...star - if that's the word we want - is a large, cheerful woman named Becky Fisher, who runs the "Kids on Fire" evangelical religious camp every summer at Devil's Lake, North Dakota, without, as the cameras are concerned, acknowledging the irony implicit in the location's name.

The risk he sees implicit in this concept of the divine is that the irrationality of violence might thereby appear to be justified to someone who believes it is God's will.
