another well known American author I haven't read, haven't read Updyke either, said that Updyke is a writer for readers who don't know anything about writing. Christ. That'd make me buy and read Updyke and never buy or read Mailor. Or talk nice about him.

I read that Christian fundamentalists send Attenburough hate mail saing things like, 'I hope you burn in Hell, and good riddance to you.' How the hell can they call themselves Christians? See what pure ideology does to people? Every soul, including Hitler and Sadam, lost to God is a tragegy. All Christians should feel pain at the loss. All Christians are commanded to love their enemies. Christians make themselves the enemy of God with this kind of shit. God says to believe and follow me or not. It's your choice. I'm always here for you. You decide. Christians are the biggest idiots on the planet. Along with other ideological religious cretins and PETA. Or anybody I don't like.
