Er, Nikki Webster is FHM's cover girl this month. Is part of the sex appeal of this the whole world of wrong aspect?
In non-squick news, I actually found myself defending Christianity in my Myths and Symbols class today. We were reading the writings of Saint Theresa (she of the dodgy "ecstasy") and someone got on the feminism high-horse about it. (Specifically a line where Theresa begs God not to bestow such favours upon her, because she is "only a woman, and not even a good one, but wicked".) I pointed out that, actually, the Christian belief that to be human is to sin is not depressing and self-mortification, it's quite liberating. You don't have to be perfect; it's impossible.
Can one actually apply the label "Devil's Advocate" to a position you take just to argue, but that involves defense of the faith?
