Update on posting progress

I'm working on three new posts and they are taking a lot of time since I have to have great references or Ed will slap me down ;). My history of religion, 'tree of strife', is a big one and taking some time to perfect. I'm also going to post a short (very) story that I wrote at some time soon but I will warn you all ahead of time so you can take appropriate precautions.

On a short takes note - the Grinch is already hard at work this season. The Governor of Washington allowed an atheist group to put up a sign in the Capitol in response to the numerous other Christmas icons that were everywhere else. The Grinch was ranting up a storm as he prepares once again to create a tempest in a teapot about the alleged war on Christmas.

Apparently, that sign was stolen and found in a ditch. Praise Jeebus. The sign was apparently 50 lbs, too, so they put in a lot of effort to remove the message.

For God's sake (pun intended), why do believrs need to post or put up religious displays on public, tax finded properties? Needless to say, my question is largely rhetorical. Even the Bible does not demand this behavior of them. In fact, it says: "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's...."
As a side note: The Aramaic of the original rendering of this statement in the New Testament can be equally well translated as " Do not deprive Caesar..."

Okay, I have one eye closed, shoulders 'up', tongue out(habit of cringers?), finger on 'the button'...

... GO!

Interestingly enough, I'm writing a full-size sci-fi novel, too. I was hoping to use some of the arguments put forth on the DD blogs as some of the dialogue between the two main characters.

BTW, Pliny, I'm not as nit-picky as all that. I just thought that for the S'Noah ball argument, you were giving away too much water by accidentally omitting the coefficient. And me being a bit of a math geek to begin with, well, I just couldn't resist.

Ed - no worries - I actually appreciate any and all good help I can get as it's all in good fun. Plus there's already a universe of crap out here in the blogosphere so keeping it honest is a rare thing. If I screw up then let me know.

What's the subject of the novel? promise not to try and steal it ;:

Unrequited lust with a dash of sweet revenge. I don't want to say too much, but when I finish, I'll be sure to say thanks to you in the credits.
