Moral values

The views of an OK minister:

"What Are Moral Values?"

by Rev. Dr. Robin Meyers
Mayflower Church, Oklahoma City

As some of you know, I am minister of Mayflower Congregational Church in Oklahoma City, a church in northwest Oklahoma City, and professor of Rhetoric at Oklahoma City University. But you would most likely have encountered me on the pages of the Oklahoma Gazette, where I have been a columnist for six years, and hold the record for the most number of angry letters to the editor.

Tonight, I join ranks of those who are angry, because I have watched as the faith I love has been taken over by those who claim to speak for Jesus, but whose actions are anything but Christian.

I xposted it in [personal profile] democrats, [profile] ljdemocrats, and [profile] liberal_bias; he must have seen it one or more of these communities.

He maintains [livejournal.com profile] ljdemocrats so that's probably where.

That must be it.

nice.... "bitchslap" is the word that comes to mind, but I'm not sure a male minister *can* bitchslap.

The author's first name is Robin, a name given to people of both sexes. Moreover, the "bitch" in "bitchslap" refers to the person being slapped, not the person doing the slapping. Men are also referred to as bitches when they are being dominated by someone of either gender, so in this context Rev. Meyers is bitchslapping President Bush.
