26. If any of my gay friends or acquaintances

Thu Dec 4, 2014, 01:37 PM

Dec 2014

thought as much and as vividly about sex as right-wing Christians do, I would strongly urge them to get into sex-addict therapy. These Christians are absolutely obsessed with gay sex.

I'm reminded of the story of the two Buddhist monks who were walking along together. They came to a stream, and there was a woman there who asked if they could carry her across. One monk picked her up, carried her across, and put her down.

The two monks continued walking and a few hours later, the monk who had carried the woman noticed that the other monk was sullen and quiet. He asked him what the problem was. The other monk said "You touched a woman. You broke your vows." The first monk said "Yes, but I put the woman down on the other side of the stream. You've been carrying her for three hours."
