Alan: Despite the reductio ad absurdum at the heart of Tom Tomorrow's "Female Orgasm" cartoon, it is a fact that every American with a retirement fund is invested in companies that manufacture weapons of mass destruction (or their components), pills-and-paraphernalia of birth control or the technical apparatus that make abortions possible.
In addition to this truncated litany of commonplace Christian behaviors, it is true that Capitalist prosperity - at least as we know it in the United States -- depends on full-throttle promotion of The Seven Deadly Sins.
The difference between "conscionable outrage" on the one hand, and "kneejerk collusion" on the other, is that Christian conservatives seek out opportunities to demean people while the essential underpinnings of their lives are built on Golden Calf worship.
