"Art Film: R.I.P." -- Camille Paglia goes at it

Posted by clarkjohnsen (R) on August 8, 2007 at 09:41:25

And as usual she says some very unexpected things, just like her high-testosterone sister-in-arms Ann Coulter, the very balls of their gender. (Will I get in trouble for saying that?)

Excerpt:

Now, in contrast, aspiring young filmmakers are stampeded toward simplistic rejection of religion based on liberal bromides (sexism, homophobia, etc.). Religion as metaphysics or cosmic vision is no longer valued except in the New Age movement, to which I still strongly subscribe, despite its sometimes outlandish excesses. As a professed atheist, I detest the current crop of snide manifestos against religion written by professional cynics, flâneurs and imaginatively crimped and culturally challenged scientists. The narrow mental world they project is very grim indeed -- and fatal to future art.

My pagan brand of atheism is predicated on worship of both nature and art. I want the great world religions taught in every school. Secular humanism has reached a dead end -- and any liberals who don't recognize that are simply enabling the worldwide conservative reaction of fundamentalism in both Christianity and Islam.

[Amen!]
