This needs context. And Gawd said "The circus is in town and I like the elephants dancing in little skirts. It makes me laugh. But their tent is held up with poles. And the poles have rings where the tent is tied. Don't ever remove the poles from the rings. If you do I will be angry and kill your children and destroy your crops."
@5 Here is the context; Yahweh is instructing Moses to build the ark of the covenant. It is to have two rings mounted on each side, and poles of shittim wood are to be inserted through the rings " that the ark may be borne with them."
"10-15 “First let them make a Chest using acacia wood: make it three and three-quarters feet long and two and one-quarter feet wide and deep. Cover it with a veneer of pure gold inside and out and make a molding of gold all around it. Cast four gold rings and attach them to its four feet, two rings on one side and two rings on the other. Make poles from acacia wood and cover them with a veneer of gold and insert them into the rings on the sides of the Chest for carrying the Chest. The poles are to stay in the rings; they must not be removed." -TheMessage, a biblical paraphrase.
I find it interesting that for some old reason, The Stranger preys so often on the Christian religion and yet accepts Churches to place adds on it's webpage. It's like every week there's something about Christianity (against), Gay and Lesbian rights (for), MMJ (for), I can just about count on it.
I'm starting to question the morals of this publication, since you've shown yourself capable of taking money from groups you're so often bashing and you go out of your way to misrepresent someone just as much as you claim you're being misrepresented, way to be the better person and show us how you would like us to treat you...
I guess it was too obvious, if I thought the same thing, too.
Someone needs to ask Dan Savage for advice about this.
But I like your version better.
I would have thought that God would want you to remove the poles at the RNC.
Put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up.
Lotsa folk rushin' to get a Seattle apartment this morning:

Gee... I wonder where Joseph Smith got the idea for his Golden Plates?
@20 No, you wouldn't. Although... the little stick-figure guys would look awesome with ritual headgear, beards, and fringes.
I blame Austerity.
