Re: Another Review of the Women's Rally

[Bob Hoffmann <escape@alt-escape.com>]

Ah, Doug, how observant of you.  When attending functions of "modernists," 
progressives, or other sundry sinners, you observe that they are either 
tired and cliched, or internally illogical and contradictory.  And the 
adherents are so smug in their self-conviction.  Indeed, nothing is more 
self-affirming than being in the presence of a significant number of 
like-minded individuals, gathered in common purpose--certainly you 
recognize this in your own congregation.  What cliches, what repetition, 
what poverty of philosophy would the nonbeliever point out in your flock?

Of course you would not appeal to one ideal as the final rationalization 
for every thought you hold, every act you perform, right?  Or have these 
progressives found religion, and are you to congratulate them for 
that?  And why your own failure of logic and rationality, observing that 
the greatest mantra of the event was Equality, and yet not understanding 
the reason the crowd accepted the legal alternative proposed by Peg 
Hamlett--because it would apply EQUALLY to both genders, unlike the current 
ordinance?

We should not be surprised that some voyeurs attended the rally, looking to 
see some titty, only to be presented by the male posterior of the 
ordinance's most recent violator.  Surely you're not trying to make a point 
with this?  If atheists were to attend one of your services on the premise 
of smugly viewing idolatry, would that negate the sincerity of purpose 
among the worshipers?  Upon the passing of the collection plate, would they 
raise comparisons to the most recent televangelist caught with his 
money-stuffed pants around his ankles in the company of a prostitute?

They might; they might not.  It's all a question of character.
