Neener, neener.
I might add:
Jesus wept.
I will also add that somewhere very early in my life I deeply internalized that the certainty that one is among the saved is the purest expression of pride and as such a sure sign that one is forsaken. So deeply is this ingrained that I have an almost sub-neural reaction to the hubris of the evangelicals and I can't help but think that there really is a hell, and they're the only people going to it.

After the murder of Robert F. Kennedy, John Updike reflected that God might have removed his blessing on America. After reading about Bush's activities on Memorial Day, the Cheney Family in politics and the Vice-President dismissing charges of abuse at Guantanamo Bay this morning, it occurs to me that regardless of what God might have taken away or taken away, we have sold our birthright for a mess of pottage.
And after that transaction comes the Stone Kiss, according to Faye Kellerman.
