I was born in 1949, short thoughts

the doomsday preacher has a blog now!

back in my day the doomsday preacher with a picket sign saying REPENT THE END IS NEAR stood on the street corner yelling his ideas. why has that changed? why do I have to read his ramblings on a blog post now? yes, maybe he will reach a bigger audience this way (though how his one blip in cyberspace would actually be found, I don’t know. A man yelling on a street corner with a visual aid is hard to ignore, but a blog, on the other hand, is very easy to never come across). but I want that visceral reaction I feel when I see a man thumping his fist on a bible telling people that Jesus saves us from hell.

goddammit this newfangled technology!
