Crap. No, don't post you stupid fingers. Cut! Alas, it are what it am.

I feel a to;dr coming on... and it's not time for a new thread yet... is it?

1st, define sin.

Evil = error, anything

Sin = willful erring, and we've all done that. While some strive not to err, some pretend they don't know better but they really do.

So, we try to just inform the erring, but must appeal to the sinner's idealism.

(Stage three for the path of sin is irredeemable iniquity, and that's hellacious.)

2. Moral authority

Is something a sin because the Bible, guru, church, or FLotUS says not to? For non-Fundamentalist non-Papal Authority folks, right and wrong can still be plain.

Moral transgression is a comprehensible interpersonal formulation, and personal righteousness, to understand and aspire to ideals intrinsic in Creation, can be appreciated without resorting to authoritarian doctrine. Almost as if we had some kind of innate sense of truth.

3. So is homosexuality a sin if you don't consider every word of Leviticus divinely inspired, or what have you?

First ask, is it error? Well, anything but coitus is, per species survival, functionally erroneous, so some believe there's just one way for two to tango... and no dancing! Yet mouths are fun. It's okay if you're married, isn't it, to... well... hey, just close the door!

It's not just the sex, though. It's the fundamental attraction. Who you want to wake up with. I can't fault anyone finding love ... or comforting companionship ... if you can get it. That has nothing to do with degrading gay porn parades or gay mafia agendas. I know some folks I believe were sort-of destined for homosexuality, others I believe are in the abused & confused group. Aren't we all, some way. Nobody's perfect.

I know a lot of what I used to think was okay I no longer believe is right. I'm grateful there's reported to be forgiveness for the sincerely repentant if I can ever work my way up from sin to sincerity. I'd do my best to help others avoid my errors and eschew sin.

And I've got a pile of stones here for anyone wants to be first to cast one.

A common rookie mistake. -GnuBreed

I know! What was I thinking? At least I didn't watch the vid.

Needs moar Benghazi.

(I keed. Plz no mr banhammers)

man. I f'd up. read the post, got to the bottom & no comments. I coulda been a contenda.

Actually, being able to, e.g. separate Zim from what happened to him vs. venerating him as some kind of hero, is just an example of what separates principled thinkers from authoritarian cultists.

By supporting him the Horde is showing that we say fuck that shit whenever anybody gets jobbed by the dipshit apparatchiks. - Captain Hate

yeah, that

I think we all should wish Z would just go away now. All I'm saying is, let's not fully embrace Phil as some sort of Hero. ... We could get burned. -CoolCzech

Um... no.

(not bothering to explicate, but, no )

Well, okay..

Nobody's making heroes of these two. Zim is a sad sack who successfully defended himself, then no less than the Pres himself painted a bullseye on him. I know slightly more than zip about Duckmen, care less. There's most-hated in the last 24hrs girl now, supposedly a lib now a net lynchee. It's the Regressives hate machine we deplore, and sympathize with how their prey are victimized, whatever schedenfreud is enjoyed re the victim's personl foolish politics.

What got to me is the lying by the donks. Just non stop lying. -Bean Pies!

We insult everybody "We have no morals" and we will come after you. The "We have no morals" was an actual quote [by PJboy] -FenelonSpoke

The war is spiritual. Light, truth, beauty, goodness, the attributes of the divine. Absent these qualities is shadow, false witness, dishonor, and iniquity.

Jane Fonda died in NVN. *p'tooie* (What was someone saying about ready for zombies..!??)

I'd like to thank my agent, my guru, my life coach and my drug dealer for this honor… -J.J. Sefton

Wasn't Septigenerian Sexton a Rolling Stones tribute band?

:/

(Heh... my cell tried to 'fix' Sexton to Sefton.)

The Harsh Hilarity award this hour (a Captain Hate Pez dispenser) goes to J.J. Sefton for his performance in

"If I could find it, I'd staple his foreskin back on to his man-clit."

There is a "Fiddler on the Roof" remake in the works. Very very early stages of development. -J.J. Sefton

Hmm. I have a feeling I may see that just as often as I've seen Miracle on 34th Street with Jurassic Park guy (x=2x), because (sings basso) tradition! (But I did like the staged clip I linked.)

Re: Andy's tweet: Of all the mockery to which pjboy has been subjected, AFAIK, only this has the untouched original as the punchline. Maybe I'm belaboring the obvious, but that's what makes it so brilliant, besides the powerful contrasting measures of testosterone.

Frumious Bandersnatch - I did say I was familiar with the scene, by osmosis (& yootoob) but, nice recap! There's always that nouveaux lurker who needed the bg.)

Feel good story of the day.

"It sounds silly, in this age of technology, when we have millions of dollars-worth of equipment beeping around me, that we had a little dog who was more sensitive than all the machines,"

Silly. Not the word I'd use. Smart, maybe.

We know so very little.

"Conan, what is best in life?"

Hah! Only know the line because it's been used here, so it took me a beat. I first thought, Conan O'Brien?

Do I have to yield up my nerd card?

Especially in late December. Yay, Solstice!

Reminds me, I recommended to my newlywed son that, if they haven't yet, they should watch Fiddler together. And I added a nice link to a stage production of Do You Love Me, the anthem for old married couples that Mrs & I have appeciated since before our first was born, and all the more now.

Oh, and... good morning!

Sky is just barely light. Ice all over everything. Cats are anxious to go out. Fools! I think I'll let them! Mwah ha haaah!
