I've read it through a few times, I can't really tell what exactly the writer's point is. Or if he even has one. I just know that this part amuses me:
First, there was the tantalizing item in the league’s daily e-mail newsletter of April 19, in which the group announced that, the U.S. Constitution notwithstanding, certain religions “which worship the forces of darkness” should be banned. “There is no room in a modern age for superstitions which contravene reasonable standards of ethics,” wrote the nameless author (probably league executive director Michael Heath), “or which seek to manipulate the forces of darkness by casting spells and incantations.”
That seems like a pretty good description of the U.S. Congress, but that doesn’t appear to be the author’s target. Among those singled out for banning are Wiccans, pagans and Gnostics (defined by the league as anybody who’s read “The Da Vinci Code” or plans to see the movie). These fiends are responsible for, among other outrages, Goth fashions, tattoos and Spike TV.
