Packer on exmo "Iagos"

[Guest]

Anyone that doesn't agree with Coggins' worldview is a liberal hack. Convenient.

Just out of curiosity, what have you read from Foucault or Derrida? What is your opinion, for example, on Foucault's approach to history in "The Archeology of Knowledge"?

I doubt very much that he has a reply, let alone an intelligent one. Let's face facts here: the best he will be able to come up with is some argumentum ad hominem in which he points out that Derrida and others signed some "sexually licentious" petition, or something like that. It is just like his inability to actually debate Mormonism. He cannot do it: it hurts his feelings so much that anyone would criticize his "sacred, dear, and beloved" LDS Church that all he can do is respond by vilifying this "Liberal" red herring.

E.g., if you point out that the Church's teachings on sexuality are repressive and backwards, he reacts by going on a diatribe on "the Betty-Friedan liberal cult of Hefner's seventies lack of a moral compass." That's all he's got.

I recall that he used that line on me when I said that I found Joseph Smith's sexual practices disturbing. Weird that not approving of men sneaking around behind their wives' backs with other women is equal to approving of Hugh Hefner's lifestyle. Oh, well.
