Gosh, what have you been liberated from?
All this talk of linguistic liberation makes you sound a bit like my buddy Jacques Derrida--he was into that.
God Bless you, and I raise a glass of Kentucky distilled spirits to Wyoming or Utah or wherever you happen to be.

But, in answer to your honest question, I type it that way to wrest notions of the Creator from the religious majority in this country who distort and destroy all that is good, and perhaps sacred, in the biblical texts and traditions that are central to the foundations of Western civilization--our collective sins as well as our achievements.

I know conditioning when I see it. You just have been taught that the word is taboo. That's cool. Just don't let it rule your life. I especially like the programmed response... "the religious majority in this country who distort and destroy all that is good"... very not cool. But as long as you are smart enough to remember why you were conditioned... you can start to think again.

>svw has a sudden memory of colonel wilberforce trying to land the plane by talking them down in "It's a Mad, mad, mad, mad World". Buddy Hacket and Mickey Rooney are the clueless pilots...
"men. You do have a hold of the wheel. Don't you men? For gods sake. *&&*t Grab the wheel"
You didn't throw the PETA guys on the grill? choke. Did you? "Answer me men!"

Thanks for the link.
Green evangelicals grow as a logical consequence of serious Bible study. I'm happy to see that they read the newspapers, too, and are drifting away from Bush's unrighteous agenda.
