Obscure?

Response to people who accuse us of preaching Obscurantism:

Okay. This is going to be a Performance K.

1. How many of you in the audience would self-identify as feminists? Show of hands. Okay a lot of you. You'd think I'd said Seig and y'all were saying Heil. Christ that's a lot. So are you aware that sexual repression and the systematic attempts to control frivolous sexual behaviour, condemning it as sin, sodomy, or our present misnomer, rape, was Judeo-Christian in origin?

2. How many of you believe in Science?

Okay fewer but still a lot.
Did you know that your method of thinking originated in the Christian Church in the Middle Ages?

3. How many of you have ever run a topicality argument?

REALLY. So you believe that a text has a 'framer' whose 'intent' can be 'known', as in the Gnostic tradition?

The Christian Church committed GENOCIDE over their interpretations of the 'One True' meaning of a given passage or two from the Holy Bible.

Buddhists never did that to my knowledge. Nor did Taoists. Not even Hindus; they left that to Brahman.

You hate our mysticism because we challenge the Judeo-Christian Ethic that pervades your patriarchal ideologies WHETHER YOU KNOW IT OR NOT. And if you claim to oppose Christianity you are merely Pharisees and hypocrites. Our defense is that of Timothy Leary. And we are not afraid of you.
