My brother gave us this critique of religion via Facebook (which actually has some workable blogging tools, by the way). He’s getting good at that reductio ad absurdum, no? In its simplicity, this is the intellectual indictment of year, as far as I’m concerned:
Has there ever been an institution which has taken sadistic glee at the obstruction of human progress comparable to that of the Roman Catholic church? This is the same organization that has continued its hallowed tradition of supporting the Nazis by declaring a former Hitler Youth to be infallible. The Catholic League of America recently puffed out its offended-feathers at a sculpture in chocolate of a naked Jesus of Nazareth. Can you guess what its main objection was? Yes, the fact that the lord and savior's package was visible. They are, presumably, offended by the numerous depictions of the holy tallywhacker in great Renaissance art.
Keep churning these out, boy-oh. While you're there, you may as well check out his informed commentaries on contemporary music too.
