Suppose that John R Rice during his sword of the Lord days accidentally took a couple hits of acid and prophesied wildly about what would happen down the road if women quit wearing their hair in a bun and started wearing slacks like crazy.

Suppose he got really out there and promised us all that the day would soon come

when man would be marrying men and women.

He said that people would begin paying surgeons to cut perfectly good organs off so they could justify wearing a dress,

and that secular man in solemn assembly would pronounce the results to be a surgically altered good.

And the evening and the morning were the weird day.

Suppose he had done that. day.

Suppose he had done that.

The results have refuted his predictions exactly how.

If we added up all the dire predictions that the fundamentalists have made down through the years.

What about them didn't happen?

Fundamentalists are the Cassandra's of American cultural life.

Back when everything seems so stable in its Eisenhowerishness, the fundamentalists would say that everything was soon to be headed for hell in a hand basket.

Ho, ho, ho, was the cogent reply.

Now here we are, bouncing along in the hand basket with some of the more gifted of our

number getting grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities to puke over the side of the

hand basket as we bounce along. This small performance is one I like to call

sea sickness against the absolute. Thank you, thank you. And a fundamentalist in the corner says,

you know, I don't see how you can call that art.

Everybody all together now, ho, ho, ho.
