Ah, i just meant the tone, & maybe what Robin & others pointed to, that
anger at anyone not 'onside'.
I'll shut up now, as I may have been misreading the messages above which
you posted originally.
But thanks for the Whitman...
there's this fantasy novel about a Pictish warrior who ends up fighting
against the Israelites & with her goddess actually talks back to Jehovah.
But the interesting, or neatly done bit, is when, with her ability to see
the soul-life of a person, she sees the future of jerusalem -- nothing but
bloody battles till the end of time...death death death...
