But this is what we’ve always wanted as a fundamentalist Christian nation: some hardcore eye-for-an-eye shit you can take the kids to. Put it on TV. The line between entertainment and real death is long gone. “Here. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here is 56 channels of it.”

    Yeah, the Sermon on the Mount stuff sounds pretty great. Or Thomas Jefferson's bible. Or just being a red-letter Christian.

    It'd be great if all the other stuff was left by the wayside, but it's still there, lying in wait...
