So there are three "Christian" pastors who wanted the courts to invalidate the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act because "thought crimes," so they filed suit with the total assholeThomas More Law Center, saying basically "WAH, Orwell and stuff! Animal Farm! Two legs bad! We will not be able to urge the stoning of homosexuals as prescribed in Leviticus!" and the court was all "yeah, idiots, you do not have standing to sue to overturn this law unless you are actually wanting to drag a man behind your car? You do not actually want to drag a man behind your car, do you? You just want to say hateful shit? STILL PROTECTED, and you got no standing to sue." (The court did describe the "Christian" pastors' speech as
That was one of the best moments- of many- of the series. And, if I recall, I believe that the bitch in question was, at that moment, eating a - wait for it- crab puff.
Except for where, in Gen 2, Adam is lonely, and God makes the animals to keep him company (and Adam gets to name eight million species - good thing he lived for several centuries!) The Fundies seem to prefer Gen 1, where God makes the critters first, and then makes Adam to serve as the boss. No particular reason for choosing one over the other, but they are forced to explain away whichever one they decide isn't literally true.
Whoa, whoa, whoa ... Pretty much everyone in Leviticus 20 gets put to death. And what about <a href="http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/\?search=Leviticus 19&amp\;version=NIV" target="_blank">Leviticus 19</a>? Specifically Leviticus 19:19: <i> ...19 &ldquo;&lsquo;Keep my decrees.
&ldquo;&lsquo;Do not mate different kinds of animals.
&ldquo;&lsquo;Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed.
&ldquo;&lsquo;Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material. </i> So, mules are forbidden? And blended fabrics? And I&#039;m not sure what to make of the rest.
Lots of weird shit in the Bibble (not just Leviticus), which the fundies find various excuses to say is NOT literal, as opposed to the stuff that IS literal, which is obviously different because, hey, they want to believe SOME of this weird shit, just not ALL of it, and they get to choose because ... ehhh, they never do explain that. (Like why Genesis I is literally true, and Genesis II, meh, not so much.)
According to everyone on my hometown TV station&#039;s Facebook page, the First Amendment allows public figures to trash gays but it does not allow the public figures to be trashed themselves. It&#039;s an interesting interpretation.
Viaduct?
Belated Darlington County upfist.
Death for almost everybody! Fines for those who induce a miscarriage!
Just a remark that it&#039;s impressive when a fairly simple observation (BTW, I agree with you) can start up such a wide ranging comment stream.
Wait a mo. WTF is a &quot;trespass offering&quot;?
Hate the sin, hate the fuckers.
Winner winner...chicken dinner.

Looks like Utopia is a ways off yet.

Might as well sprinkle a bit of Parmesan on them while you&#039;re at it.
That&#039;s why they don&#039;t want gays as neighbors, doh.
