Geez… I never knew having two readers could be so problematic. I have been told that in one fell swoop I’ve disrespected both religion and women (12/29 post, actually referring to and obviously degrading further the original 12/27 post/notification). I can only imagine how bad it would have been had I made the wheelchair joke that was rattling around in my brain.
Just a quick disclaimer – though it would probably be quicker and more effective if I just called both of you – about these concerns but here goes. I do not disrespect religion, however I do disprespect the hypocrisy inherent in so many organized religions – but to be fair to organized religions, at least they are trying and I’d rather see the world with flaws moving forward than with nothing at all and sinking backward. I’m sure Christina Aguilera could benefit from the tutelage of a Catholic nun or Zen Buddhist Monk – different wisdom for different folks. I won’t claim to know what works best for any individual – but on the flipside, I won’t have them claim it for me either.
Disclaimer, part deux – I was in no way intending disrespect for women. I was poking more fun at the ability of a person to become an ordained reverend in “Just three minutes” to quote from their site. Side note: Truthfully it’s more like 30 seconds unless you type really slow or have to change into special robes before submitting the form. I’ll leave it stand as it is – a piece of sarcastic Internet humor posted in amusement regarding the world around us.
Besides, why do guys do anything? You really think Og invented fire to better the tribe and help warm up the sabre tooth leftovers? No, he did it for the chicks.
