Heretics Unite !

- James Howard Kunstler -

This site keeps Kunstler because we love to hate what he writes- well most of us, anyway.

First of all he 's got his history wrong. Pope John XXIII was one of the most beloved, Christ-like Popes ever-- and a 20th Century Pope, by the way., not 15th as our learned scribe scribes.

Many of James' core beliefs are based on bad science and bad philosophy/theology. Global warming, peak oil, Malthusian hand-wringing, secular humanism and Marxism are just a few of his misprogramming problems. That would leave anyone disoriented and depressed. As he gets closer and closer to meeting the Grim Reaper, he becomes increasingly more anxious. Not so for those who have prepared, who go with equanimity.

It is true that the Church went down the wrong path, as almost any human institution can do. It seems to have made a good comeback, even considering the "NASCAR Evangelical" set which James soooo deplores. I'll settle for them over James' brand any day of the week-- and twice on the Sabbath.

Even if we have another dark age, it won't be as dark or long this time, because knowledge has become more widely dispersed, so it will be far harder to extinguish the lights this time. Of course the exception could be a life-threatening major nuclear war or unstoppable pandemic.
