about

This is one of those sacrilegious things in which Walls Of Genius has always indulged. In this case, it expresses my dissatisfaction with the religious tradition that I grew up with, if only partly. As a secular Jew with an atheist mother, I didn't have the Torah (Bible) hammered into me relentlessly. In the long run, I could never warm up to prayers that included the phrase, "I am the Lord Thy God and thou shalt have no other". As a boy, I was sent off every week to Sunday School, but brought my transistor radio so I could tune in to the Church Of The Top-40 (thank you Kasey Kasum). In any case, tidbits of a Hitler speech, explosions, armies marching and Charles Coughlin's preaching illustrate what can happen when a little too much smiting goes on.
