As readers know, Catholic Fundamentalists work to make God more relevant by using words from our own, Electronic Age, to describe Him. The old, Iron Age words simply don’t work any more.

He has fish programs swimming through water programs that are caught by human programs with hooks and nets that humans have the ability to re-program from His basic programs.”
