[net.religion] To my buffo buddy Ken Perlow.

Ken, you are a complete turtle brain.  You know nothing about Christian dogma
or Mr. Calvin.

The entire range of your knowledge seems to be slogans and "pop" ideas
you read on the subway walls.

In spite of all that I still like you.  I used to have a pet turtle.

But he died.

Try chargin'

It's hard to counter insightful logic like that.  I guess I'll have
to find solace in the notion that I fit higher in Rev. Arndt's
definitive taxonomy than poor Andy Banta, who was pronounced to have
only a horse turd for a brain.

Poor Arndt, I get him so riled up.  It turns out I do know something
about John Calvin, and would enjoy discussing the effects of his
soteriology on the rebellions of the Huguenots and of course, Oliver
Cromwell.  There are clear analogies to current events.  You know,
a *real discussion about religion!*  My knowledge is obviously
superficial, but I find it important as a Renaissance musician to
understand the passion within the polyphony.  So do tell, Ken.  But,
uh, play with the turtle by yourself, like a good boy.

He died?  For your sins?  How do you know it was a *he*?
Better cut out the animal husbandry--one of these days they'll
catch you at it.
