So, a bunch of (mostly) young people demonstrated on Venice Beach for gender equality, the girls by going topless, the guys wearing bikini tops. So far, so good.
Did the cops come? No (the kids had permission). What about a rabbi, imam, or maybe a pujari or a kannushi? No, none of those guys. But never fear; those vaunted defenders of our eternal salvation, the Jesus people, were right there, demonstrating to defend us from blasphemeous indecency. Are we grateful? No again. Because we know something about them...that they are too busily occupied elsewhere to discover for themselves.
I admit to a prejudice, but well founded, and based mostly on my own personal brand of "faith", arrived at over many years of observing how such people function. Hey everybody, Eureka! Getting into your shit is a very good way to avoid dealing with one's own! And why, pray, is this so uniquely characteristic of the activist Christian faithful?
Tell me; I'm all ears.
