| #3 OK, you guys are right. See response on the Schizophrenia article. Islam is a trip. What surprised me most after a few years is that I stopped noticing just how screwed up it is. I know that the human creature would go insane without the habituation effect (consider The Princess and The Pea), but it means that the litany I could recite is only the highest peaks - those that broke through the "this is normal" level of insanity and truly surprised me. I wish some other Rantbugers who lived there would chime in with their experiences. BTW, I have an electronic edition of a book written by a guy who was there for about 40 years - and I might put it up on one of my sites for everyone to see, but he had the same problem. Only the really totally wacked-out stuff is in the book - either he ignored a lot or the book would've been 10,000 pages had he told it all. |
