i just find the jesus talk curious. considering the jewish influence, and
the zen influence, i find it interesting that jd can write a story that
ends so astoundingly of a christian note.
i always confues the terms atheist and agnostic... which is the one that
believes in nothing, and which i the one that just can't decide? i'm on the
undecided side, and i like f&z very much becuase it *explains* christianity
very well.*especially* the part about franny confusing jesus with fracis of
assisi (far too many christians do this, particularly catholics).
i like the way it has a nice neat ending which, although mentioning jesus,
doesn't reek of piousness (piety?). as far as i recall, s:ai ends
similarly? the part i'm thinking of is the comment buddy makes about all
his irritating writing students being his sisters...
(three paragraphs beginning with 'i'? somebody shoot me!)
