A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum · 11:07pm Jul 8th, 2014
Right, first off, sorry about the empty blog. Hit enter a bit early.
Second, the point. There's a new, rather cool news-feedish profile here on FimFiction: Fimfiction Drama. You've probably already heard about this from Rainbow Bob. That's how I found out. So, why am I repeating it? Because of this blog post. Or rather >>2266497 this comment. Which has a link to this essay. Which dissects Leviticus 18-20, and rather conclusively shows that God does not, in fact, have any problem with gay people. He does have a problem with you making use of a sacred male prostitute as part of a fertility cult dedicated to another deity (well, if you're Jewish anyway. Leviticus never applied to anyone else anyway), but that's probably not too big of a concern in the modern world. So, why go out of my way to post this?
1) I'm a Christian who supports gay rights (and am Bi myself), so this makes me giddy
2) Religious Studies/Philosophy double major. Analysands of sacred texts (or anything to do with religion, really) is absolutely fascinating, at least in my opinion. Of course I'm the guy who dropped $30 for an 900+ page history of the Crusades as light reading, so what do I know.
3) I haven't made a blog in a while, and blogging about a blog is easier than doing something interesting myself. Unless you want to hear the mind numbing details of office work (In brief: copy and file a document. Repeat ad nauseam.)
Sounds good to me. The problem, though, my friend, is in not reasoning with reasonable Christians. The problem is reasoning with fundamentalists (of any belief) -- in that it can't be done.
P.S. I hadn't heard about the profile from anybody, but instead found out about it when a group of the same name was formed. Having glanced at the user's blog entries just now, I don't think I need the pain.
I present this to the drama-prone users of the site:

Sadly true, I suppose. If people were reasonable, half of the stupid things that happened, wouldn't. Ah well, I live in perpetual, unfounded hope. That's why you should never, ever let me open the chests, I'm always sure that there's no trap.
As for drama, while it certainly is a headache to get caught up in it, watching it another matter entirely.
Right, Discord?

... dissection bookmarked, although it's missing citations.
Graci.
