Egad! Another wired goddess has shown her frailty. I'm ... crushed.

My most admired-from-afar Jane Galt stumbled onto this story, wherein some twit was fired for refusing to remove her eyebrow ring. She sued to be reinstated because she claims she was discriminated on the basis of her religion; she belongs to the Church of Body Modification. Jane develops an advanced form of apoplexy because she thinks that the twit is somehow debasing other religious beliefs, and she even discards her heretofore unsullied upbringing by suggesting that maybe the judge should rule that this isn't a real religion.

Crap. The twit's beliefs don't sound any more foolish to me than does any other belief system constructed around imaginary friends, post-mortem Ponzi schemes, giving your money to <diety/>'s friends/workers/bagmen, etc. If we're going to say "that religion is stupid", then the emphasis shouldn't be on "that", but rather on "religion". They're all stupid.

Please, Jane, tell me this was all a lofty pile of sarcasm and I just missed the joke. Please? Pretty please?
