Religion
a TFF joke?
The
local project is primarily religious, flanked by entertainment
and business. Is the religion a TFF joke? That's hard to call.
Could the joke be sold to true believers as a missionary ploy?
We want those true believers at the start. We want some weight
in the proposal, some major commitment. It's easy to signal to
any particular audience how to take the joke, to help them fall
down on either side of the tightrope of ambiguity.
The joke
also has appeal for me because the straight transformation route
hasn't gone anywhere. I can't claim to offer that product. And
that may be just as well. The joke has no stress, no promises,
no struggle, no failure. It's much more fun than a grim and fruitless
search for spirituality. And it's a way to relate.
