[PEDANTIC]This thesis is supported by the fact that several schools of Jewish ethics permit birth control to be undertaken by a woman, but not by a man. A woman may do everything in her power to avoid pregnancy, so long as the man does everything in his power to impregnate the woman. Hilarity ensues![/PEDANTIC]

I am sure that is true. What bothers me is that people preaching humility (a good thing) have the nerve to slap the brand of "God" on some system specifically and only concerned with petty human needs and desires in order to foist it on the rest of us. My cat probably has more of a clue about what God's plan is than 99.99999% of people.

I realize I am saying obvious things probably better expressed by a 10-year old. Doesn't mean it still doesn't bug me. And I have heard the arguments that he doesn't exist so why not appropriate his name as a marketing tool. That doesn't really wash with me either.

As long as His plan involves flaked Ocean Whitefish, shitting in a box, and Q-Tip worship.

Adultry, brother-mother incest, and brother-sister incest were basically "don't fucking touch my property" prohibitions. They don't make as big of a deal about father-daughter incest, cuz she's your property until you sell her off to the guy with the most goats.

Then the assberets who wrote the bibile were clearly closet cases. bc on this theory, a blowjob swallow would be tantamount to canniablaism and what man doesnt enjoy blowjobs and sploogin? None. So by denying themselves access to their desired sex partenrs, men, they could limit sex to the obligatory fuck the wife. ANd probably the young boys cruising around bethlehem back in the day.

Yes, but in fairness, Plano is soulless and lacks the ability to love.

Did you just call me Coltrane?

I vehemently disagree. I would so give her the gook.

Edited to add that I've never written the above sentence down before. I hope no one thought this was a racial comment. "Gook", in this sentence, rhymes with "book" and means, well, "jism". I read it over again and alarms started going off in my head...

So what happened? God pulled the Pope aside and said, hey, gays are going mainstream. First there was Will and Grace, then Vermont and Hawaii, then Queer as Folk.

Thats not a good enough answer. We dont even know that God is anti gay. Where is the jurisdiction?

As for Bush, what happened to Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness? What is this The People bullshit?

Here's what people keep forgetting. The ruling was that laws regulating sodomy were impinging upon privacy. What people keep forgetting is that sodomy is not just for gay people. Sodomy includes oral contact with the opposite sex. Some people are freaking out that the ruling would lead to gay marriages. What? Don't forget the blow jobs. It's all about the blow jobs.

For anyone who cares anymore

Will strip stories split Jen and Ben? (Please say the answer to this question is yes).
July 31 — Is “Bennifer” headed for splitsville? Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s very public relationship is very much on the rocks because of the bombshell allegations in the new issue of the National Enquirer that Ben was cavorting with strippers, says a source who knows the couple well. “IT’S NOT REALLY the strip club that’s the problem,” says the insider. “It’s all the sordid details about taking the girls back to (Christian Slater’s) house and what they did with them there. This relationship had issues before this article came out, and I think those details are going to make Jennifer snap. They may be making some public appearances together to promote their movie ‘Gigli’ but it’s going to be tough.”
The article also alleges that cocaine and booze were available at the party — although it never says they were used by Affleck, who had a highly-publicized stint in rehab.
Affleck’s lawyer has denied the story, calling it “totally false.”

I did not snort

Edited to add Reese Witherspoon to the NOT HOT list.

That should be added to the standard marriage vows.
