What was interesting about the "Christian" article was the balanced and 
objective description of much of the poly process and its historical 
evolution.  There were no polemics until the final two paragraphs and they 
were totally predictable as to tone as well as content.  The lesson to be 
learned is that the Christian right has learned the jargon of "scholarship" 
and as such can be persuasive of audiences that heretofore would have 
categorically rejected their message.  These elements have learned to 
moderate the tone of their language and to try to portray a "we hate the 
sin, but love the sinner" stance, which we need to acknowledge and consier 
when try ing to engage in any discussion or dialogue.  That said, most of 
the posted comments that follow the article are just folks screaming past 
each other and not listening.

On another topic, I was somewhat surprised that no one responded to my 
comments on the World article about polygamy among Kenya Unitarians, 
especially their biblical literalism and homophobia.
