Hence Lars-Goren's dilemma: how to work for a presumed good (the liberation of his homeland) while being energetically assisted by the archetype of evil. This problem leads to further questions, most of them posed by Bishop Brask, an unscrupulous and despairing Swedish prelate. Could it be that "every thing's the work of the Devil"? What if "God himself is a Devil's lie"? Is the term might makes right "profoundly true? Suppose that there is in fact no good in the world except that which survives. " How is it possible to act according...
...practices take place at the bars, including handcuffing, whipping or urinating on a masochistic patron. Gay Writer Arthur Bell calls it "consensual grossness." Recalling a visit to the Mine Shaft, he constructs an unconvincing apologia: "What is happening around you smacks of decadence. But not of evil. These places are not hellholes of murder. There are no victors and victims. It is all theater, and these guys are pussycats." Well, not really.

There are any number of nice things I might say in addition. And there are, of course, flaws. Sometimes the singing is a little thin, sometimes a little restrained--you wish they'd let loose more. The recitations do nothing for me, and the chant, "Blessed Are Those Who Struggle," is more thematically important than listenable...
...that I hadn't noticed before. A lifesized cowboy painted on the door pointed his six-shooter straight at me. When we left shortly after, I saw that the hole in his gun formed the mouth of a midget clown painted on the outside. The mouth, contorted into an evil grin, said, "Enter never to leave; go forth never to return...
