  • Ok but I think making that joke using someone else’s minority status is pig behavior. But I was a teenager in the 90s when someone else thinking you’re gay could get you an ass-beating or get you fired from your job or worse (Matthew Shepard). Being an ally to lgbt folks in a lot of ways meant keeping your mouth shut way more than it meant speaking out. Maybe it’s different nowadays.

















  • This is why the Bible is kind of a drag without the new testament. God is emotionally volitile, punitive, and illogical. Jesus provides a framework for redemption, which is what people need here in this life. Reading the new testament, even without the magic and miracles and omnipresent sky-god can give people real ideas about how they should interact with others in this corporeal existence. The old testament feels like kind of a bizarre fairy tale with some historical elements.
