Early Game Blogging

I am watching game 6 of the Celtics and Lakers. Kobe Bryant is on fire and the Celtics are missing shots left and right, yet it is 13-12, Lakers.

Analysis of the following will be light (or lighter than usual).

Science Remember the uncontacted people in South America?

Well, Al Jazeera has a video about this:

Note that the red paint means a “state of war”; evidently that is universal. I admit that shooting arrows at a plane sounds comical to me, but hey, what would we do if aliens with super advanced technology came at us?

The topic of today: gay marriage.

Gay marriage harms traditional marriage. How do I know this? Well, if gays weren’t getting married I wouldn’t be surfing the net for photos of Fernanda Keller or Misty May.

For more perspectives, see Cosmic Variance or the Daily Kos.

Hagee: talks about his perfect woman. Note how he describes the “secular woman”. I wonder if this *ss**le knows that gluttony is a sin?

Pat Robertson weighs in as well.

Note how he brings up the old Sodom and Gomorrah story; he claims that it was homosexuality that was the problem.

But what is there in this story (Chapter 19 of Genesis)

19:1 The two angels came to Sodom in the evening while1 Lot was sitting in the city’s gateway.2 When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face toward the ground.

19:2 He said, “Here, my lords, please turn aside to your servant’s house. Stay the night3 and wash your feet. Then you can be on your way early in the morning.”4 “No,” they replied, “we’ll spend the night in the town square.”5

19:3 But he urged6 them persistently, so they turned aside with him and entered his house. He prepared a feast for them, including bread baked without yeast, and they ate. 19:4 Before they could lie down to sleep,7 all the men – both young and old, from every part of the city of Sodom – surrounded the house.8 19:5 They shouted to Lot,9 “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can have sex10 with them!”

19:6 Lot went outside to them, shutting the door behind him. 19:7 He said, “No, my brothers! Don’t act so wickedly!11 19:8 Look, I have two daughters who have never had sexual relations with12 a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them whatever you please.13 Only don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection14 of my roof.”15

Talk about family values: “hey, don’t rape these men; rape my daughters instead!”

And people wonder why I don’t take the “morals” of the Bible seriously. :)

I wonder what Mr. Robinson thinks about that. (Hat tip to Right Wing Watch)
