I write science fiction, mainstream, a little fantasy, along with the technical writing that put food on the table for many years. Once published in Analog, I let fiction languish till Corporate America set me aside. Now, I'm back!

"We really can't blame the Matuszewicz (pronounced Mat-to-sez-vitz) Brothers, Coal & Onions, for turning to the wrong side of the law. Life was pitching just too many greaseballs, spitballs, and sliders, so that when that sweet lob came wafting in their direction, well, we should be able to empathize with the overwhelming appeal of stealing from the rich and giving to their own poor selves, or more specifically, to their own poor mother. Yielding to that temptation was just plain human, and the Matuszewicz Brothers were definitely human.
     "True be told, they came to the Mutters Bank of the West with good intentions and as the result of heroic actions. They ... well, it was Coal got this escapade started, but that's not to say that Onions didn't have his heroic moments; it just wasn't his time when a runaway dump truck came barreling down from Scaretakers Ridge, catching Hanna MacGiffin with her new VW Bug stalled but rolling slowly out onto County Highway 17.

"Perilous times!" How often have we heard such words? Surely, they pre-date writing for they're too human to have waited for history to begin. In the same way that nature preceded artifact, cause precedes the scripture that justifies it. These people want to lord it over those people, so they slap the labels "divine" and "inerrant" on their religious writings to give them an excuse to act the way they wanted to in the first place.

What other purpose does the claim of infallibility serve? Why else would you say that God has spoken directly to your people and that His Word has survived all the human clap-trap that has come between the original Dictation and that 21st-century piece of paper you're reading from?

I grew up going to Protestant churches (usually Disciples of Christ) and still believe that Yeshua ...
