Remember the part where I said that I had never even seen a Blish novel? 
(Not even a Star Trek tie-in, for those keeping score at home.) I wasn't 
aware that Blish had ever written a novel with religious themes, simply 
because I had never been even accidentally made aware of it.

No, having won the Hugo Award doesn't particularly recommend a story to
me, 
so I don't have a list of Hugo winners that I'm working through. I read
what 
I want when I come across it. This recent discussion of Blish has brought
A 
CASE OF CONSCIENCE to my attention for the first time ever, so I'm 
interested in it; but I'll still get to it when I ****ing get to it.

But you're an ass, as well as a dick. Go **** yourself.
