I think I'll confound my critics by devoting this post not to describing stuck-up prima donnas in general, but Christianity in particular. But before I continue, allow me to explain that Christianity is not only immoral, but amoral. Forgive me for boring you with all the gory details, but Christianity is not interested in a true and honest improvement of social conditions, but rather in a way to alter, rewrite, or ignore past events to make them consistent with its current "reality". But you knew that already. So let me add that for the nonce, it is content to place stumbling blocks in front of those of us who seek value and fulfilment in our personal and professional lives. But sometime soon, it will spam the Internet with unforgiving e-mail.
Once, just once, I'd like to see Christianity's lieutenants pursue virtue and knowledge. But until they do that (if they ever do that), we must realize that what I have been writing up to this point is not what I initially intended to write in this post. Instead, I decided it would be far more productive to tell you that Christianity's obloquies are not pedantic treatises expressing theories or extravaganzas dealing in fables or fancies. They are substantial, sober outpourings from the very soul of propagandism. The take-away message of this post is that when Christianity says that it has a "special" perspective on neopaganism which carries with it a "special" right to rifle, pillage, plunder, and loot, it's just plain wrong -- not "partially wrong", but "absolutely and utterly wrong". Think about it. I don't want to have to write another post a few weeks from now, in the wake of a society torn apart by Christianity's ill-bred, illogical bons mots, reminding you that you were warned.
