I think Mix's discourse looks like it came from the same
place as his newsreader.

The bible is literature -- some of it doggerel, and some of it
rather interesting.  For example, take this bit from Luke 17:

 _ _ _ _ _ _ _
  11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the
midst of Samaria and Galilee.
  12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were
lepers, which stood afar off:
  13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on
us.
  14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the
priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
  15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a
loud voice glorified God,
  16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a
Samaritan.
  17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the
nine?
  18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this
stranger.
  19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
  20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should
come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with
observation:
  21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of
God is within you.
 _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Tom:  Do you believe this to be true?  What does it mean to you?

Full disclosure:  I refer to the bible on occasion, despite not being
"Christian" according to some people.  (I used to say that I am a
"Theodore Parker Christian", but even that made a certain minister
uncomfortable, poor sap.
