Taylor Swift Potluck - BYOB
There was a time when if you didn't agree with a dominant religion you would cobble together some "book", attract some adherents, build your own church, and even go off and start your own town or city - and leave the rest of us alone. Even the early "socialists" had enough decency and manners to do this.
There are plenty of examples from history - from the Egyptians that decided to worship a "sun god", the insufferable Mormons, Martin Luther and his feces, and the Scientologists. There is that troubling video of Tom Cruise, evidently being hooked up to his EMeter on high voltage for too long, that gives one pause that the FAA has seen fit to not revoke his pilots license. These days, aside from a few pothead cults that adopt weed as a "sacrament", the trend is to do some "book" and the sit back and either do nothing or attack the rest of us for not doing anything. This is particularly common amongst the rich coastal elites. There were some homers a few years back that published their own "Gay Bible" - then nothing except to bother the rest of us with their excuses for sodomy. Oprah Winfrey started her own "New Age" religion - and by all accounts has enough money to build her own mega-church, to say nothing of renting out sports stadiums and going on a crusade. Last, but not least, are your garden variety cafeteria "Christians" - strolling past the buffet of scripture to see what interests them - a Twitter age version of BYOB (Bring Your Own Bible). Thus we have a petulant pop star Taylor Swift, not only deciding to become engaged in politics, but proposing her own Kentucky based Bible (TSV2020). No one would deny that Taylor Swift has the financial resources to get her Bible published, and build some churches along the way. Better yet, if Oprah can tape the keys for Pontiac G-6 sedans underneath the seats of her audience, Taylor Swift can tape her Bible underneath the seats of her fans and begin preaching at her concerts - to the delight of her adoring public.

Re: Taylor Swift Potluck - BYOB
How can anyone disagreeing with what the founder of their religion taught, with how the source material defines the belief system itself, a belief system to which the founder subscribed, claim to not repudiate the belief system and associated religions and all the source material too?
I've read stuff attributed to Mohammed and other stuff describing his life. Not only is it utterly abhorrent, not only would I be prepared to devote time and effort to denounce what I see as the vilest literature of the modern era, if I'd been educated in suckage to that extent I'd repudiate everything I'd been taught and encourage others do to the same. Surely someone so horrified at Biblical tenets.—.perhaps what they'd see as its commandments to murder, enslave, extort, rape, pillage and indoctrinate with lies.—.would be prepared to repudiate Biblical etiquette? Apparently not so. This wretch clearly abhors The Bible, our only record of what Jesus taught, finds the consequences of sin as taught by Jesus whether in the present or in the future (or, I suppose in the past) disgusting or murderous or otherwise foul yet will not repudiate the belief system, its foundational texts or the doctrines they so obviously teach? |

There is much that is objectionable about that arrogant young woman, and more that is (unintentionally) absurd and hilarious. But that video reminds me that if I could have just one phrase erased from incessant current usage then it would be "the right side of history".

Anyone who reads the Bible agrees Butt-a-judge's soul is in the hands of God. It is a soul headed for hell.
