Random Quote
(Complete listing)A major function of fundamentalist religion is to bolster deeply insecure and fearful people. This is done by justifying a way of life with all of its defining prejudices. It thereby provides an appropriate and legitimate outlet for one's anger. The authority of an inerrant Bible that can be readily quoted to buttress this point of view becomes an essential ingredient to such a life. When that Bible is challenged, or relativized, the resulting anger proves the point categorically.
Bishop John Shelby Spong, Rescuing the Bible From Fundamentalism, (San Fransisco: Harper Collins, 1991), p. 5.

hm, looks soft and flexible rather than hard and brittle.
Gorgeous in any case.

Pfft. This kind of explicit display all well and good, but it leaves nothing to the imagination! Whatever happened to sophisticated eroticism?
