US Left Destroyed by a "Pelvic Priesthood"

[Guest guest]

Pelvic Priesthood

Eugene Weekly typifies the collapse of the ideals of the

liberal/progressive movement into the wreckage of personal

gratification of the sexual entitlements. You claim not to accept

sexual advertising. The abortion work and lesbian monologue of

Shelly Sheklow is sexual advertising incarnate.

 

The U.S. inflicts upon an impoverished and poisoned world a demented

militarism, unusually cruel war-making and insane materialism with

its rampant environmental devastation, largely without protest

because the liberal progressive movement has substituted the

selfishness of sexualism for true political activism.

 

Eugene Weekly champions the falsehood that morality is synonymous

with hate and sexual entitlement with selfless service. Just the

opposite is closer to the truth. Morality informed by conscience is

active compassion, and social service of lasting value is never

about sexual or material gratification. Regardless of changing

customs, all sexuality is inveterately self-centered, and

selfishness is the cause and not the solution to human suffering.

 

You have surrendered the ideals of pacifism and material simplicity

to follow the pelvic priesthood. In the service of an open dialogue,

I challenge you to print the enclosed essay, "Autodeism, Hefnerism

and the Pelvic Priesthood" albeit heresy, against cults of personal

gratification which you so slavishly admire, or share this article's
