"...It is simple to compare the meaning of the word with a specific piece of writing and to determine whether or not that writing fits the definition of 'satire'..."

Well, simple it may be, but you have failed that task miserably. - Perhaps the reason is that you you were so focused on the 'Christian conversion' that you lost track of the fact that we have never been known for 'killing their leaders.'

Thank you!! Angelo seems to operate best by talking out of both sides of his mouth! Notice how he scampered off when confronted with his lack of evidence and non-existent writing skills? LOL!! Poor angelo. There are many "wannabe" writers out there who just don't have what it takes. Given his obsessive interest in the craft of writing, I would venture a guess that he is in that category. One can study writing until the cows come home, but if it is not an inborn skill, then the best one can hope for is a cheap imitation of writing talent. I've seen it oh-so-many times. In fact, I have had to edit their work. My first experience in the worldwide publishing business was with Thomas Nelson Publishers, here in Nashville. I was a copy editor. I had the privilege of editing pieces submitted by the clergy; most of them had wonderful content, but they needed editing and a lot of "punching up."

angelo's "personal style" seems to be, "if you can't beat 'em, make fun of 'em." How junior high of him!! ROFL! I feel sorry for the chap. Perhaps his "entrepreneurship" gives him the satisfaction he so desperately craves. I certainly hope so. ;-}

Merely asserting this does not make it true. You think it is satire? Prove your point.
