some people don't read much outside their own culture.

"a new national poll reveals that 42 percent of Americans wrongly attribute Marx’s famous communist slogan, “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” to one of the country’s Founding documents. Nearly one in five Americans believe this phrase can be found in the Bill of Rights, of all places. You can take some solace in knowing that among young adults, only six percent made this mistake, though 30 percent of them believe Marx’s statement can be found in either the Federalist Papers, the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution."

while this reflects poorly on the education level of americans (blame that asshole reagan, he did this on purpose), it reflects positively on their political viewpoints.

well, see, here's the thing: she's right about the bible. that really is what the bible says. and that's really how you're supposed to react if you're a christian. god only changed it's nature once, in the switch from judaism to christianity. well, and maybe a third time in the jump to islam, but christians shouldn't concern themselves with that. besides that one change in nature, god's nature doesn't change. those prohibitions are like diamonds; they're forever. it's all written there. christians can't pick and choose like that, and the ones that try really aren't being good christians. she's right on point. she gets it. most self-identified christians seem not to grasp this as well as she does.

she's wrong about the constitution, though. deists and atheists, the lot of them.

i wish they would have panned out to the audience, to expose a sea of blank, stony faces.

hedges has been uncharacteristically rational as of late. here's a good reminder that he's somebody that you want to take with a large grain, and keep your intellectual distance from - even when you agree with him.

he's just a tad unstable, as we can see here.

In all seriousness, folks. I don't really give a shit who you love. Love is love. I would know. I Am Love.

+God actually, you do. you're a delusional asshole for it, but you've made it clear in multiple passages that you're in exclusive support of heteropatriarchy. you can't walk that back; i'm going to hold you to what you said. and, i'm not you, so i don't go for perpetual forgiveness, either.

God
+deathtokoalas I'm too busy putting images of my son on pieces of toast to give a shit about what two men do in their bedrooms.

+God no. you're not walking this back like this. it's in that damned book of yours. repeatedly. you need to own that. you said it, and you meant it.
