Here's what I had to say to some jerk who is anti-gay and started using the Bible to justify his bigoted view of homosexuals.

Some of you people subscribe to the Jerry Falwell definition of what it means to be a Christian - but what is so amusing about these types is that they cling to the literal word so tightly on some occasions, and then ignore the literal word on other occasions. Hypocrites, all of them. If you believe in strictly interpreting Leviticus, then you also believe in condemning to death anyone who curses the name of the Lord. You would also wash your body and clothes before you sit anywhere your menstruating wife has sat, and also many other things. Do you do all these things as instructed in Leviticus? If not then by your own definition you are not worthy to be called Christian. Don't question my faith, look inward, read the teachings of Jesus and understand that if you condemn homosexuals or anybody else like you do, you will have a very difficult time finding the pearly gates. Worry about your own soul.

Listen, we don't use the Holy Bible as THE basis for our law, and the Christian right has to come to grips with it. There is nothing wrong, unconstitutional, or more importantly anti-Christian about letting homosexual couples have a civil union contract that gives them all of the same legal protections, benefits and such that straight married couples have. You can protect marriage and be for civil unions. Do you believe everyone in America should be equal in the eyes of the law? Isn't that the way that it's supposed to be? There are homosexual couples raising kids all over the USA and the reality of that situation renders inadequate far-right definitions of family. These people ARE families and the law should not discriminate against those families in a society where everyone is supposed to be equal under the law.

I finally have a country to call my own!

The People's Republic of Weeniedom

Motto: "We'll take that income! Cha-ching!"
UN Category: Left-wing Utopia
Civil Rights: Superb
Political Freedoms: Superb
Economy: Basket Case
Location: the West Pacific

The People's Republic of Weeniedom is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 64%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Crime is totally unknown. Weeniedom's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the credit.

Thanks so much to (e:Paul), (e:Matthew), and (e:Terry) for putting together a great party and for making Josh and I feel welcome. We didn't know too many people going in but everyone was so cool and needless to say we had an awesome time. I was happy to meet everyone and get in the huddle for some good conversation and fun. I want to also say that (e:Hodown) is down as hell and definitely one of the coolest ladies I've met. No doubt I was trippin on some drink and whatnot but hopefully I represented 750 properly. It was great to meet all of you. Hopefully we'll have occasion to party it up again soon!
