Welcome to all who have come over because of my article refuting George’s take on the myth of the whore of Babylon. Make yourself comfortable and help yourself to something cold from the fridge.

I wanted to let y’all who are commenting know something: if you leave me a long comment, it will automatically go to moderation because it’s one of WordPress’ settings for spam. I think it exists to filter out long posts with tons of links. However, it means that I am not going to see your comment until the next time I happen to open WordPress or the next time I check my email. So… if you’ve commented and aren’t seeing it, be patient. I haven’t deleted it — it’s just waiting for me to approve it.

I do need to respond to some of the comments but I haven’t had time — I was gone over the weekend and right now, I’m trying everything I can to manage the stabbing pain in my right calf until I can get myself to my massage therapist to have her work on it. (I woke up on Friday with what I thought was a pulled muscle. It is not, however, responding to anything conventional.)

That is all.
