Dogma days
Religion is becoming an endless political distraction -- but cultural secularism is not the answer. Plus: The amazing Obamas! The return of Gennifer Flowers! And the lamest duck of all
By Camille Paglia [2007-12-12]

  • Never worth reading

    Drivel, pablum, content-less yammering. OK, atheism is bad. What's her substitute? One sentence: she admires the universe.

    So, we are back to paganism. Sure, not a problem. It's just so fucking pat, and so totally absent of any thought whatsoever.

    Why do people give this woman the status of cultural critic? My high-school children write better essays than this.

    How to write an essay:

    1) Come up with a thesis

    2) Support the thesis with arguments

    3) 3-4 paragraphs

    4) conclude by reminding reader of arguments.

    Does she grade essays of her students? What are her standards? You get an A if your essay is idiotic, pointless, and has no valid or sensible arguments?
