Maybe the mom just needs to take her fetus to confession. The priest can stuff some rosary beads in there to aid the fetus in doing pennance.

Dan, I just watched your conversation with John Aravosis over at Americablog. I am now convinced that Terry really should be nominated for Godlike Status. Also, he needs to make us all Mai Tais before the show. We will all pay extra for that, without complaint.

That is all.

@12, Doc Emrick is good, but I dislike the other announcers, and the CBC feed is overall a lot less annoying.

@6, I get CBC at home, so I watched that feed instead of Kong. Way better for many reasons.

That was an amazing game. It really is funny watching those guys trying to skate when they are dead tired. Passing became horrible, people were running into their own teammates, shifts were so short the guys barely got onto the ice before they were getting back off of it. Then when the Hawks won, Boston disappeared like water vapor. Great start to the finals.

Jun 12 SeattleKim commented on What Are You Going to Do the Next Time You See Someone Being Harassed on the Street?.

That is a miserable situation. It is also probably why we still have more cars on the street than we need to. More women would take the bus if standing at the bus stop and riding the bus felt/was safer.

Personally, I would probably end up just carrying mace with me everywhere. As soon as the asshole started his routine, I would simply hold up the mace and ask if he wanted to say anything else. But I'm kind of an asshole myself, so there is that.

Jun 6 SeattleKim commented on SL Letter of the Day: I'm Gay and Being Bullied By My Hyper-Religious Parents—What Do I Do?.

Me, there are some great references in the above posts, but if you want one more, there is a book by a conservative gay Christian, called Torn. It is by Justin Lee. It is well worth reading. He also created an online Gay Christian Network called http://www.gaychristian.net/ if you want to find Biblical support. I am a progressive Christian, so I'm not much help otherwise. My saying is "If they are telling you that you need to change, what you need to change is your church."

Another really good book is Gay By God, by Michael Piazza. Both books dig into the myth that the Bible says it is wrong to be gay.

I suggest you check out the books, videos and links so you can start arming yourself with responses. Then hand your parents a few of the things you have read and learned and watched. Tell them you will not have a conversation with them until they have read the books, watched the videos and attended at least 2 PFLAG meetings with you. Then the conversation can begin.

And don't forget that we are all here for support if you ever need it.

Jun 3 SeattleKim commented on The Problem with Building a Noah's Ark Theme Park.

Even if you define the "world" as the "world as far as Noah knew", and you included only the animals of that region, you still don't have room to store 40 days worth of food for them. Especially since many of the animals were probably meat eaters.

A couple minutes worth of logic destroys that entire story. And a bit of research finds that it looks like the Biblical story was appropriated from an earlier story about a real flood, from a different culture.

I simply cannot understand how anyone can actually believe in a literal Bible. The funny thing is, nobody believed in a "literal" Bible until about 150 years ago at earliest. Very recent really. So it was "modern" people who started believing in Biblical fairy tales.

Jun 3 SeattleKim commented on NHL Playoffs Update: Now There Are Four.

I'm with you Megan. Every team I root for loses, and at this point, I would be choosing the least hated team. I can't root FOR any of them. So I'm not going to vote, unless you add a catagory of None of the Above.
