Oh, I Dunno.
A lot of Methodists don't approve of drinking, either.

Ah, but Methodist won't cut your head off because you had a gin martini...

That does seem to be an important distinction.

Or try to make everyone else stop drinking.

Oh, and that worked oh so well.

Hey—pin that one on the WCTU, if you must. I'll take the rap as a chick.
But as a Methodist-raised Californian/Midwesterner? There were other denominations involved in that particular fiasco!

These days, we Methodists are very carefully not opposed to supporting anything someone else may not be for.
Except extremism. We are 100 percent adamantly against that in any and all forms at all times as practiced by anybody.
Posted by: Brett at October 21, 2007 09:40 AM
It is permissible to be extreme in one's opposition to extremism?
Posted by: Attila Girl at October 21, 2007 06:46 PM
Possible? It's required!
Unless not meeting the requirement would make someone feel excluded. Then it's not required.

I'm not sure what exactly you're saying, here, but I'm pretty sure I'm offended.
Posted by: Attila Girl at October 22, 2007 08:18 PM
Offended? I don't know how that can be. We Methodists have spent years passing resolutions, evaluating positions and whatnot so that we can attain the position of inoffense to all (some of us like to call it "Nirblanda"). We're pretty sure it's what John Wesley would have wanted, even though we can't really find it in his writing. But he lived a long time and wrote lots of stuff, so it's in there somewhere.

About Joy W. McCann: I've been interviewed for Le Monde and mentioned on Fox News. I once did a segment for CNN on "Women and Guns," and this blog is periodically featured on the New York Times' blog list. My writing here has been quoted in California Lawyer. I've appeared on The Glenn and Helen Show. Oh—and Tammy Bruce once bought me breakfast.
My writing has appeared in The Noise, Handguns, Sports Afield, The American Spectator, and (it's a long story) L.A. Parent. This is my main blog, though I'm also an alumnus of Dean's World, and I help out on the weekends at Right Wing News.
My political philosophy is quite simple: I'm a classical liberal. In our Orwellian times, that makes me a conservative, though one of a decidedly libertarian bent.
