| 40. There have been a few changes . . . |
 |
but the majority of organized patriarchal religion stands --
with one WHITE/ALL MALE GOD.
Also, as far as I know the Bible still stands -- certainly patriarchal --
and one of the most violent books ever written.
Vatican is still in business and the Pope still fails to acknowledge the full
personhood of females as it acknowledges the full personhood of males.
Additionally, Vatican still deals in dogma, dictates -- overturned liberation theology.
Brought Opus Dei back in.
Also, "Manifest Destiny" and "Man's Dominion Over Nature" are the license for the elite
to exploit nature, natural resources, animal-life -- and even other human beings according
to various myths of "inferiority."
These concepts are at the least authoritarian -- if not fascist.
Certainly not democratic --
Granted, would love to see women make swiss cheese of the whole thing.

 Is it time, to do an excommunication of far right religious freaks? |

BUT, they refer to themselves as the majority of America. That would end. |
