What?  Are we living on the same planet?  Every *entertainer*
that I cited makes his living *precisely* from pandering to
the perverted values of "atheists" (with the exception of the
Harvard student body -- but they're learning the tricks of the
trade!).  Not only that, but they make a much *heftier* living
at it than most preachers (a modern vagary which, I trust, will
be reversed).

Could it be that we have here yet another wonderful example of 
not only *absurdity*, but *hypocrisy* as well?

I thought I was poor because I had no ocean condominium.
Then I met a man who had no conscience.
