-but we won't even do that...that's how far we have to go in stripping religion of the vestments of unearned deference.  At present, we're looking to appease the children, to make excuses for them, and to turn our heads when they engage in harmful douchebaggery on every level from the personal to the institutiuonal.

That a single catholic still exists, as in a card carrying member of mother church..not these wishy washy "believers" who don't believe what Cathol demands...is a condemnation of where religious appeasement and deference leads.  Depravity, oppression, indifference, absurdity, and complicity..all in one cute little package.


Yeah it is some kind of commentary on the times we live in that adults consider crazyass supernatural beliefs to be not only acceptable but even praiseworthy.  Who would have thought a naked chimpanzee species could devolve to such a degree?

Still, I won't let that be my problem.  Adults get to make their own decisions in my world so long as they stay within the law about it (and don't try to turn that into the Sharia type).  The world is a strange and wonderful place which will always surprise me.  Why shouldn't people do the same?
