I once compiled a list of Internet posted meanderings of some odd beyond fundamentalist preacher from some backwater mill somewhere around the South.  His name is Eldon Orr, and the quotations can be found here.

I mention this today because he has emailed me about it, offering that (1) “Howie” took him out of context, (2) Are you Howie?, (3) I still agree with everything posted, (4) This page scared away some undesirible women friends of my wife who almost visited, so thank you for that, (5) I am now a Muslim, and (presumably because he has scary new things to post (6) This page could use some updating, and (7) I have published a book that people can buy.  (Um… Joy?)

When last I checked in, at the same time he was making Hebraic Interpretations of Lord of the Rings, I knew he was well on his way to finding that distinct variety of Islam, bridging his strand of Fundamentalist Christianity to his strand of Islam through strains of, among other aspects, anti-semitism.

I don’t know why I need to point to Mr. Orr or what there is to say about him and where his further studies take him.  A working theory goes that a Hellfire preacher might set himself up on Campus and get shock waves by blasting the Homosexuals as Hell-bound.  Where do you go when you mill about areas that would elect a Jesse Helms, say, and would nod in agreement with that?  You have to go… further.
