always had to be different from Christianity. He elevated himself about all others. Only he was without degradation, like all others in "poor, poor" Christianity.
I always like the story of the Wizard of Oz. All the pomp and fear displayed by the Wizard was just a mirage of his own doing. It's kind of personal for me since many felt writer Frank Baum's children's story was a political satire, with the "Wizard" character loosely based on senior Senator Marc Hanna from Cleveland, whom my grandfather worked for.
