First commandment: Don't be an asshole

For the Bible Tells Me So

2007
Hey, guess what? Apparently the Bible doesn't oblige us to kill, maim, bash, torture, legislate against, picket, ostracize, or even pray for the cure or people who love not wisely and maybe not always even too well, but just differently from us.

First thought: well, fucking duuuuuhhhhhhh!

Second thought: who gives a flying fiddler's fuck what the Bible says about it, anyway? Yeah, OK, I understand a lot of people do, even a lot of people who aren't necessarily cretins in other respects, but come on: with the arguable exception of the decalogue, none of that shit was writ by the finger of God Him- (or Her-) self, right? It was at best inspired by God but transcribed by people, right? And fer chrissake, people are nothing but Soylent Green fodder, right? So why the fuck would we trust that transcription?

Think, people! Just fucking think.

Did you see the story about the Oklahoma Congresswoman who said in a speech (to a Republican club) that homosexuality was the greatest threat to America today? Worse than terrorism--or even Islam!

Isn't there a profanity rule on Blogger?
