« Galen Strawson on conceptual experience
Galen Strawson continued »

Sometimes I forget…

And then I happen across an excerpt of a book chapter (on the “emasculation” of the Presbyterian Church) and some fantastic comments by Reformed Christians. Then I remember just how seriously these guys take the “literal interpretation” of the Bible, and the results:

“The cry of church masculinization is the on ramp to exploring all things feminized. Part of that exploration wants to forbid any pastor who ever questions parents allowing their sons paint their toenails and use eyeliner or let who their daughters fawn over miserable academiacs [sic] in efforts to squash joy that comes from having children, buying good cookware, etc.”

Woman, get thee to a Crate & Barrel!

Oh, and in case anyone here feels like going over and engaging in discussion, don’t bother. The Baylys will ask you to leave if you don’t accept their biblical hermeneutic.

More on Galen Strawson is coming soon, I promise.
