Allowable Marriage: According To The Bible (Chart)

Many people today believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible.  They believe that it is actually the word of god.  Since the book of Leviticus says that men lying together "are an abomination", then, in their minds, 6000 years later, obviously god doesn't want people to be having gay sex.  That being said, I thought I would share the other types of marriages that are permissible, according to the Bible.  Pay attention.

Now, the whole rapist/victim match up...that is an abomination.  However, I think the brother-in-law thing still takes place in West Virginia. (shudders)

Video: KY Airing National Commercial Featuring Lesbian Couple

For years, we have all seen the clever commercials for KY products.  They all vary to some degree, but usually, they feature a heterosexual couple talking about "the big moment".  Well, starting September 5th, "Alex and Emma", the line's first lesbian couple, joins their ranks.  From KY:

"K-Y® Brand has been a longtime supporter of the LGBT community. Since 1998, it has sponsored dozens of LGBT and HIV/AIDS organizations and has also participated at LGBT Pride celebrations and other community events. Gay male couples have been featured in print advertising since 2008 and now the brand is continuing its tradition of support and visibility with advertising that is inclusive of lesbian couples."

Here is the commercial.  Short but sweet.



Why KY Intense?  It's engineered specifically for women.  They like to call it the "Intense Effect".  It has worked on 75% of their test subjects.

I'm curious to see if the commercial will ever see the light of day on primetime television.  If and when it does, I'm sure the boycott police will be in full force.  "Boycott the network that aired this commercial."  "Boycott the program the commercial aired on."  "Boycott every store that KY Intense is sold in."  Great in theory, except KY Intense is sold in every major drug store chain - including Target and the fundie beloved Walmart.

There is only one reason why the evangelical right haven't blown up the airwaves about this already:  This is very low on their radar.  It's not like they're monitoring the advertising campaigns for sex lubricant products on a regular basis.

Dear lord, I hope not.  I'd hate to think that I have something in common with the evangelical right.  ;)

Video: Evangelist Swindles Teenagers Out Of Thousands

"Once you drink of his presence and his word, it is your duty to turn back around and give back to that which has offered you the drink."

Unbelievable.  By the way...that may sound like a Bible verse.  It's not.  But to the gullible, largely teen congregation in the video below, it sounds just as "true" as the rest of the "gospel" that has been preached to them.



I guess the Bible is no longer printed with Matthew chapter ten.  It was when I was a kid.  In it, Jesus said,

8“Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. 9“Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts, 10or a bag for your journey, or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support."

Then again, Evangelicals today believe in a literal translation of the Bible.  Since Jesus didn't specifically mention a million dollar home or a Mercedes Benz they can technically justify their actions before god, right?

And American feel threatened by radical Islam?  Please. 

Bullshit Christianist Propaganda Poll Of The Day

I have spoken about World Net Daily's website a number of times in the past.  They are a vile, hate filled mouthpiece for the Christian Right.  They're anti-gay, xenophobic and not afraid to make their opinions known.  They regularly conduct polls amongst their readers.  Often times, the question or the choice of responses are skewed in a way to where people have no choice but to answer in the direction that the website leans.

Today is no exception.  In response to yesterday's domestic terrorist attack in Norway, WND asked the following question:

"Islamic terrorism"?  Ladies and gentlemen, here is your "Islamic terrorist":

His name is Anders Breivik.  Oslo Police are describing him as "right wing and a Christian fundamentalist", exactly the profile of those who read World Net Daily.  Hours before the attack took place, Breivik posted a 1500 page manifesto online detailing preparations and calling for a Christian war to defend Europe against the threat of Muslim domination.  His neighbors even described him as a gun-loving American Norwegian obsessed with what he saw as the threats of multiculturalism and Muslim immigration. Essentially, he's Norway's version of Timothy McVeigh.

At this time, 92 people are dead from yesterday's dual attacks.  At least 86 of those people were shot and killed when Breivik, dressed as a police officer, gathered dozens of people together at a youth camp and methodically opened fire on them, one by one, with an automatic rifle.  Crews are still pulling bodies out of the bombed government buildings in Central Oslo.

Does anyone use Google anymore, or are they fine with accepting this bullshit propaganda at face value?  I can't wrap my head around this kind of blatant racism.
