Every Law of God and Man
Oct. 2nd, 2003 09:31 amFunny, 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.

However, the way things are now, it forces everyone to actually think about what they believe, which is all God wanted in the first place.
I find it highly amusing that the same bible can give rise to Christians like me and Christians like Jerry Falwell. Of course, I think Jerry Falwell is a self-righteous prick who uses religion for selfish ego-boosting, but I'm sure he considers me an unreligious wanker who's going to hell anyways.
