Dear Ricky: What Is More Elitist Than Religious Belief?

[stopbush]

Seriously.

Is there anything in life more elitist than religious belief, which is based entirely - ENTIRELY - on MAKE BELIEVE, and which gains its political power by people (well, actually, males, not people) "interpreting" said make believe however they will to gain and maintain said power?

1. So as a Lutheran I'm an elitist?

2. You're talking about men of the cloth, not belief itself

You should change your headline to read:

'Dear Ricky: What's more elitist than clerical elites?'

Because as it stands now, it really doesn't make much sense.

3. religion is flawed because people are flawed. Spiritual belief isn't. It doesn't require

any conformity of thought or practice to feel the love of the source of all things. Elitist? Nope. Idiots in it professing to know God's thoughts? Probably.
