Humiliation: It's not just a hobby, it's a fucking ART.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a Facebook profile. I know that Facebook as a whole is generally frequented by self-absorbed, narcissistic assholes, but it's really the only way I can keep in touch with people. Mostly because I'm a lazy fuck and I hate e-mail. For the most part, Facebook is little more than a gigantic pain in the ass, but every now and then the opportunity for fun (see also: verbal assraping of ignorant shitheads) presents itself. For instance, my friend Aerine joined a group supporting same sex marriage. One of her friends, in much the same capacity as nearly every hate monger on the planet, jumped right on the chance to spread her message of intolerance by stating that homosexuality is a sin. Yes, I'm aware that by punishing her for indiscriminately labeling someone as inferior that I'm breaking irony, but I felt the need to share my reply.

Aerine, sorry if I'm starting a war on your page, but your friend needs to do a bit more research instead of jumping on Jerry Falwell's bandwagon and riding it all the way to wacko house. Lora, like so many things, you have to take the scripture in context. Plucking a few sentences out of the Bible and using them to justify an agenda isn't just fundamentally stupid, it's using God's word as a tool (which, by the way, I'm pretty sure the Big Guy probably takes exception to).
Also, the passages that are being debated (that's right, debated; few people who've studied the earliest available versions of the Good Book agree on their interpretation. Languages that are thousands of years old are funny like that) are from the Old Testament. Y'know, the part of the Bible that says you're in the express lane to Hell if you've ever eaten at Wendy's on a Friday? If memory serves, there was a Guy who regularly went bar hopping and spent a lot of time hanging out with prostitutes who kind of made the Old Testament a moot point. Damn, what was His name again...had that one really shitty day, did this really bad-ass party trick involving water and wine...
Oh, that's right! Jesus! Anyway, He came down and basically made it so that someone could shave their beard, have a few brews, maybe think with the wrong had and sleep with someone that they weren't already married to and NOT spend eternity wishing for a decent SPF, so long as they had Him in their hearts. Think what you want - and I'm sure you will, the Third Reich of sexual orientation always does - but do it twice before you post your uninformed rhetoric where someone with a decent education and more than two functioning brain cells can read it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to being one of the few straight people on the planet who doesn't hate on others because of who they decide to fuck.
