The nature and purpose of this blog continues to change, to mutate, to surprise me. It has veered from the political to the nostalgic, from the egocentric to the abstract.
It is like a scrapbook or a thrift shop. Sometimes it reminds me of performance art. Or a chronicle of a rich and anonymous life.
Apropos of nothing, this came to me while walking in the postdawn drizzle this morning:
If there is an entity known as the Antichrist, it would not be a horned, fire-breathing devil. It would be of a pleasing countenance, clean and lovely, beloved, convincing in and convinced of its righteousness, proclaiming to support and represent the banner of Christ. At the same time, while appearing to be about goodness and light, that same entity in reality, as observable by its actions, would carry out works of corruption and power, of divisiveness and hate, of torture and violence, and of bottomless greed. In other words, if in history there is an entity known as the Antichrist, it would most resemble the Conservative Christian Fundamentalist Republican movement.
Or, might John McCain be the Antichrist? They think so here.
