For some reason, my small brain remains blown out by Christians getting so out of joint and going to war over what happens during the Eucharist. Greek philosophy really did a number on a lot of people! To the point of distraction! My Reformation Europe class was fun.

This also reminds me that Michael Chabon’s The Yiddish Policemen’s Union hits at the heart of a certain branch (maybe branches) of American Christianity in the most fascinating way.
Christian eschatology (especially American) is wild. WILD. And it really does affect so much of modern history!

I know this from a Christian denomination because it’s extremely important to both to the Old Testament peoples and therefore is important to the New Testament peoples and it’s wild that no one in the churches ever really talks about it!

There truly is nothing about all of this I don’t love (my gosh, that Shermy dance; is that 5 doing a Beatnik thing?), but Linus’s dance that includes the blanket is magnificent.

“The best thing politically I like about the mystery genre is that if you write a book about a Chicano farm worker in central California and his trials and tribulations, the only people who read it are people who are that or who are interested in that world.”
