I’ve got a lot to write about, but first, this is what the cover of the bulletin at church looked like today:

Peace be with you + love your neighbor? (Possibly riffing on the traditional Passing of the Peace?) Maybe some sort of implication of community outreach?

[akronohten]

Well, Jesus did say "peace be with you" a few times in the lectionary reading for today. But what that has to do with the houses? I think I'l have to bring it up at staff meeting tomorrow.

[mydamonian]

Note that one house has a white roof, and one a black roof, but otherwise they're exactly the same.

Think about it.

Actually, the one on the left has a window above the two doors. The one on the right doesn't. A-boo-ya!

[mydamonian]

Ah, but doesn't that represent only a visual differentiation?

Think about it.

~D

[akronohten]

No.

[mydamonian]

Doesn't your unwillingness to talk about this situation symbolize America's unwillingness?

Think about it.

~D

[akronohten]

Yes.

[mydamonian]

Doesn't your brief concession represent your white guilt?

Think about it.

~D

[akronohten]

No. Only my male guilt.

[mydamonian]

Doesn't that just demonstrate your phallocentrism?

Think about it.

~D

[akronohten]

You know what else demonstrates my phallcentrism? My skull-fucking you.

[mydamonian]

Isn't that just an allegory for the hypermasculine, heterosexist, world teaching our young white men to dominate and repress through forced sex?

Think about it.
