13. Creepy creepy creepy.

I’m generally not a fan of superstitious mysticism, but I have studied it in detail in various countries throughout my life.

These people are lost and crazy. Abbot and his murderous minions run a cult based in violent Christianity — the ‘other’ side of the Glory of God crap that has cursed our species since the Old Days. It is neither loving nor kind. Instead, it is primal and insane.

It worships the “Other” — not as a deity, but as a means to power. Hitler was one of many, not unusual in any way except scope. It’s all the same.

These people are not ‘American’ in any way; they clothe themselves in patriotic fervor tinged with ancient brain chemistry, and carry out rituals written into their DNA without thought or reason.

We’ve got a long way to go. I wish some of these ‘Christians’ would wake up and realize how close to the original reptile they are. ‘Fear the Other!’ ‘Cast Out The Unbelieving Of Different Color!’

I’m living in dark scifi. Same old, same old.

My grandmother was a Christian, and a good one — ‘feed the hungry’, and ‘love the children’.

These prehumans in Texas and around the country are all about judging the hungry and making the child fearful.

They don’t fool me. Reptiles.
