At any rate, I'm beginning to suspect that the extremist Christians and the extreme Right-Wingers are seeing the writing on the wall... their days are numbered and they're panicking. They're grasping at straws, and desperately trying to keep their woefully and laughably outdated views, relevant.

The rest of the world, and even other Christians and Conservatives, have progressed, but these extremists are afraid of change, and they cling desperately to beliefs that linger from the days when the Pilgrims pushed their way into this country.

So... laugh and be merry, my friends. If we weren't making progress and if we weren't winning the good fight, then they wouldn't be so ridiculously desperate.

Now, I'm off to eat dinner... greasy pepperoni pizza! MMMM!
Gimme pizza over a cookie any day!

Cool Ya know...

I feel we will see a return to the religious brutality of the Salem witch trials, Where the religious-right-a-tards will try to make us change our beliefs to suit theirs or die...

As the way of the samurai I will GLADLY chose death before dishonor.

Ya know, what bull****. Gimme a break. Next thing I'll know is my far right grandmother down in the Bible belt region will be calling me telling me not to let Sara watch it anymore. If he is gay, so be it. It teaches her tolerance and respect for others.

I'm so sick of this holier-then-thou ****.

I mean, really. How can some go through life so narrowminded? You won't get anywhere. I'm thinking if you're bitching about other peoples personal and private lives, then you must not be very happy with your own.

GET A LIFE!!!

Ya know - I just got back from seeing the movie "Kinsey" - that man was a scientist and his work helped liberate thousands if not millions from oppression - and I am talking about people that were taught to believe that anything but the missionary position was evil, vile, and unforgiveable. He helped people realize that the act of sex is a biological function, etc. Yet, the moral majority went into an UPROAR - they even had a Congressional hearing related to it. Thank God for showing us the way out of that repression

I thought that was a great movie, too. And you know I was crying when he was thinking that nothing had changed and everything he had done had been in vain and then that lesbian was telling him how he saved her life and she and her partner were together and happy because he gave them the confidence to declare their love for each other. I loved that.

FAAAAAAAAAAAAABULOUS movie. Neeson should and probably will win the Oscar.

The right-wing fundies have been screaming bloody murder about that movie, trying to get theaters to drop it. Their big argument is that he ushered in AIDS and that he made pedophilia popular.
