Also, how do they know he's gay?
yes, Dan, you have a point. There are shitty Christians in the world. heard it before, will hear it again. Slog likes the topic, doesn't tire of it. keep it rolling.
Can't we though have a topic solely discussing the work of Bertrand Russel? Just for kicks? Bring some academic intelligence into the fold? Set differences aside, no agenda, just pure thought and the beauty of philosophy?
If it'll make us all feel any better, we can be pretty much positive this group of jerks hasn't gotten a cup of coffee without server spit for years.
Danny and Slog never note, let alone condemn, the bigoted hate inspired violence.
Evidently they condone it.
However,
if a homosexual gets stiffed a three buck tip Danny and the Slog get outraged, and seek means to harass and economically punish the vile non-tipper.
Humanist moral priorities are inspiring, indeed......
right, Danny?
sorry junior, not in the mood to play with you today, you ignorant little prick.
go to the NYT website and search 'christian persecution'.

It's an affluent area but it is a very conservative Red state. (My house got egged for having an Obama sign in the yard in '08)
I will go in and show supposrt, and maybe even mention how much of it he was getting on SLOG, in case he doesn't know!
@9, nice to see you siding with Westboro, after your previous fling with Alex Jones. True colors, and all that.
@34 Correct. This guy might not have been gay. That doesn't make stiffing him any better; it just makes the stiffers dumber for relying on their faulty gaydar.
I think it's so great that a bunch of people who actually follow what Jesus preached are coming to this guy's defense. I love the fact that the note from the haters has resulted in what is no doubt the biggest tips the waiter has ever received in his life. There's a good witness!
I would like to say (though it's not my word to use I'll type it once) "fagcraft" sounds like a beautiful term, to me.
The Church Of The Subgenius tells us that any sex that isn't missionary style in-out-for-reproduction-purposes-only actually spreads Yeti genetic mutation far and wide, turning one's neighbors into Subgeni, so carry on as you were!
Ophian @11: This one's for you.
"Of course I am a faggot, darling. I am a flaming faggot, darling. I am fanning the flames of my faggotry." Margaret Cho, doing Karl Lagerfeld, fanning herself relentlessly (I'm The One That I Want, 2000).

All well in your world?
To be fair, that rule of thumb works pretty well for determining that you're a fucking idiot.
You used to be a lot more fun and SLOG-like. The past couple years, your comments have become much more like SeattleBlahs in tone, therefore rather troll-y.
I hope nothing has happened in your life to turn you bitter? If YES, my condolences. If NO, then kinda sad that life and time have turned you so.
@ 20. Christians are not being persecuted. Fact. Google that shit. When people keep telling you they are the victim, they are clearly the bully. Some christian leaders actually enjoy a very lavish lifestyle based on the sheepish tithing of others. Here is my favorite recent example, but it happens all the time and you know it.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/24/world/…
Well at least this time the pope put a stop to it.
Jesus saw that, you worthless fucksticks.
And I'm doing just fine, thank you. Good to see you around.
If you don't mind answering, do you know if the name change process is harder than for opposite-sex couples? (Or possibly easier than his taking hers; my best friend's son almost took his wife's name when they married, but there were too many unnecessary difficulties attached to that and they decided against it.)
Many happy years ahead. And, to combine threads, good luck getting your body into your desired shape. (I have just gotten down a little more than half the increase to my waistline attributable to my breaking an ankle in 2009, and can't quite wear most of my favourite pants yet.)
We aim to do as we please!
Peace
World-wide xtians are increasingly subject to systemic persecution and violence, including murder and destruction of meeting places.
Bullshit

Bullshit

More Bullshit
Humanist moral priorities are inspiring, indeed......
Maximum Bullshit

I'll give you the same advice every newlywed should get:
Dump the cake, it tastes like shit after a year in the freezer!
Peace
your command of the expletive 'bullshit' IS impressive but we would love to see a few citations.
for example, can you share even one teeny tiny example of Danny condemning, or even acknowledging, any anti-xtian violence anywhere in the world? (remember; "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." Martin Luther King, Jr.)
tens of thousands murdered for their religion is ignored by Danny while a three buck tip gets a post?
like you said, bullshit.......
I apologize that I haven't written anything until now, I honestly wasn't expecting such a wonderful response. Thank you all, I really appeciate all your well wishes.
Fnarf - I am not going to change my handle on here as this is not my real name. I know, shocker right? :) In real life tho, I have no love for the name I inherited from my father and my hubby's last name is incredibly dashing which makes my real name even more dashing. It's totally win/win.
lolorhone - Glad to hear you're doing well. The wedding was good, just a small civil ceremony. Me, my man, two witnesses (our family), and a judge. We looked the part though. :) I started choking up when he was saying his vows and then I turned into a puddle of goo when I started saying mine. It's so embarrassing, I can't even watch the video.
vennominon - So far the name change process has been easy for me, but I think 95% of that is because of the action at the federal level and the expectation that they're going to see these sorts of scenarios all the time now. It's greased all the wheels. I can see how a man taking his wife's last name would be uncommon, but one of my friends just did exactly that and he didn't have any problems with it. Maybe marriage equality has helped break down some of those barriers.
Appreciate your support on my journey. The hardest thing about it is being patient because it all adds up over time.
Married in MA - We had no cake and we were much happier eating the wedding pie than we were saving it for later. :)
Raindrop - I knew what you meant. :) Thank you for your congrats; you'll be pleased to know that my dog didn't have any role at all in my wedding. (And calling it beef is probably the right answer, thanks lolorhone)
"I turned into a puddle of goo..."
We had a ~200 guest wedding... Keeping my voice from dissolving into nothingness was sooo efffing hard during the vows. Fortunately my wife remembered the kleenex and at some point nodding can carry the day!
Peace
Either one of you read The Commitment ? At the ceremony, Dan ended up a weeping mess, D.J. laughed at him, and Terry called him a pussy under his breath. It reads funnier in the book, mind you- the point is just about everybody ends up a wreck whilst reciting vows and that's okay.
Actually, this is the exact reason I chose the moniker of Married in MA. I was so unbelievably happy when I got married, and I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience that possibility. Not everyone is as much a hopeless romantic as I, but I can dream...
Peace

Okay, my precious little dumbfuck, cite something domestic for the bullshit statement below and I'll throw down as well.

Imagine how wonderful your country would be if all those church-goers skipped their weekly vaccine of cheapness and mean-spiritedness ?
@Married - Here's to Massachusetts leading the nation. :)
@lolorhone - It's on my list, but haven't done so yet. I need to catch up with a bunch of Dan's books.
leading the nation in what?
oh yeah, adults living outside marriage.
you know, Marriage is disappearing in Mass.
good answer!
if your head is up your ass, at least.......
domestic?
we prefer Russian. Vodka, that is.
That's right, the state with the lowest rate of divorce in the country
Peace
because it has the lowest marriage rate.
people who never marry don't divorce.
Marriage is dying in the Bay State.
homosexual "marriages" are maggots crawling out of the rotting corpse.
While marriage rates are low"-ish", MA isn't the lowest, even MS is lower for 2011. And, I stand corrected: recently (2011) other states are lower. Still, what we create, we tend to keep.
Peace
