"ivorce", Dan? What's that? I learned lots of stuff about sex from you, but that's new!

iVorce is when you use your iPhone4 to iFace "I Divorce You" to your Saudi wife three times.

@1: The iVorce is a new product from the minds at Apple. You can now legally dissolve your marriage streaming over the web for 99 cents. Discounts for repeat purchases!

Those who justify immoral actions in the name of freedom, while failing to discuss the ethical dimension of those actions, keep society in moral obscurity and darkness.

Who fails "to discuss the ethical dimension of those actions?"

Those in positions of authority, especially those who instruct the next generation, must work to preserve morality and right order in society.

Can you imagine this guy ever wondering if he's, I don't know ... wrong? Don't normal people question whether they might be wrong all of the time?

On the other hand, I feel like I could churn out dogmatic bullshit like this in my sleep. How do I go about getting paid for it?

Free will is such a bitch. Who came up with that crap, anyway?

Great, now I have to find a way to get all the bisexual-fiance, gay-marriage-supporting, pre-marital sex smudges out of the white, white dress I plan to wear at my wedding. I wonder if Heloise can help?

Don't normal people question whether they might be wrong all of the time?

The operative word in there is *normal*.

@4:

Actually (and depending on how you define "normal"), it seems most people in fact DON'T spend much time questioning the correctness of their beliefs & opinions, and instead, either seek out "facts" that tend to bolster the opinions they already hold, or, if confronted with evidence that contradicts those beliefs, backlash against it.

Good article in the Boston Globe on this very subject over the weekend.

Radical Christian haters? In MY Internet?
It's more likely than you think.

Seriously, sites like these are rivaling 4chan for the title of "Asshole of the Internet".

You're right, Dan. They will never let up on the buttsecks over a triffle like the Gulf Oil Spill. If it weren't for us faggots, none of this ever would have happened.
They live in a world of magical thinking, where every little action causes huge reprocussions around us. Hence, equal marriage rights are simply enshrining sin into this great [godly] nation's fabric, causing god to let the oil spill happen. See how that works?
I love being so powerful that my mere existence is destroying the world as we know it...buwahhaha.

Pure white looks like shit on me and anyone else who isn't a winter.

@6 "The whole problem with this world is that fools and fanatics are so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." - Bertrand Russell

@12 Well, that's it: Only winters should marry, it seems pretty obvious to me. Word of God.

This post did not at all deliver on the bestiality promised by its title.

This is that asshole in the Vatican spouting his children raping garbage at the rest of us!

Will brides go back to being property, too? Those were the good ole days.

You seem to think that straight people don't know that we have an enemy, but believe me, as a feminist I've known right-wing, religious types hate women and want to take away our rights for a long time. White, straight, men will probably continue to get a pass like they always have.

Fun historical fact:

The white wedding gown originally had *nothing* to do with purity or virginity. Up until Victorian times, mot brides simply wore their best dress for their weddings - usually something brightly colored. Queen Victoria wore white at her wedding to show status, and it started a trend.

White, being a terribly impractical color, especially back then when the streets were muddy and washing machines hadn't been invented yet, was not a color normally used for dresses or skirts. So having a white dress made "just" for the wedding, a dress that you'd never be able to wear again, was a sign of riches, plain and simple.

The message wasn't "I'm a virgin!" It was "Look, my family can afford to waste a lot of money on a dress I'll only wear one day in my life!"

The purity meaning was invented much later by the churches.

So apart from the bigoted nonsense, this guy doesn't even have his facts straight. (Pun intended.)

Thanks for the history Sketch. Case in point, I bought a relatively inexpensive black dress for my wedding that I can alter and wear again and again :D I tried on white, ivory, and even grey, but everyone agreed that black was my thing. guess i'm extra stained? :P
