I have been feeling the love from lib’rals these last few days. Wow, here I was thinking they were a bunch of nice mellow-feeling hippies, and it takes a neo-con “going to be with the Lord” to spark so much pent-up hatred. I didn’t shed a tear either, but jesus… makes me wonder.

A few good things Abraham did give us: the 10 commandments, gotta love a round number; 2 sons who are still going at each other 4000 years later, which takes it for the longest family dispute in all of history; a sense of community, because we’d probably still be a bunch of cavemen had we not started working at praying together for some cause.

He also pioneered the concept that people are just as easily herded as cattle. Still applies today.
