...ridicule the mormon belief that the Garden of Eden was in Missouri without objecting to the beliefs that men turned the Nile into blood, parted the Red Sea, walked on water, turned water into wine and rose from the dead? To the unbelieving, the tenets and traditions of any religion may seem strange or even absurd. Believers understand those teachings on a spiritual level that transcends scientific fact. That's why it's called faith.

If this sentiment merely led individuals to forswear their own possessions, it would be rather harmless for society. But unfortunately, the modern ascetic impulse informs a wide range of misguided policy...
...This past year has taught me many important lessons. I was not surprised that many students and student organizations rose to the occasion, bringing ideas and energy for projects of importance to them from the moment our doors opened. I was caught off guard, however, at the cynicism that greeted the opening of the Center this year on the part of some, who wondered aloud about the relevance of our primary mission (to raise awareness of women’s and gender issues, and to celebrate contributions by women that challenge, motivate and inspire) in the midst of so much...
