A music reference, by way of a true crime book. I don't think you want to know the rest.

I'm not accusing you of anything. I don't remember that you have made any comment on the Israel/Hamas situation. However, it remains a fact that our accepting and supportive policy towards Israel's actions in Gaza is driven more by Christian Zionists and their lurid Dispensationalist end-times fantasies than by American Jewry.

Instead of quoting the lyrics that fed the insanity, I'll quote some that references it after the fact:Lol.Fair enough. However, if the book of Revelation just happens to, in some significant way, be true, I would think most sane people would want to "know the rest."
Instead of quoting the lyrics that fed the insanity, I'll quote some that references it after the fact:
I got the revolution blues, I see bloody fountains
And ten million dune buggies comin' down the mountains
Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars
But I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars
Reading about the "interpretation" of Revelation that lead to the events referenced in those lyrics did not want me to "know the rest" or take it seriously.
I didn't listen to much as a child, but I've been trying to make up for it for the last 1/3 century.I love Neil Young---he was a childhood radio staple.
I find Manson and his cult fascinating, but I am hardly a 'fan'.But, there's a reason I'm anti-Revolutionary myself, and in all that I could ever say here on CF, it should be hyper-clear that I could never be a 'Manson fan.'
I'm not sure what my academic training is supposed to make of an apocalyptic religious text, or any text, religious or not. (I did have a lit class in college, but that was a long time ago.) As a matter of education I have a B.S. from the liberal arts college. The same degree that the CS students and pre-med students were taking. My studies beyond that put aside such fuzzy things to consider the nature of physical reality.The book of Revelation also isn't similar to his thought in any respect, so implying that it is without academic discernment is a little disconcerting to me when I see someone intelligent such as yourself imply there is any sort of insinuated similarity.
Enjoy that. I know I do.I didn't listen to much as a child, but I've been trying to make up for it for the last 1/3 century.
I kind of figured you weren't a fan. I'd be shocked if anyone said they were................................I find Manson and his cult fascinating, but I am hardly a 'fan'.
That's impressive, but sometime in the future, maybe Jesus will become more relevant for you, without having to set any Physics aside.I'm not sure what my academic training is supposed to make of an apocalyptic religious text, or any text, religious or not.

As for the text, I have been aware of many things derived from or inspired by it and I am just not captivated by the sort of story they tell. Manson's version doesn't seem that more wild than others I have become aware of. As such, the actual text has no interest and certainly no appeal to me.
If they found him in his tomb the archeology would be quite interesting. Until then he is just another ancient religious figure and physics or not I have need for them.Enjoy that. I know I do.

I didn't say I found him impressive. He was a nut job. The way people could fall for his insanity was fascinating. I have had a passing interest in cults since then.Manson doesn't impress me.
