Back on the subject of adults posting public tantrums online. http://www.nbc-2.com/story/29448228/employee-says-he-was-fired-over-facebook-post#.VZqCp_lVhBf A former digital marketing specialist posted:How is marrying a dog different if you love them?," he wrote. "Today I hope we can focus on doggy-style love. I love my dog Rocco, and he loves me. Hopefully one day we can be married. I'm eagerly awaiting his upcoming GoFundMe where he needs good christians to come together in the face of being persecuted by gays for his sincerely held belief in dog loving.

The Macaroni posted:His writings are in the canonized text of the New Testament and he was profoundly influential in the spread of Christianity beyond people of Jewish descent. So whether you like him or not, he's there to stay for a while yet. Aside from that, I would venture that many Christians aren't aware that many scriptures they like to cite come from Paul and not Jesus--but then again, many Christians believe in Biblical infallibility and that the good Lord Himself would have prevented Paul's letters from being in the King James Bible if He wanted it to be so. Paul was also an incredibly goony motherfucker who barely tolerated the idea of heterosexual marriage (you should be a celibate priest/monk/nun in his opinion) who spends half the New Testament getting told by Jesus to cut that judgmental poo poo out, God loves everyone.

The Macaroni posted:Holy poo poo, I didn't either. What a wonderfully Christian response by the bakers. Pretty sure the Sermon on the Mount said, "If anyone smites you on one cheek, post his drat info on Facebook already!" Ugh. Well, none of them came from Jesus since he was an illiterate carpenter.

Mind you Paul ostensibly wrote the epistolaries which contain notorious passages like the part about women in 1 Corinthians or the part that's been interpreted to be about homosexuality in 1 Romans, so I can see confusing the two.

So my extremely right-wing, anti-SCOTUS, anti-federal government friend has been ranting for a week and a half about the Supreme Court usurping the power of the states and inventing rights that don't exist. Meanwhile, his boyfriend has been posting on Facebook that they might get married in a few years. It's kind of adorable.

Actually, there are many cases where a male-to-male cord or connector of any sort can be very useful. I've made my own male-to-male three-prong electrical cord like the one shown here and used it at work quite a lot. e: Like they're assuming the male-to-male cord is pointless and "unnatural," but it's really just uncommon, but if you need one there's nothing wrong with using it. They suck at this.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:“Probably jail,” added Justice Anthony Kennedy. “But it’s okay because at the heart of liberty is the right to define your own concept of existence, of persecution, of your prison cell, and who knows, maybe even elimination for the greater good if you keep trying to exercise your religion instead of just worshiping your God in private like a good citizen.”

I've never seen a male to male electrical extension cord, but I use male to male cables all the time for computers Female to female as well. Most Coaxial cables are male to male as well, It's really unusual to find one that's male to female.

By comparing it to a tool that, while uncommon, is actually quite useful and I have one (I think they think it doesn't exist and it's a fantasy tool). And tools aren't human beings. And not carrying a particular item is not the same as refusing service to a person. And  e: they even ripped that image from a real one being sold on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Dual-Male-12-Gauge-Connection-Extension/dp/B0035Z13FI so they must be aware that this is actually a real product that is useful sometimes  what the gently caress

Fried Chicken posted:So when the U.S. Women's Soccer team just won their finals match against Japan, in the TV coverage of the post whistle celebration, Abbey Wambach ran over to the sidelines and kissed her wife. And it wasn't a thing. There wasn't shock or surprise or pearl clutching. It was just treated as a winning player celebrating with their spouse. Well, there wasn't any pearl-clutching on the part of the commentators, but a few Christian news outlets are complaining that Abbey "performed a lesbian act in front of the whole stadium!" They ignore the whole "it was a celebratory kiss" thing and make it seem like they were having sex right there on the field. It's sad, but not really surprising, how much anti-gay people are willing to exaggerate and omit in order to make it seem like normal gay people are the degenerates their worldview requires them to be. If you take their word for it, when Michael Sam kissed his boyfriend after being drafted, they were sloppily making out and snarfing cake off each other's faces in front of a weeping statue of Jesus. FAUXTON posted:They're human garbage who believe their religious liberty is infringed when they can't treat gay people like second-class citizens and it makes me fairly happy to see them wailing and gnashing their teeth when they get slapped with lawsuits and forced to pay settlements over it. They PRETEND to wail and gnash their teeth, sure, but most Christian "victims of persecution" in this debate are getting exactly what they want. The bakers and county clerks get fame and money for being modern martyrs, and the Evangelical lawyer associations get to push the "we're under attack! We need to fight back and elect Godly men to lead us!" narrative. I heard the owner of that cake shop on the radio the other day, talking about how America was founded on Christian principles and how we need to pass laws more in-harmony with God's law. They're now members of the Evangelical noise machine, and they couldn't be happier.

Cockmaster posted:As I understand, Christian control freaks handwave that away by claiming that the completed covenant only shuts down the Old Testament's "ritual law", and that its "moral law" is still in effect. Where "moral law" refers to "whatever back-asswards bullshit we're peomoting" and "ritual law" refers to "any Old Testament passages one might use to discredit the idea of treating the Bible like an instruction manual".

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Catholic Vote (creators of the "Not Alone" video decided to try their hand at humor I googled "male to male extension cord" and the first three picture results were of that exact one they used. The first one linked to an amazon page where you can buy it. Edit: Apparently male to male cords like these can actually be pretty dangerous. They're called "suicide cords". I guess if you wanted to imply two dudes going at it would electrocute someone, or cause a house fire, it would make for a good metaphor.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Catholic Vote (creators of the "Not Alone" video decided to try their hand at humor This makes sense now since both ends of the extension cord have to plug into holes so they represent heterosexuality. I guess the extension cord is kind of swingers but still not gay sex involved.

They're more dangerous because, once plugged into a socket, you have live exposed prongs on the other side. So it's easy to accidentally shock yourself.

CapnAndy posted:And, as always, Slacktivist is your best friend if you want to play on their turf and still tear that dumb bullshit to shreds. Fred Clark is consistently the best Christian blogger on earth, because he tears their stupidity apart from the inside. I use his No, private charity can't handle it alone article in facebook arguments about welfare pretty regularly. Between him and the Methodist church I grew up in, I always thought Methodists were some of the more sane Protestants, but I keep hearing that they're not as progressive as I thought. Maybe it just varies by church.

TheKennedys posted:Maybe it just varies by church. Protestants as a rule. I grew up going to a Southern Baptist church that was very active with the city's homeless, approved of women as church staff and leaders, and was hugely supportive of the Civil Rights movement. Your mileage will vary, obviously, and I now go to a Lutheran church with a happily married lesbian pastor. The Methodist Church's biggest problem with social areas in the West is that almost all of the Methodist Church's growth has been in Africa, giving the African division of the church a very powerful and influential voice in the church's politics and the African branch is extremely conservative as you might expect. There's a serious chance that if the Methodist Church moves to approve same-sex marriages and perform same-sex wedding ceremonies it would schism the entire church. Might seem odd to some Americans, but as a rule in worldwide Christian churches the North American branch is typically the most liberal in the world.

As opposed to all the times that a bakery or whatever was willing to do business with a person up until the moment they learned they were gay and refused to sell what they would sell to a straight couple.
