i do not appreciate going to church on romanticized occasions (mothers’ day; fathers’ day; veterans’ day; grandparents’ day), which congregations tend to treat as opportunities to serve nutritionally deficient concoctions made of alternating layers of transfats, artificial sweeteners, thickening agents and artificial colors to provide a fully sensual experience.

Like Twinkies for the soul: immensely satisfying in that guilt-ridden way that stuffs its face with mass-produced goodies, assuring itself that the yawning hunger one feels during such a feast is nothing more serious than a passing fancy for something sweet.

Its what got the abolitionist movement going which led to the suffrage movement (for women and blacks). It seems that its only been post-Vietnam war/hippie era that promoters of peace are seen as far outside 'normal' society. There were a lot of social reformers in the 19th century.

I guess I need to read more women's writings. All of a sudden I sense an undiscovered heritage.
