I give you a bit of silliness I wrote, lo, these many years ago for The Wittenburg Door<\/em><\/a> (the world\u2019s pretty much only Christian satire magazine). It\u2019s called \u201cParanoia is the Serious Business of Heaven<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n

PS. I\u2019m not much for JFK Conspiracy theories, mostly because I\u2019ve been to Dealey Plaza and seen for myself what a small space it is. No room for second gunman on the grassy knoll without everybody hearing it. And, frankly, any decent marksman could have done with Oswald did. So my big sophisticated theory is that a disaffected bitter twerp with some Marine Corps marksmanship training got up in a tall building and shot the President. End of story. We find it hard to believe that one man could inflict a global tragedy. But that\u2019s because we just don\u2019t realize how much technology is a force multiplier for human pathology as well as human virtue.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
