this book is fascinating, but truly makes one feel hopeless even about the church.

Truthy truant in Trinidad makes for better alliteration. I'll go for that, and we can say "Dave's dining in downtown Detroit."

There’s a slow-growing liberal acceptance
Of Obama getting his just comeuppance
We Freepers all knew
He ain’t worth a sou
Or, as Poppins would say, not a twopence

Does “antichristic” mean that we don’t like the Governor of NJ?

This dude needs more than a comeuppance, he needs a solid smack. Too bad they didn't do it at the polls last time around. Beware of giant pic of ugliness at link.
