“Do no think that I came to destroy the law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill…Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven…” Matthew 5:17-19.

Paul was a charlatan. Paul subverts the law (by making circumcision unnecessary in Galatians) and makes it possible for gentiles to convert to Christianity without having their cocks mutilated. Circumcision is part of the law which Jesus “did not come to destroy”. Paul destroys it, in the name of Jesus and starts a worldwide religion based upon this perversion. Christianity and Paul are inseperable, but along the same token, let’s face it, the guy was a self-contradictory egomaniac who obviously would stop at nothing to see himself at the head of the new Christian faith. Dismiss him and his stupid writings on homosexuality, women and eating practices and you’ve got a better idea of what Christianity MIGHT have become.

…also, don’t forget the other gay cartoons – sponge bob squarepants, tinky winky and Barney. Well, maybe not Barney, but he sure could be a catholic priest, a hairdresser or a florist and we all know where their tendancies lie… add him to the list too.

The warfare, murdering and hi speed car chases and available women in gaming and TV don’t seem to be on the religious radar – but the gay love is much more important to fight for them. Why?

BTW – What religious organizations determine the sexual preference for non-sexual television cartoons? This is a great job for someone. It fills a valuable need in our cartoons. Can I get a paying job like that? I have a resume ready.

Nuff said?

Bravo Fox/Gruenig/Simpsons!

The issue is not that big, really. Except to those who choose to make it big. Live and let live. Let the children watch a wedding. It isn’t pornography, for God’s sake. Our government is in the business of defining marriage right now, so why can’t we see TV about it?

So would some prefer a lesbian “legitimately” marrying a man? That is worse to me than 2 lesbians marrying.

I know gay people who marry the opposite sex for the wrong reasons – to fool others into thinking they are not gay/lesbian.

Is that a legitimate marriage?
Is that the preference for the religious right?
Is that what Paul meant in the bible?

If so, I disagree with that! I would not want my daughter to marry a gay man. I would rather see 2 gay men or 2 lesbians marry each other.

I’m interested to see your response.

I say Kudos to the Simpson’s & a bigger Kudos to Fox.

America wake up and realize that your children know more than you did at this age. Whether you live in the clouds or are open to your children about social issues. Children are having sex or sexual conversations at 8 years old. This is nothing to do with your upbringing, or teachers etc. Some of these children are having babies and still are babies. If only life was the way it was when you were young. BUT IT IS NOT FOR THIS REASON I KNOW THAT GOD LOVES EVERYMAN IT’S GREATER FOR THEM TO KNOW LOVE THAN NOT TO KNOW IT AT ALL>

I thought the Simpsons episode was great. As normal the Simpsons have pushed the edge of “conventional” televison programing.
But my question is…the only people that I know watch the Simpsons are people who are above the age of “child”. What parent in their right mind would let their child watch this show? Even if they did, what child is going to understand what it even means?
But even if it did, would that be so wrong? Why do we feel the need to constantly shelter children? The Simpsons are honest, over-exaggerated and real. Not sugar-coated or edited.

We’ve only seen pics in the paper about the episode over here, god knows how long it will be before we actually get to see the damn thing? Maybe it’s the comic geek in me (and I’m doing academic writing on sexuality and batman), but applying real-world sexual identity to fantastical characters is a bit odd. How do we know that Simpson character even have genitals? they may not be sexual the same way real people are.

yes, Groening et al should have known better than to upset the timeworn sanctity of the ‘public mood.’ rotfl. oh man, just when i thought we were living in 1984, it turns out we’re actually living in 1954!

Same-sex Marriage in the Philippines

I was caught off-guard when I read a Boingboing post about a gay marriage in the Philippines. In a country where divorce is not yet legalized, where GLBTs are still generally frowned/laughed upon, and where traditional Catholic values are still
