Personally, I can think of several imperialistic religions that could doom us. Maybe I’m just more creative.

I guess the “Christian Summer Camp Tour” posting is next?

Furthermore, I demand that every post having to do with gay rights is balanced by one post about straight people and every mention of steampunk is accompanied with an example of sensible postwar modernism.

(I come here for the links to pop culture tidbits — certainly not for any principled or coherent postings on politics or religion… )

And yet you feel compelled to comment on them anyway.

Way to make sweeping generalizations, bub.

No, I am specifically responding to the article.

“Turns out I was a moron trying to go through the women’s entrance and he went inside to see if there was a path where I could walk around to not disturb any of the women.”

So this religion (or it’s practitioners), mandates a separation of women and men?

Or do you think that delightful “separate but equal” chestnut applies here?

You can view this example of sexism through a cultural filter, if helps you justify it, or call me all the names you like.

But it still doesn’t make it not stink.

Sam Schulman, writing in the Christian Science Monitor rests his opposition to Judge Walker’s decision on the need to protect women:

“What protects women, ultimately, is that marriage laws and customs confer upon her independence something extra — dignity, protection, sacredness — that others must respect. And if this quality can be bestowed upon anyone, even those not in intersexual relationships — it reduces, even dissolves its force… We are merely voicing a sensible desire to preserve an institution that recognizes and protects the special status of women. If marriage becomes a legislative courtesy available to everyone, like a key to the city, it will be women who will lose.”

He already mated you three moves ago, sir. The game is over.

didn’t the prop 8 supporters just trot out an argument about the need for marriage to protect all the poor little women? oh yes, they did:

Hi Sum Zero

They sure did. So..?

If your, in any way, insinuating that I believe that Christians (or let’s clarify here, ANY faith based religion) are not sexist, well then your making an assumption based on no evidence.

“So this religion (or it’s practitioners), mandates a separation of women and men?

That’s fine as long as you’re not joining agates in his earlier “why does this blog have posts about X but not about Y” rant.

Sorry, your wrong. I was just complaining about X. Not Y.

And I’ve never known any of the Boing Boing writers to care if someone criticizes the validity or interest of a posting.

Try having some actual understanding of real world Islam, rather than the bullspit you read on right wing hate sites.
