Don't we chuckle at the utterly naive
simplicity of mind of pagan peoples
wise enough to produce philosophers
whose wisdom echoes down the ages
but gullible enough to believe in the
panoply of gods and their retainers.
Of satyrs and nymphs, the cunning
manipulation of the former and the
sweet innocence of the latter. Yet it
took the enlightened era of the present
where intellect and rationality became
fond bedfellows that satyrs have turned
into nymphs. The judge sentencing a rabid
rapist - declaring himself transgender -
intoned considering sentencing that 'she
used her penis to rape the victims'. Then
too the sensitive declaration of 'people
who menstruate' lest transgendered
women feel aggrieved, ignored and
belittled. Who knows, those pagan gods
might be leaning down from their
heavenly perches eager to enjoy the
most recent scandalous escapades
of pathetic humanity's latest theology.
Um ... sorry, what was that question
again? Has the world gone mad?
