Yes, it always surprises me that Christians are much more likely to cite the laws of Moses than they are to bring up the Beatitudes. It's astonishing since they are the largest block of Christ's words.

Thanks--that was interesting. Woke me up on a sleepy morning. I've never talked to Jay in person. Now I want to.

Well, the fundies are, anyway, which seems to be true for fundies of all religions. I've always loved the Beatitudes, and yes, part of that is because they're mostly transcriptions: Historical documents, as the Thermians might say.

He's great, and a real sweet guy. Goes to lots of cons, so it shouldn't be difficult to meet him!
