Feel free to use this at your next cocktail party when you want to impress strangers with your up-to-the-minute knowledge of religious terminology: Talibangelist.ooooh, how so very nasty without being explicit . . . .
It's the newest term coined by Savage Love advice columnist Dan Savage. Not entirely sure of the precise definition, but going on past precedent, I don't think he intends it as a compliment -- either to the Taliban or evangelicals.
I won't go into detail about Savage's other potty-mouthed terminology -- this is a family-friendly news blog, after all -- but needless to say, if you Google the term "Saddlebacking," a not-so-nice reference to Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, you'll see what I mean. I won't get into what he said about a former senator from Pennsylvania.
But, if you read Dan Savage's column that the religious news blog finds so offensive, I'm not sure but what they would subscribe to his basic advice. But, why let reality enter into a chance to flaunt an oh-so-radical-sounding-new-word? Frankly, I think this is a bit of wobblywad about splut.
As it happens the ridiculous "situation" caused by the Franklin Unitarian*Universalst Fellowship's poorly thought through decision to institute a 'Weapons Policy' inspired me to come up with the following potty-mouthed terminology aka oh-so-U*Uadical-sounding-brand-spanking-new-word a little while back. . .
