Because she's basically the Donald Trump of feminism.<br /><br />Not much else interesting to quote, but it confirms my feelings that she's more interested in keeping the opinion pot dangerously stirred than dangerously clarified.<br /><br />Perhaps she dislikes Stewart for his introverted ability to detect inconsistencies necessary for wisdom, while people who can offer opinions as furiously as she does is probably a big walking contradiction trying to stay ahead of her last hasty inference.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-42665025589820700752015-07-30T14:22:13.065-07:002015-07-30T14:22:13.065-07:00priss, both W and Rush can be argued with.

I have to believe she must do this, but I can't see it.<br /><br />It's good she's willing to take a stand as an atheist and call out other atheists for their biases, but then when she speaks of religions she only says "we need to respect all religions" whatever that means. They're all equally true BECAUSE they are all false, all benevolent propaganda to serve a given social order, or something like that.<br /><br />Stuart, your usage of the word "cult" might be helpful for classifying less conscious belief structures within a culture, at least better than "religion" which would seem to require a deity on top. <br /><br />OTOH "cult" also has a strongly negative historical meaning, implying a false religion, usually following a single chrismatic leader, and ending in mass-suicide. So I wonder if there's a way to reclaim any positive sides of cults. Maybe Paglia's approach is all cultural anthropologists can do - objectively study and categorize without caring what human truths they can carry that our objective stand-offishness can't.<br /><br />If Paglia could do that, perhaps she'd discover her own cult, and then maybe religion would make sense to her, not as something to categorize, but something worth living and dying for?<br /><br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-11183635838573502472015-07-30T08:29:16.886-07:002015-07-30T08:29:16.886-07:00It's true that most Libs cannot think.

But you have to wonder about Cons when they elect someone like Dubya and get their news from the likes of fatboy Limbaugh.<br /><br />Btw, Libs do have a religion. Homophilia.<br /><br />And as churches sign onto 'gay marriage', I think young Libs will return to the church because of their conviction that god and jesus worship George Takei and Sam Smith.<br /><br />priss rulesnoreply@blogger.com
