  Really? She sounds like a pompous ass writing with a religious agenda to her questionable accounting of history in a cheezy gothic romance format.

     Well, the guy does walk on water. And the last word in the book is 'Revelation'.  So, it's a fair interpretation.  As to gothic romance, Hawthorne wrote those too. He was pretty good.

  What Jim Copeland needs to address is his abject fear of death.

     I'm not sure anyone's fear of death is abject; seems pretty sensible to me. Whatever you believe about after death, death itself is not something devoutly to be wished. Now maybe Jim has an abject fear of gothic romance. That seems possible. You should check out his web page though.
     
     I like having the last word on everything.

           High praise, but I suspect you will outlive me.  It's that healthy desert air vs this damp DC swamp gas.
           
           But if I think of anything in the meantime, I'll let you know.

              Ehhh, i don't know, dad bequeathed me his great big brain, but also his inability to deal with it without nicotine. I've got his attraction to booze under control but work on the cigarettes is tough.
              Here's a snippet you could put in something. When dad was in the hospital dying, a Doc came over and asked him, "Ah, Mr. Copeland, would you like me to call a priest or minister?"
              He summonded strength and growled, "HELLL NO!"
              As for the desert air, you have any idea how much microbeal action is hiding, static for centuries out there? Creepy.

     "Far better to swallow fables, fictions, myths, or fairy tales than to see reality in all its naked cruelty, forcing him to accept the obvious tragedy of existence. Homo sapiens ward off death by abolishing it. To avoid solving the problem, he wishes it away. Only mortals have to worry about death's inevitability. The naive and foolish believer knows that he is immortal, that he will survive the carnage of Judgement Day." M. Onfray 'Atheist Manifesto'
     I find it one of lifes little comedies that we who face death honestly are accused of fearing it by the aforementioned fantisizers.

  I have no agenda, but only long for my Friend to be known. Then Darkness would be cancelled and the world a happier place in which we might all thrive.

     Here's what I think. The choice isn't Believe or Not. It's Believe or Believe in Not.  Either way it's belief.
     
     I'll just wait until I know one way or the other. Okay, I'm holding my breath,,,

     Seems like your friend had his shot up to and including those lovely dark ages and all the cruelty in his name, overthrown by the enlightenment driven by increasing prevalence of science and secularism. The Church, while having lost much political power still has enough financial power to put on a lovey-dovey face.
     Now the friends of Mohammed are having another turn with the point of the sword. So it goes...
