Seeing what religious people, in the name of God, did to my native land — and in this country, seeing God’s second-hand car salesmen on the cable TV channels, offering indulgences for cash — in fact, all over the world, seeing the self-righteousness roll down like a mighty stream from certain corners of the religious establishment. I must confess, I changed the channel. I wanted my MTV. Even though I was a believer. Perhaps because I was a believer.
