Quick reread

I do notice that Marion's passage from Haggai (a bibilical book I've never heard of; not that I'm a biblical scholar at all) perfectly encapsulates the insanity of the alleged god: "I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD." (King James). Wow. Ya think?
