    What's the core of this issue?

    One can try to untie the many knots, re feminism, liberalism, religion, anti-religion, free speech, and so on, but to me the core is people are allowed to react strongly to the quote about the holy ghost's sticky semen, just as feminists can go nuts over cracks about Nancy or Hillary's tits, and blacks can take strong umbrage at racial slurs. What's somewhat ironic here is that the author of the H.G. statements probably thought it was so, so clever...actually, it was mechanical, so unfunny.
