Every Law of God and Man

[kingandy]

Funny, isn't it, how people pick and choose which passages from the Bible to listen to? There's more space in the bible devoted to the story of Jezebel and the moral of How Bad It Is To Wear Lots Of Makeup than there ever was about how bad gays are. (I'm paraphrasing Seanbaby here.) Now, apparently, big radio talk-show host "Dr" Laura recently quoted the passage in Leviticus that describes homosexuality as an abomination, and somebody posted an open response to this on the intarwebs somewhere. Rather than repost this, I will link to ubernils' post (not the original, but the first one I saw).

In other news, yesterday I found out two very different things about two very different people that changed my perception of both of them. I found out that one of them is the kind of person who will happily invent a persona and pretend to be them on the intarwebs. And I found out that the other one is just a persona and does not, in any real sense of the word, exist. Retrospectively I suppose that was only finding out one thing about one person, but you know what I mean.

Andy, try finding some of Spinoza's philosophy on the web. He was a heretical 17th century Spanish monk that argued that god was the sum of all things in the universe at all points in time. Pantheism I think they call it. Can't get more cosmic than that. Look I found you a link.

What really perplexes me is why anyone would want to worship the old testament god? He's a lying, mass murdering ego maniac, with horrible right wing beliefs. He's a cunt. Maybe being a parent softened him up a bit.

I was going to post what I thought of the bible and why all gods are fictional creations, but it was threatening to become a massive essay so I deleted it. Maybe I'll post in on my LJ.

Having skimmed that Spinoza stuff, I am reminded that I decided God is a giant talking galaxy the last time I watched Godfellas.
