Wouldn't that be the ultimate poetic justice on the Christian religious evangelical movement if Jesus were gay?!!!
I gotta go to the parientals, but Merry Happy Christmas fucking and Happy Festivus to all!
My daughter asked me yesterday if we could get a Festivus pole for next year. She said it takes too long to decorate the tree.
I laughed my ass off ~ if only she could see the comments on this blog earlier in the week!

progressives need to buy a teevee station.
merica is all about teevee - this is how the masses are controlled.
think about it - a progressive channel on par with fauxnews and a newspaper on par with washtimes!!!
either that idea or the blue states need to secede. Seriously - what do the red states have that we need?
NOTHING we cant get from the rest of the world.
I hate livin in a country where the majority thinks women's choice is baby-killing and 'kill a fag for jesus' is a popular tee-shirt.
merry f-ing xmas!!!!

Merry Christmas to one and all here!
And yes, that includes the trolls.
Jesus taught us to treat ALL others as we ourselves would be treated. He taught us to love our enemies, and pray for those who would despise us.
(That Jesus was kinda liberal, wasn't he? That's why I follow him...)
Peace and joy to you all!

"Holiday threat", Atrios? Was the Warning Level elevated to red for the season? Shouldn't that be leavened with a bit of gree, as well?
Hmm, what's the biggest holiday threat here in the States - credit card debt, fat-ingestion-related cardiac infarctions, drunken family brawls involving carving knives, DWIs, house fires from unattended candles, spills, sprains and broken bones. It's too diffuse a holiday to really have a major terrorist attack, because we're at home and shops are closed.
So are the holiday threats mainly internal, as always?

O YE SINNERS!
JESUS WAS NOT GAY. GOD WILL SMITE THEE!
JUDAS WAS! And he sold out OUR LORD AND SAVIOR so he could buy a Spartan Male-Warrior Lapdancer and engage in sodomous acts.
THIS IS BIBLICAL TRUTH.
Everyone knows Jesus the Christ was blonde, slim, well-dressed, dined with the finest Romans, had a seaside resort, and a really cool stock portfolio.
AND YE CAN TOO! REDEEM THYSELVES! GIVE TO REV. FRED--I SHALL HEAL THEE OF SIN.

BETHLEHEM -- It was rumored today that an unmarried couple from
Nazareth stopped in a manger owned by Alfredo Pinchi, a notorious
local slumlord, and a baby was born.
"There was no running water, and the place was filled with straw,"
commented local public health authorities. "We even found a
donkey inside!"
"The mother gave birth under extremely questionable circumstances,"
offered Pontius Pilate, Judean candidate for District Attorney.
"She claims to have been a virgin."
Unconfirmed reports indicate that Roman authorities are
investigating the baby on charges of sedition and treason. "There
are a bunch of people running around alleging that the baby is the
son of God," explained Pilate, "and that he will have some radical
ideas about religion in the future."
Three Kings from the Orient were caught on the outskirts of
Bethlehem by the Roman Border Patrol, carrying illegal contraband.
"We caught them red-handed with frankincense and myrrh," explained
an official with the Border Patrol. "And they didn't have any papers." The Kings were promptly arrested and deported to Syria.
More on this story as it develops....

OK, I know it's a lesbian stereotype to drive a Subaru, but we support the gay-friendly car company. Subaru's reputation has finally caught notice with the wingnuts, too. It looks like the "Concerned Women of America" wants to punish them (and Avis).
Read their nonsense -- it gives you all the reasons why you should contact Subaru and Avis to thank them for their willingness to court the gay market. I also included some Actual Freeper Quotes.

Gay, straight, asexual -- if he even existed at all -- Jesus is supposed to be a being of love, who spent his time trying to make people's lives better. Feeding the poor, tending the sick, hope to the hopeless, defeat to the defeatless, you know.
What any of that has to do with the evangelical psychopaths running the religious talking points in the US these days, I haven't a clue.

Maybe I'll watch The Last Temptation of Christ again today. I always thought it made more sense that, if Jesus was made human for a reason, part of that reason was living like a man, and that whole last half-hour with his "normal life" made his being crucified more devastating -- almost enough to make me understand why more religious persons than me believe.

"JESUS WAS GAY
David...have you sent this to any of the rabid wing-nut sites?
Their little heads'd be poppin' like Orville Redenbachers' best."
not long after the dali lama escaped tibet the vatican sent an envoy to investigate and begin a dialog with what at that time was a new and mysterious buddhist sect. after being quizzed by the (i believe) jesuit priest the monk at the meeting (not the lama) asked about this fellow jesus. as the translation of the priest's explanation of the death and resurrection proceeded the monk seemed more and more uncomfortable until he finally blurted out "you mean to say you worship a ghoul???!!!"
of course, you never know with translators...

Mary the Mag led Jesus' posse, she got bad press from Paul who felt he should have been the crew boss and started a whisper campaign in Rome to talk trash about her behind her back. Next thing you know his tabloid version of things is the only story in the vaults of the Times New Roman paper of record when Constantine announces the new order of things.

Is there a point to Jesus was gay? No wonder the fundies hate you assholes.
I'm not a believer but I don't see the point in making fun of other's beliefs.
Well, asshole, it's only "making fun" if you think therre's something wrong w/ being gay. The fundies do; you do; we don't. Do you know he wasn't gay? In a culture where everyone married early, he never married. He ran around w/ a group of 12 men. He may well have been gay. Not daring to mention it doesn't make it less true. And the funidies hate us because they need someone to hate, not because we won't be nice little liberals. Now, please

Re: Hecate's comment: And the funidies hate us because they need someone to hate, not because we won't be nice little liberals.
Somebody already posted this excerpt from michaelmoore.com, a letter from an advocate for victims of domestic abuse:
Watch [Democrats] awkwardly quote the bible, trying to speak the new language of America. Surf the blogs, and read the comments of dismayed, discombobulated, confused individuals trying to figure out what they did wrong. Hear the cacophony of voices, crying out, "Why did they beat me?"
And then ask anyone who has ever worked in a domestic violence shelter if they have heard this before.
They will tell you: Every single day.
The answer is quite simple. They beat us because they are abusers.

But that was a true story.
Her parents weren't bigots or anti-semites but they just made an incredibly boneheaded remark.
She told me her boyfriend couldn't stop laughing for a week.

Star Wars missile defense is more fiction than science. The program's "boost-phase," has failed a test to target and fire at enemy missiles just after they're launched. The "boost phase," designed to be the first "layer" of defense, against North Korea and Iran, fires rockets at enemy missiles just after launch, when they are most vulnerable.
While the midcourse missile failed a test Dec. 15, the boost phase "would press the far edge of what is physically possible in an antimissile system," according to a report by the Congressional Budget Office. A few weeks ago, the Pentagon said it wouldn't be able to deploy existing pieces of the $50 billion project on schedule because it hadn't been completely tested.
Philip Coyle, who headed the Pentagon's testing office during the Clinton administration, said the design of the boost-phase system was buckling under its own complexity. "The [congressional] analysis confirmed that boost-phase missile defense isn't practicable," Coyle said. "You can't fool mother nature."
Today's missile defense program was inspired by Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, a plan to shield the nation against a nuclear attack. The program languished, partly over concerns it would violate the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (which banned nationwide missile defense systems).
After Bush withdrew from the treaty in 2002, Missile Defense was re-budgeted at $50 billion over the next five years, but its construction, deployment and maintenance could cost several times that.
The system has its critics. Many experts believe that missile defense is a "needlessly costly and complicated system for a threat that could, for example, be more easily neutralized with preemptive strikes." Further, the program's technology has not yet been developed. To shoot down a missile launched from Iran for example, up to 7 interceptor batteries would be needed in Iraq, Turkmenistan and the Gulf of Oman. According to the Congressional Budget Office to intercept a missile from Iran or North Korea, interceptors would have to travel up to 22,000 mph, beyond today's technology.
Accuracy is also a problem. In the Iraq war, Patriot missiles mistakenly downed 2 coalition aircraft. For the boost phase of missile defense, an error of a couple of feet over hundreds of miles traveled to the target could land the missile in another continent.
A year ago, Northrop Grumman won a $4.5-billion contract to develop the boost-phase of missile defense. Northrop Grumman is the second-biggest U.S. defense contractor. In 2003, Northop spent $343,000 (55% to Republicans) on campaign contributions and $6.5 million on lobbying. Robert Helm, Northrop Grumman's vice president of government relations, served as assistant secretary of defense in the

Open up your heart and let the Patrick Swayze Christmas in.
We'll gather at the Roadhouse with our next of kin.
And Santa can be our regular Saturday night thing.
We'll decorate our barstools and gather round and sing.
Oh, let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas this year!
Or we'll tear your throat out and kick you in the ear!
It's my way or the highway, this Christmas at my ba-ha-haar.
I'll have to smash your kneecaps if you bastards touch my car!
I got the word that Santa has been stealing from the till.
I think that that right jolly old elf better make out his will, ohh,
Oh, let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas, one and all.
And this can be the haziest...

Watch Out, Charleston...
We're comin ta getcha!
THE PROBLEM
Christians have actively tried to return the United States to their moral foundations for more than 30 years. We now have a "Christian" president, a "Christian" attorney general, and a Republican Congress and Supreme Court. Yet consider this:
* Abortion continues against the wishes of many States
* Sodomite marriage is now legal in Massachusetts (and coming soon to a neighborhood near you)
* Children who pray in public schools are subject to prosecution 1
* Our schools continue to teach the discredited theory of Darwinian evolution
* The Bible is still not welcome in schools except under unconstitutional FEDERAL guidelines
* The 10 Commandments remain banned from public display
* Sodomy is now legal AND celebrated as "diversity" rather than condemned as perversion
* Preaching Christianity will soon be outlawed as "hate speech" 1 2
Attempts at reform have proven futile. Future elections will not stop the above atrocities, but rather will exacerbate them and lead us down an even more deadly path.
THE SOLUTION
So what can be done? ChristianExodus.org offers the opportunity to try a strategy not yet employed by Bible-believing Christians. Rather than spend resources in continued efforts to redirect the entire nation, we will redeem States one at a time. Millions of Christian conservatives are geographically spread out and diluted at the national level. Therefore, we must concentrate our numbers in a geographical region with a sovereign government we can control through the electoral process.
ChristianExodus.org is orchestrating the move of thousands of Christians to reacquire our Constitutional rights and, if necessary to attain these rights, dissolve our State's bond with the union. Click on our Plan of Action page to find out how we can experience God-honoring governance once again.
If you are tired of government-endorsed sin, then stand up and be counted!
They hate us for our freedoms, i guess?

FORMER FRENCH HOSTAGE: “IRAQI MILITANTS WANTED BUSH RE-ELECTED!”
By Associated Press, 12/24/2004 06:21
PARIS (AP) French journalists held hostage for four months in Iraq said their militant captors told them they wanted President Bush to win re-election.
In a four-page account of their ordeal, one of the reporters, Georges Malbrunot, also wrote that they saw several other hostages who were later decapitated. The journalists said their captors viewed foreign businessmen working in Iraq as their enemies.
One of the captors from the group calling itself the Islamic Army in Iraq said Bush's re-election would boost their cause, Malbrunot wrote in Friday's edition of Le Figaro, the French daily he works for.
''We want Bush because with him the American troops will stay in Iraq and that way we will be able to develop,'' Malbrunot cited the captor as saying.
Bush beat Democrat John Kerry to win the presidency last month.
Another captor, who described himself as the group's head of internal intelligence, told the men that the Islamic Army has four enemies: American and coalition troops, ''their collaborators, that is to say Italian businessmen, or even French,'' as well Iraqi police and spies.
Malbrunot wrote that the Islamic Army has 15,000 to 17,000 members and that its hostage-takings are carefully organized.
''There are those who stop people on the roads, those that carry out interrogations, those that keep guard and those that judge,'' he wrote.
He and fellow French reporter Christian Chesnot feared at times that they would be killed, he said.
Others hostages they saw who were later decapitated included two Macedonians, an Iraqi power station executive and a bodyguard for Ahmad Chalabi, a candidate in next month's Iraqi elections and a one-time Pentagon favorite, he recounted.
Malbrunot, 41, and Chesnot, 38, were released Tuesday.
In a separate interview on RTL radio, Malbrunot said it would take time to recover from their ordeal. ''Sleeping, for example, is hard,'' he said.
''But the life of a free man is far easier than that of a hostage,'' he added.

Actually, I don't mind Mormons too much. Their perpetual smarmy smiles, pasted onto their White Bread heads, are a little creepy, but in my personal experience with them they generally keep to themselves. [Except when they're paired up as missionaries, but the I always view the little 21 y.o. Mormon hotties as a recruiting opportunity ]

US families of dead raise 600,000 dollars for Fallujah refugees
AFP: 12/23/2004
LOS ANGELES, Dec 23 (AFP) - Families of US troops killed in the offensive on the Iraqi city of Fallujah are to travel to Jordan next week with 600,000 dollars worth of humanitarian aid for refugees of the attack.
The November assault on Fallujah left 71 US military dead, according to the families, and the Iraqi government said more than 2,000 Iraqis were killed.
"This delegation is a way for me to express my sympathy and support for the Iraqi people," said Rosa Suarez of Escondido in California.
"The Iraq war took away my son's life, and it has taken away the lives of so many innocent Iraqis. It is time to stop the killing and to help the children of Iraq," she added in a statement released by the families.
The families said with peace groups, physicians' organisations and relatives of the September 11, 2001 attacks victims, they raised 100,000 dollars in an internet appeal. Humanitarian groups such as Middle East Children's Alliance and Operation USA contributed 500,000 dollars worth of medical supplies.
The families are to fly to Amman on December 26 and hand over the supplies to humanitarian and medical workers there.

From the article about ex-gays, provided by David Ehrenstein:
"OK, time to get into the hot seat!" the leader of the Fellow Warrior support group announces. I'm herded over to the coffee table in the center of a small back room in a crappy two-story office complex. I sit down and bow my head. Suddenly, 12 Fellow Warriors -- or "ex-gays," as their propaganda calls them -- put their hands on my body, most particularly the shoulders and upper torso, and the preying begins. Like freestyle rappers coming to the mike, each takes a turn caressing my sensitive nipples, gently tracing the outline of my smooth, firm pecs....

ABBA is cool. Although, "Dancing Queen" was kinda ruined for me in college. It was circa 1986, long after ABBA was over, and a guy who lived in the dorm below me played DQ constantly, over and over, night and day. He was a weird guy: Korean, neo-Nazi, and obviously an ABBA fan.

journey of the magi
'a cold coming we had of it,
just the worst time of the year
for a journey, and such a long journey:
the ways deep and the weather sharp,
the very dead of winter.'
and the camels galled, sore-footed, refractory,
lying down in the melting snow.
there were times we regretted
the summer palaces on slopes, the terraces,
and the silken girls bringing sherbet.
then the camel men cursing and grumbling
and running away, and wanting their liquor and women,
and the night-fires going out, and the lack of shelters,
and the cities hostile and the towns unfriendly
and the villages dirty and charging high prices:
a hard time we had of it.
at the end we preferred to travel all night,
sleeping in snatches,
with the voices singing in our ears, saying
that this was all folly.
then at dawn we came to a temperate valley,
wet, below the snow line, smelling of vegetation;
with a running stream and a water-mill beating the darkness,
and three trees on the low sky,
and an old white horse galloped away in the meadow.
then we came to a tavern with vine-leaves over the lintel,
six hands at an open door dicing for pieces of silver,
and feet kicking the empty wine-skins.
but there was no information, and so we continued
and arrived at evening, not a moment too soon
finding the place; it was (you may say) satisfactory.
all this was a long time ago, i remember,
and i would do it again, but set down
this set down
this: were we led all that way for
Birth or Death? there was a Birth, certainly,
we had evidence and no doubt. i had seen birth and death,
but had thought they were different; this Birth was
hard and bitter agony for us, like Death, our death.
we returned to our places, these Kingdoms,
but no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation,
with an alien people clutching their gods.
i should be glad of another death.

I guess my favorite ABBA song is When All Is Said And Done. It's a little hard to listen to because it reminds me so much of Dan who died. He introduced me to ABBA way back when I was about 18.

The neighborhood polling house that I voted at back in November had GIANT Bush Cheney banners all over it for months before the election.
I just drove by it again this morning and it had a GIANT Jesus in front of the house, with Happy Birthday Jesus signs everywhere. The Jesus was bigger than the house.
Has anyone got any spare tin foil?

Have only commented a couple times, and usually near the end of a thread, but want to thank you for all the laughs you have given me. Especially enjoy when you go into books, music etc. For the young who get disillusioned by events, remember the world hasn't ended, but needs you to fight on. Peace.

Slomo,
The Mormons are an authortarian cult. The suicide rate of Mormon teens is above average. Their beliefs on masturbation and homosexuality has taken its toll among them. Also, they do not believe in equality for women and minorities.
Plenty of books/webpages out there to explain in further detail.
Yeah, I'd love to see the xtian fundies moved into Utah. When the dust settled the world would probably be a better place.

Homosexuality left a bad taste in my mouth.
Brown Eye of Newt
All we're trying to do in the gay rights movement is lessen those pitfalls for younger gay teens who have up to a 7 times greater suicide rate than hetero teens and ourselves and they fight us relentlessly for it. Not asking for anybody to like us but if they're going to be so nasty and hateful, I at least want to wave the fact back at them that I have the same rights they have.
And we will.

All we're trying to do in the gay rights movement is lessen those pitfalls for younger gay teens who have up to a 7 times greater suicide rate than hetero teens and ourselves and they fight us relentlessly for it.
Actually, we're trying to do a bit more than that. Like ensure basic property transfer rights, tax benefits, health insurance, hospital visitation, etc....

Well, asshole, it's only "making fun" if you think therre's something wrong w/ being gay. The fundies do; you do; we don't. Do you know he wasn't gay? In a culture where everyone married early, he never married. He ran around w/ a group of 12 men. He may well have been gay. Not daring to mention it doesn't make it less true. And the funidies hate us because they need someone to hate, not because we won't be nice little liberals. Now, please

by somebody else. Girl singer, with

Anybody have a clue who might have

Seriously --
When I die, I'd appreciate any movement
from Vaughan Williams; Fifth symphony.
Got me through the Kennedy assasination.
Don't know why, though. I think
it just happened to be played on WQXR, which
was the local classical station.
If you've never heard it, it's
serapically beautiful. In a Celtic
sort of way.

Wow, the tolerance in this romm is infintesimally less than that which you profess that I have. Hey, I'm not a Christian, nor a "homophobe". I couldn't care less what consensual hole you stick your lil' peepee in tonight. If someone makes a joke, it does not make them a hateful little creep, even if you find it unfunny. What's funny is people here calling themselves God and ΤΏΤ accusing others of name stealing. I love this new moniker more than ΤΏΤ likes rectal prolapse. Get over yourselves. Nobody cares. Just get your Range Rover out of the fucking left lane.

Oops, I forgot to put some crunchy cat chow out but String let me know by ambushing my leg and leading me to his empty bowl. He's happily crunching away again.
So far I've been blessed to not hear, Grandma Got Runnover By Some Reindeer. If I can somehow manage to get through the rest of this year without that song heard played, I'll consider it a success.

I'm going on record here as saying
that the single most beautful sound

Electric or acoustic.

They study this and believe our domesticated animals after having adapted along side us for about 10 to 20 thousand years understand us perfectly. Especially cats. Scientists who study it say even a cats meow is supposed to mimic a baby's cry to get us to respond.

Look guys, George W Bush isn't gay. He just likes Karl Rove. A lot. He also likes wearing jumpsuits, and occasionally, funny-looking beige jackets when he's out with the troops. Is any of that against the law?

Yes about the 12-string. I also think that acoustic very rarely works in rock, but that one does.
(I will confess to a weakness for banjos and bagpipes though. Now I'll cringe and walk away into my Big Country dream.)

You know I love that. Partridge is basically a god as far as I'm concerned. The other day, I was watching a video of videos while wrapping presents and my teen came in during "Dear God."
"I kinda like your music, Mom."

I know about the dog studies. There is a Science article about this (although you need a member logon to read it online). See this blog entry:
So how has this tightly coupled evolution affected our relationship with the little woofer? Cognitive research shows that dogs respond to human social cues better than any other animal, including our assumed ancestor, the chimpanzee and their closest extant relative, the wolf. So when you look into your dogs eyes, and you think there is something more there than a blank stare, there probably is.
Dog knows, Gabi can read my mind...

watertiger, I've been to every store in town looking for "Orgasm Addict" by the Buzzcocks, but all I get is funny and sometimes downright angry stares from the salespersons.
Any record store salesclerk who does not know that song should be fired immediately. Of course, in this day of $6.50 an hour retail jobs, most people behind the sales counters don't know shit about the products their stores are selling anyway. Ability to work a cash register is the only job requirement, and sometimes not even that.
