Your theater program produced an Academy Award Nominee. However, you don't want to have anything to do with her because the movie she was nominated for is "not the work of God."

Urgh.

According to the Bible, isn't EVERYTHING the work of God?

[composite word including 'f*ck'] em - they want to live in the stone age.

"Hi, we, the fans of the man who said let he who is without sin cast the first stone and love thy neighbour, don't want anything to do with this piece of queer sh*t. We hate those motherf*ckers. Peace and love baby. Unless you are gay obviously, in which case Jesus left footnotes that says its ok to hate you and judge everything you do. I mean i took it up the ass as a choirboy a lot, but that's different."

You stay classy San Diego.

Your Gay - so god hates Joo!

What DOES the bible acctually say about beign gay, aka what I think is called sodomi?

I have heard it that Jesus the actual person did have several friends that we're sinners, and ex-sinners according to the old testament, and that apparently it was rather probable that one or two of them was probably gay.

It was during that homo eke art-excibit that depicted Jesus among homosexuals, and they had a bible-researcher that was commenting and answering theological questions about the excibit.

That it's on a par with eating lobster and shaving. Ie, for the upper classes only.

Sodomy is the physical act. Derived from the place Sodom, where it went on a bit, apparantly. Verb is to sod.

What DOES the bible acctually say about beign gay, aka what I think is called sodomi?

You want to look at Genesis 19. It's a charming story. Lot was living in the city of Sodom, when two angels arrived. He insisted that they stay in his house, which they did. Soon a crowd of men gathered outside, and they said "Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them." That's "know" in the biblical sense, of course, which in this case is shorthand for "**** them up the arse".

Now Lot was not going to let this crowd come in and gang-bum the two angels he had staying over, so he went outside to meet them and said, "Check it out, this bumming thing isn't cool, but I do have two daughters who are both virgins and well up for it. I'll bring them out and you can gang-rape them instead. Cool, huh?" It kinda goes without saying that Lot had an unusual relationship with his daughters. More akin to pimp-ho than father-daughter, which of course is the sort of thing that the Good Book should be promoting. We'll come back to this.

The crowd were not swayed by this and went to break down the door. One of the angels quickly opened it and pulled Lot inside. He said "Yo homie, we're here to do the Lord's work and we're gonna waste every last one of these mother****ers. Grab your **** and split. Word." Lot told his wife and daughters that they had to get out of there sharpish, and went out to warn his "sons-in-law" - the young men betrothed to his daughters.* The sons-in-law thought Lot was having a laugh and didn't go with him, but Lot, Mrs. Lot and their two daughters left Sodom and headed to nearby Zoar, and God rained down fire and sulphur on Sodom. Mrs. Lot looked back at Sodom and was turned into a pillar of salt. Which begs the question, how did they know it was salt? Did they taste her?

Anyway Lot moved on from Zoar and went to live in the mountains with his two daughters. They decided that they needed to get laid more and so got dad drunk on wine and slept with him. They each had sons: Moab, the father of the Moabites; and Ben-Ammi, the father of the Ammonites; resulting in two of the most inbred tribes the world has seen. And taking the father-daughter/pimp-ho relationship to a whole new level.

And that concludes this week's Bible study class children. Remember: gang-rape and incest are fine as long as they're only happening to girls, but try analling an angel and God will wipe your city off the face of the ****ing planet. Makes you feel all fuzzy inside, dunnit?

*I'm wondering where the angry bum-raping mob from the previous scene has gone at this point, and also where these sons-in-law were when Lot was offering their betrothed up as sex-slaves to the angry bum-raping mob. Nevertheless, we press on...

[edit] I realised I switched tense halfway through writing this originally. Oops.

Ben-Ammi, the father of the Ammonites

And remember - Ammonites are loathsome for they live in the sea with neither scale nor fin. Dawg.

dude, check Jesus out:

- never married
- hung around with guys all the time
- chose beer over wine
- long, girly hair
- Dad owns a gay bar

i mean come on!

Holy ****. I'm Jesus.

Ah yes, we'll do that one next week.

Leviticus: is eating shellfish really as sinful as doing another man up the tradesman's?

Meh, so some shmo decided they didn't like her anymore because she made a film he 'disagreed with'. Sounds like most everyone else around her is very supportive of her decisions and is genuinely proud of her, including people who belong to that same religious school. There's hope yet.

Coupled with Brokeback's steadily climbing box office take across most of the US, after everyone predicted it would die a horrible death everywhere except LA and NYC due to middle-America hating homosexuals or somesuch, I find that very encouraging

Brokeback Mountain is demonstrating to the US audience something that the British series of Queer as Folk showed the UK a little while back, which even some liberal minded individuals I know have a hard time getting their heads around even now: homosexuals are just like everyone else.

Nothing to be feared, and equally nothing theatrical, 'tinseltown' or otherwordly (I'm thinking Queer Eye here, where 'Fairy Godfathers' descend from Hollywood to help poor feeble het guys), just normal people.

If some people want to be morons about it, more fool them I say :3

On the note of Biblical attitudes to homosexuality, for those who caught Dawkin's program on religion he made some fine observations: the Bible seems concerned only with sex between men, rather than homosexuality in general, and even then only in circumstances where it would 'degrade' a man- he used the example where an individual let some random soldiers rape his wife and daughter than a guy whom he had just befriended, pretty much because guys are worth that much more than girls.

Some good ideas, Dawkins. Shame about the individual, really... on a tangent, I thought he undermined a lot of his well made points by falling back on poorly thought out statements like "I believe in evolution", which makes it sound like something that requires faith, rather than a considered opinion that it is probably more likely than creationism (he tended to do that sort of thing when he got aggitated). Also the way that the only counter arguments raised were almost exclusively (1 exception I think?) from fundamentalist freakjobs.

Yeah, he had one liberal on and then berated him fornot believing in repression and so on. Can't win, eh? It's all research for his new book The God Delusion which will come out in September and hopefully will be better thought out when he's not being rattled by Rabbis. I'm looking forward to it, although I suspect that's mostly because I already know I'll agree with all of it anyway.

Now, if I read that stunningly well translated Bible passage correctly, I got this from it.

Homosexuality is bad because homosexuals would rather gang-rape angels than gang-rape virgin women. If someone wants to have gay-gang-rape sex, the best course of action is to offer up your daughter instead.
