Dennett: Religious Feet held to the Fire

Daniel C. Dennett frequently contributes to NewsWeek but this recent article caught my attention. Mr. Dennett, renown atheist, philospher and best selling author tackled the subject of religious taboos in American culture. The following is a quote from Dennett’s article titled ‘Religious No Longer A Protected Class’:

Sarah Palin and Todd on the verge of divorce?

Would not surprise me. Has yet to be confirmed, but this news network was the first to report that Palin was running for Governor of Alaska and also that she was McCain’s presidential running mate for the 2008 election. A few weeks ago we heard Sarah Palin resign as Governor of Alaska cutting her elected term shot with 18 months to go. Last week she gave an embarrassing resignation where she blamed the media for her own failings and blubbered on with nonsense metaphors and extended analogies.

What do we expect from a woman who asks her family to abide by a bronze age book and then puts her family on a pedestal? Trying to be the “perfect christian “joe six pack” family backfired on Palin with her oldest daughter’s teenage pregnancy. Touting an “absenence only” sex education, the Palin’s found out first hand how ignorance regarding sex education has dire effects. Perhaps Palin’s resignation is simply an attempt to make the divorce news a little less scandalous. Quitting as governor of Alaska is not something done without reason. She is falling hard from that tall pedestal. Ouch. The Palin spokesperson denies this story.
