oh yeah, if you want real crazies give them a holy book to interpret in
their own way...
BOTL; sheesh; one of those 'take the bits you want' books to justify
behaviour? (which may have been one of ACs intentions) and in other ways
strikingly lovely religious writing
possibly something that hits on an individual level and so is outside much
debate (as again AC may have wanted)
i've read various of the 'this is what it really means' commentaries, and
none of them convince me
and academicaly there is the possibility that it was written a week earlier
than claimed.... starting on April 1st...
