HAY GUISE GUESS WHAT NO REALLY GUESS WHAT!!

Gay people didn't exist 100 years ago, but they do now!

Why am I not surprised that the first line in her lj bio is "My Name is Andrea and I am a Christian that loves God with all of my heart," but the second one is "I will not be tolerant...."

o.O

I didn't want to unroll the threads, too much fail, but did someone point out to her that the sin of Sodom was lack of generosity, not buttsex?

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Yes, but she reads from New Living Translation, which just makes everything about hating anyone who isn't PERFECT LIKE YOU.

God's Love: UR DOIN IT WRONG.

INORITE?

[aurora]

UGH.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[hezmanagirl.livejournal.com]

It's "Christians" like her that give religion a bad name. Meh.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Yup, it absolutely is.

The ignorant stupidity, it burns.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Flames....

I see from her profile that she's from Iowa.

On behalf of my entire state, I apologize. Heck, I'll even apologize on behalf of the cows, the pigs, and the corn and the soybeans while I'm at it; after all, I suspect that a bushel of soybeans could probably out-argue her.

[lydiabell.livejournal.com]

On the bright side, we know she's not representative of all of Iowa, because you guys actually *have* legal same-sex marriage.

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

Wow. Such a lovely attitude, and so knowledgeable, too.

Well, White Collar has had its official first kerfuffle, I guess. *eyeroll*

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I know, and only two episodes in!

[amireal.livejournal.com]

Get this person to an ancient history (or even some not so ancient history) classes STAT.

Wasn't the Wilde trial more than a hundred years ago?

[copernica3.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. The memories! I was taking a Current Events "discussion" elective in my senior year of high school and one girl quite honestly believed this. The teacher's expression of dumbfounded shock when he clued in that she meant it is one I badly wished I could have caught on film. He had thought she was kidding. She thought he was making fun of the rest of the class by pretending to think she was kidding. Or something.
Ironically, said girl was well known for smoking a blunt before homeroom every morning. Wonder if that was advised in the bible.
Anyway.

... whut

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

She's 20 and probably went to a Christian brainwashing facility for her schooling. So not surprised.

Wow, the fandom's barely two weeks old and already it's had its first wank! Baby's all grown up!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

*sigh* How these people can consider themselves Christian is beyond me.

[toujours-nigel.livejournal.com]

Nobody's posted the David/Jonathon at her yet?

ahahaha

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

BWEE Bible slash ftw!

[thecomfychair.livejournal.com]

ugh, I'm guessing this is who you needed the most offensive insult possible for? and oh my god, her profile even has autoplay.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Yes, this is She Of The I Need An Insult.

[ratcreature]

Yikes. I mean, even if you go with the modern idea of "gay" of an identity with a movement (rather than people just having same-sex sex), that existed by then. Like here in Germany gay rights activists published books arguing that it was natural to have homosexual sex in the 1860s, and there were public demands to decriminalize m/m sex and even for same-sex marriage etc. There were organizations with records, publications and petitions in parliament, sexuality research being done and published, so it's not as if the gay movement was all invisible or underground by the late 19th century or some kind of backwards projection.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

She's just an all-around idiot. Usually I'd ignore that kind of stupidity, but the "threw up" part got me riled.

[xebgoc.livejournal.com]

omg, *that* is what all the tweets have been about ! i've seen them pop up but have been busy with something else and haven't really been following how the thread was running. I think I love hubbit and need to go friend him.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

hubbit is awesome. And yes, this is what I've been tweeting about, and stirring the shit.

[vickita.livejournal.com]

Jesus. ::headdesk::

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I believe you mean "Jesus wept."

[quicksylver-btg.livejournal.com]

The truly amusing thing? Two of the shows she watches (Chronicles of Narnia and Smallville) have been slammed for having underage characters/actors with older adults. Apparently, homosexuality = not good. Any expression of heterosexuality, even if punishable by law, = good.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, weren't they all marrying their half-sisters and twelve-year-olds in the Bible? That makes it okay, right?

[isagel.livejournal.com]

It's 5.30 in the morning here, and all the talk in that thread of mistranslations of the Bible is making me want to know what the new official Swedish translation of the Old Testament says about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorra, but I only have the slightly modernized 1917 translation at home, and the online version of the shiny new one is refusing to load properly, and why am I not in bed yet?

This is all by way of saying that the original commenter makes me grieve for the world, but all the other posters bring me fresh hope for humanity by means of scholarly discussion. ♥

It's going to be very interesting to see how Matthew Bomer's career develops, in light of his, as I understand it, self-stated bisexuality. It feels rare and new to me, that a US tv channel is so strongly promoting an actor as the hot new thing when he's already known to not be straight.

Well, I have hopes - Neil Patrick Harris is thriving as a romantic lead on his show, and nobody gives a shit--in fact, ratings are better this year than in any of the previous seasons. My generation, and younger, by and large just don't care about it.

[klia.livejournal.com]

And once again, fundamentalist Christianity rears its ugly, ignorant, pointy head. Just... wow.

[kadymae.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the lovely surprise of hot male kissage behind the cut.

I mean, I knew I was going to see you lay waste to idiots and that's always fun, but ... damn. ;)

[bluerosefairy.livejournal.com]

On behalf of people named Andrea, I apologize thoroughly.

Excellent trouncing and education of her over at that thread, though. I think I headdesked myself into a coma over her "God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for homosexuality" statement. And jeez, the New Living Translation? Really?

I should never post when I'm sleep-deprived...

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I just went fucking nuclear on her.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I'm normally not bitchy to theists who are actually nice people, but this bint had me clenching my fists to keep from responding, "Well, that's how you know your god is manmade - when he hates all the same people you do."

Yeah, I just.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I went completely mental on her late last night (early this morning?) I kinda feel bad? And I kinda don.t

[terrie01.livejournal.com]

*Plays Voltaire's God Thinks* She claims to have done her homework. I told her she got an F on it.

[falzalot.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I know people like this. Even sadder, I'm *related* to people like this. Or at least I used to be -- last time I saw him, he seemed to have gotten hit by a clue bus. I have hopes that it continues to run over him periodically.

But OMG, that picture!!!! What a hottie!!!!!

[kimberlyfdr.livejournal.com]

I have sadly known too many conservative Christians who spread such hate in the name of God. My only response to her (http://community.livejournal.com/whitecollar_tv/27514.html?thread=138106#t138106) was one of reaching out, praying that she see the error of her ways.

[merricatk.livejournal.com]

I'm impressed with both the prescience of the Bible to predict homosexuality, and with evolution. For the human race to evolve so quickly--a hundred years for there to be gay humans!--is remarkable. (And in a time of over-population, who could not believe that rechanneling sexual desire in a non-reproductive way isn't a good thing?)
