I like that, the Treasonous Mainstream. Now THAT is what I should rename the thread, LOL.

I was not familiar with that expression. Had to look it up. Apparently, except for Doonsbury, it's only used as part of "treasonous mainstream media." I hadn't remembered it from Bush's comments.

I long to be part of the Treasonous Mainstream. Can we please be that? I've always aspired to be mainstream, and I think I could just manage to be part of the TM.

Well, as we know, my political preferences are definitely to the left of yours. It would take a status upgrade to get me to "treasonous mainstream." ;-)

As for the secular humanist bit, I guess Camus/Tillich/Bultmann qualifies, but barely, which is where I get my basic theological premises

I love that. Obviously the Center label drew a lot of fire. Let's try something else!
