Yes, it is crap writing...but it's true to life, at least that portion involving evil tyrants. I won't swear I haven't actually read this in a news story. Heck, I think Baghdad Bob may have actually said it.

So you're saying that this is sort of like Saddam's declaration, "How can I urinate when my people are in bondage?"

I can understand people's enjoying a fictionalization of their personal theological preoccupation, and I read Barbara Cartland romances, so I'm no stranger to bad writing ... but the confluence of the two in these books just doesn't appeal to me.
