Don't hold your breath. What you cite is the feminine masochist side of Christianity. One of the more elementary clinical insights is that when you see M, all you have to do is dig a little deeper and S is there somewhere, maybe a bit hidden, maybe not so much. It's helpful to recognize Christian faith as an ideologized manifestation of sado-masochistic character structure, organized along lines of gender. It'll be a while before these guys' sadistic impulses give out. The sermon on the mount is one of the more meretricious biblical texts. Christopher Rhoades Dÿkema
