>Protestants reject the "non-Biblical" teachings of the Catholic Church and accept the Bible alone as authoritative
>but they ignore that the Church compiled the Bible in the first place
How do they resolve this contradiction?

what's the essentials to begin with catholicism?
(except the holy bible lol)
preferences on rhetorical and philosophical works like St. Augustine

holy based

Prots, how can you deny the authority of the church, but also believe that the Bible is the word of God when the Bible was compiled by catholic and orthodox bishops.

Being a Protestant makes no sense.

You've got it the other way around. Papists trigger Lutherans.

Isn't King Charles the Martyr the only saint unique to the Church of England? I always thought their claim for his sainthood a bit tenuous, even moreso than the Russian Orthodox Church's claim for Czar Nicholas II's sainthood.

But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, ‘Raca,’ shall be in danger of the council; but whosoever shall say, ‘Thou fool,’ shall be in danger of hell fire.

-Matthew 5:22

You're correct that Mexico's assault on the military-industrial complex is basically an empty gesture, but I think we're confusing terms and historical movements.

In short, Slothrop is the (far from flattering, but also loveable) father of the counterculture, while Mexico is the intelligent but closed-minded (perhaps by the standards of a counterculture type) father of 60s political activism.

I have read the book, and take a great interest in that period of counterculture and protest. I didn't read it the way you did, because I think that the psychedelic/new age/hippies are a separate entity from the very strident and hard-nosed antiwar protesters, to the point that antiwar and social justice activists loudly denounced the hippies as lazy pieces of shit too wound up in their own heads. This is oversimplifying it, but basically the antiwar movement isn't the same as the counterculture/psychedelic/esoteric movement. Antiwar people played the system by its own rules, with force, political posturing and logic, while the counterculture sought to tune in to a higher way of thinking and living, compared to which the war was a footnote.

The "meme mashup" I was referring to are all the references to ancient esoteric systems and archetypes that would have been tiresomely prevalent in the counterculture.
