A cure for the priesthood’s problems

At last, this sounds like a practical solution:

In an open letter, the girlfriends of more than 40 priests have called for a relaxation of the church’s stance on celibacy to allow a limited range of sexual practices, including the reverse Dutch Steamboat, the Stockholm Slip’n’Slide and the Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

There are more details at the link, but it is not recommended if you are not in a raunch-friendly environment.

If you squint real hard it almost looks like an experiment, at least

I am really surprised at all the people who are saying the original letter had to have been an intentional joke. Haven’t you looked at Ray Comfort/Kirk Cameron/Kent Hovind on YouTube? They say essentially the same things! For another example, I was sent this link (scroll down to where it says “What Are The Scientists Saying?”) to a 50 page document full of nonsense, garbled science and creationism, and random invalid arguments against evolution, all just as silly as this.

Some simply don’t understand Poe’s Law. It states that parodies of fundamentalism will be indistinguishable from the real thing. This letter is indistinguishable by any measure from any of the routine creationist lunacy you can find just about anywhere you look.

What kind of relationship?

I want to hear the rest of this talk, because I’m wondering about that “building a relationship with your readers”.

I think “relationship” might be too sensitive a word for “throw out lots of bloody gobbets of freshly hacked up meat so the readers will tear them apart instead of you”. Ride the tiger, baby.
