Silenced!

6. That was a damn good thread until it got locked.

Lots of participation from both sides. All the usual religious blather about how You-Know-What ended slavery, started the civil rights movement, and probably invented baseball and apple pie.

I was having fun reading it.

That seems to be a serious understatement. On the level of - "Josef Stalin sometimes got cranky and behaved badly."

(Stalin reference just for the lurking spies...)

I also read the long thread in Religion about NC Amendment One. From my completely prejudiced POV, that thing has really hit a nerve with the believers. "Protest too much," I effing reckon!!!

All their self-congratulatory BS about the awesome power of Lib'rul Xianity just went right up in smoke...again. As it did in California in 2008, when the Mormons rammed their throbbing, engorged bigotry right down the throat of the most gay-friendly state in the nation.

I noticed CA Prop. 8 was mentioned in the thread. And predictably ignored. Just as they predictably ignore that the right-wing Xian bullies have been stealing their lunch and beating the crap out of them on the political playground since 1980.

Maybe a more Sophisticated Theology will fix that. Or some OTHER Other Ways Of Knowing.
