Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.  You make the "conservative" statements
you make so easy to pick apart, though, that you actually take all the
challenge out of it.  It would be so easy to walk in and say "But Matt
reads and interprets the Bible the way he wants, as so many do, the lack of
proof for God's authorship of the book notwithstanding", but your statement
actually leads the reader to think about how stupid it is all by itself!
And that last sentence on democratic religion:  perfect!  The way in which
you make it so easy to say "where is your proof of the veracity of that
particular book?" is truly remarkable.  If I was wearing a hat, it would be
taken off to you.  (This gives you the opportunity to now say "if you had
a head, Rosen"---I figure such symbiosis in this is worthwhile.)

Wow, what better way to make your opinions look foolish!  That penultimate
sentence:  wow!  "Rather than TRY AND SATISFY HER SPOUSE SEXUALLY", as if
that was the proper role for a woman in sex.  You almost (but not quite)
make up for accidentally having said "spokesperson" in an earlier article
and given yourself away as a non-sexist.  But, keep it up.  I think you're
great!
