Holy Monday Mornin'

It's interesting to note that "unholy" doesn't just describe a lack of holiness, but actually indicates a demonic or Abrahamically Evil nature. There's no middle ground, here; you're either with Yahweh or you're against Him (and babies and puppy dogs and all things beautiful and innocent). How does one indicate neutrality of sanctity?  Blessing-ambiguity? Can our puritan knee-clapping heritage even handle that concept? Maybe this is why "atheist" (or "agnostic," for that matter) is instantly translated to "amoral" 'round these parts.

  1. Agnostic and amoral are what you want them to be. There is no right or wrong here. Hillbillies see it as amoral and atheist see it as who knows. Get off the pulpit and live!
