And the feminist dimension
Manniq, 03 Nov 2005 10:25:06
Um. Anyone from FAC wish to write to the Scottish half of the Tweedledumb/TweedleGoggins duo about the list of proposed imagery that might be found offensive?
And, er, inquire of her, as a feminist, why the depiction of menstrual blood might be considered offensive?
(It wouldn't hurt to add a paragraph in the letter inquring whether this is because although she supports the proposal it is actually being driven by a bunch of christians). Divide et impera...that's what I always say!
Regards,
M

Because it's not kosher?

It seems to be more a Jewish problem than Christian...

Let us indulge in a little speculation here. Let us assume some far-right
American think-tank decided that they had to begin preparations for Armageddon.
If I can put myself into their mindset, (not for too long, it *** hurts):
They'd try to unite the Catholic Church, the Evangelical Christians,
Third-world CofE and the Jews, for the final mighty struggle against the forces
of darkness, (Islam anybody)?
They'd dismiss UK CofE, US Ecumenicals, Methodists, etc. as being
insufficiently dogmatic over God's Word, too liberal, effete and too soft on
gay men, etc.
They would regard Liberals, liberals, Quakers, Humanists, Agnostics, Atheists
and indeed anyone who opposes a Christian Theocracy as "the enemy's fifth
column in Christendom".
They they would specifically pick issues designed to denigrate and demonise the
opposition and unite their mainstream supporters. Stuff like teaching
Creationism/ Intelligent Design in Schools, Capital Punishment, Abortion,
Same-sex marriage, Pornography, etc.
Seem a familiar pattern?
I am not suggesting there is one person, or even one organisation behind this;
but a broad coalition of such groups, swapping notes, people, picking uyp tips
from each other. If they are powerful enough to capture the White House, then
it is going to be a struggle.
