All Comments on 'How the Mighty Have Fallen'

I've noticed an uptick in the religion bashing here of late.

I get it, your choice. I took an oath to defend your right to free speech. BUT.

Bashing religious people, especially Christians and Jews (which you did not do) is getting old.

Yes I have met some religiously obnoxious people. But their form was in words. Unlike those religious nuts that murdered people I knew on 9-11. Funny how most religious bashers never touch that topic and that religion. Call me when you grow a pair and go after the "religion of peace."

Meh. First of all, third person for such a personal story is much too cold.

Second, we never heard about that "chain of events," or what happened to her. Her husband is dead? How? What about her son?

There's SO much story there to tell, and all you told us is that a former devout wife is now a stripper/porn star.

what happened to her son

Yeah, Kalimaxos has a very valid point. If you take dogs at religious, that is your right. I too, took an oath to defend your right to free speech, even if I may not agree with said speech. But I too notice that most of those taking digs at religion do not have the balls to take a dig at the 'religion of peace'. Maybe because said religion is probably the most intolerant of any religion, and quite possibly may come for your hide should you mention them unfavorably. So take shots at religion if you wish, but grow some balls and include that particular religion in your writings.

sorry, a weak story and the church angle just muddled it even more. It seemed you had more of an axe to grind about religion.

You are the greatest writer of corrupting stories, but this one didn't show de development of the character. I can't wait to see the slow changes on her personality, the first "f word" , first drink, cigarette, piercing, tattoo, sexy clothes...Please, write more stories for us!

I really enjoyed your original 7-part work from years ago. I was hoping this was an introduction to another longer novella. I hope to hear more, those of us that like your writings probably find the process of "corruption" to be the most alluring angle of your stories.

Not even good religion bashing.

THIS story fragment is too abrupt . Even reading this directly after the previous series , still the lack of character development and context is just meh .

To give the author their due , in the previous longer series , the previous series addressed the religious aspects with a lot more nuisance , and did have some relatively positive comment on some other churches .

Unless the author was going to more fully develope this into a more complete story , this fragment would have worked better as a postscript to a reedited final installment of the previous series .
