Most "Christian" fiction, unfortunately, is mere banner       waving and "Hoo-ray for our side", of no more literary or religious       worth (and sometimes less) than the 1970s licensed "Christian Archie"       comics.              --       John W Kennedy       "Sweet, was Christ crucified to create this chat?"        -- Charles Williams.
