The old intro to the Twilight Zone talks about moving into a ‘land of shadow and substance’. It seems to me a perfect metaphor for the current state of affairs on the fundamentalist scene.<\/p>\n

What are we to make of all this? Which is the shadow? Which the substance?<\/p>\n

What will the new reality be? Hard to say… you have just entered the Twilight Zone<\/em>.<\/p>\n
