Lane,
I enjoyed this article of yours. You've obviously given this topic a great deal of thought - and although it's fiction, you clearly know quite a bit about Christian fundamentalism.
By-the-way, I just wanted to say 'thank you' for choosing to follow me. I have reciprocated.
Having read your article, the one point that stands out for me is your placing the word 'fiction' in the title. How much more fun would this read be if the reader was not immediately aware, but had to work-it-out for him/herself! Maybe you could edit it out.
Some years ago I heard the essence of your story given by a best-man at a wedding in his speech to the newly-weds. It was brief - but 'to-the-point'!
I hope that both of us can continue to write about things that interest; inspire; and bring a touch of happiness into the lives of our readers.
Kind regards,
Fred
