At noon today, a man was yelling into a loudspeaker in the middle of the quad, exhorting us to stop fornicating because it offends the Holy Spirit. He sounded so urgent that you might think he was in the midst of an orgy. It’s blistering hot, and I was starting to worry about the fellow’s health he was so perturbed by imminent fornication.

Probably a supporter of the fornicator-in-chief, Donald Trump.

The religious supporters of Trump are a lot nicer than the non-religious ones: http://nomoremister.blogspot.com/2018/09/just-how-many-of-their-core-values-do.html
It would be so easy to pull them away if only liberals weren’t so hysterically dedicated to stamping out religious freedom.

How are liberals dedicated to stamping out religious freedom? I am a progressive, not a liberal, so maybe I don’t really know what liberals are up to.

Aren’t progressives just a more extreme (or radical, if you wish) version of Liberals?
I spent two years reading every article by a religous author I could find. I’m now very well-versed in the subject. 🙂 I don’t want to give a dissertation-type lecture here but I have had to recognize – against my initial inclinations – that these people’s fears are anything but irrational and they have to be downright crazy to vote for anybody who doesn’t promise to appoint conservative justices to SCOTUS.
We all know how I feel about religous freakazoids but on this issue I’m forced to recognize they have a point.

Oh…. I miss traveling campus preachers. At my undergraduate place there was a great husband and wife team and it was always huge news and a source of great joy when it they rolled into town for a week or so with their fire and brimstone warnings…. they’d gather a crowd of a hundred or more hecklers doing Rocky Horror style shoutbacks and engaging in obscene chants and a great time was had by all… (the preachers themselves occasionally had to control themselves from laughing).
I even figured out their economic model (but mostly kept it to myself). If I weren’t very sooo busy this week I’d write a post on it (and this weekend I’m off to the mediterranean for a last week rest before the academic year starts).

No word on the Father and Son’s opinions. Of course, the Holy Spirit could be offended there’s no room for it there, just like what happens when Catholic middle school dance attendees slow-dance way too close.

I did feel like a total loser when I realized I could be fornicating instead of trudging across campus in ridiculous heat.
