A hard-right Christian punched my lights out while I was preaching about Peace. But evil is dynamic. It moves. Evil flows in a river of happenstance and purpose and pain and laughter. Fearful fascists can be looked in the eye and appealed to. The Devil can change his mind.

Look, I have Evil in my life like everybody else. In this episode of Earth Riot, the 102nd weekly broadcast of this show, I tell the story of preaching against violence until I was cold-cocked by Christ. I came to the Holland, Michigan jail. My attacker knew the cops. But everyone is lost in a civil war these days, right? Violence is everywhere. Just remember, every frozen fundamentalist wants to start laughing.
