Nope, not true. If you noticed I posted the link to you and asked what you thought of it,(after that idiotic link "lori darlin" posted and it is you who decided to go on the attack, (almost as if you had to cover up something?)

Take a look and see if that is not true.

After you did that , yes I made some statements about it, in the sense of why anyone would pray to melted ice cream, (which is sad) and wanting to build a shrine to it. (Which is idolatry).

"The Hour is Getting Late" geocities.com

"When all the archetypes burst out shamelessly, we plumb the depths
of Homeric profundity. Two cliches make us laugh but a hundred
cliches moves us because we sense dimly that the cliches are talking
among themselves, celebrating a reunion . . . Just as the extreme of
pain meets sensual pleasure, and the extreme of perversion borders on mystical energy, so too the extreme of banality allows us to catch
a glimpse of the Sublime."

Great site Joe! Thanks, I bookmarked it. I love Umberto Eco. Did you read "Foucault's Pendulum"? My understanding is he wrote that novel as a response to "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" by Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln.

Sometimes I can't figure out if he is Catholic or gnostic.
