In direct defiance of God's law, I am having mussels in white wine for dinner. Who's going to hell with me?



Thanks to wook77 for the link. ;-)

ETA: Because it doesn't seem to be clear, that website is a joke.

Oh, and another reason I'm going to hell? The first picture on this page. I'll start making room in my handbasket now for the rest of y'all...

After that, I have an insatiable appetite for some shrimp tonight.

Note to self: Make reservations for a nice seafood restaurant :P

Why stop at protesting gay marriage? <--- Why /start/ at protesting gay marriage! B*astards.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I think they were being ironic. ;-)

[eskimosatan.livejournal.com]

See, now that's just funny. Or sad, it depends on how much of that was a manipulated and how much was for serious. And I love the icon. That's just brilliant as well.

I thought it was real for a minute. You never know, with those gay bashing freaks.

Sadly, this is not far off from the cult church my mother forced me to attend for the first 13 years of my life. 10 years later, I have no religious qualms about eating shellfish/pork, but I find I don't relish the taste the way I do foods I have eaten regularly. Personally, I think the idea of a god hating anything, be it shrimp or +10% of the human (and animal? ... but I heard one of the penguins ditched the other for a female) population. Why can't we all just get along and stop seeking to impose our wills on others?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

At least those assholes were consistent. It's the cherrypicking of Bible verses that pisses me off.

[ice-is-blue.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's one note in their favor, they uniformly had their heads shoved up their collective arses.

I have issues with the Bible, period. Yes, I can see how it's cozy for some to have a history of ~2000 years of (ill-translated) useage with which to comfort themselves, but really, there are several more worthy books I'd like to chop up chapter by chapter and sentence by sentence to study and live by. Several more worthy fic, as well. Although, now that I've typed that, none of them come to wit. ..... Hmmmm. On the topic of gay rights... The fairly recent YA novel, Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan.

Being able to speak with familiarity on many things and ways of thought is much more preferable to being able to repeat verbaitm the words of a single book... And yes. The cherrypicking that goes on reduces even the small merit of the latter triumph.

*decides that lobster is on the menu tonight since it's cheap 'round these parts and really pisses off some people to boot!*

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

To hell, you are going. Move over.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. Will you sit on my lap? ;-)

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

Oh, duh on me. Where else would I be?

[clevermomi.livejournal.com]

You just HAD to link to the wetnakedbubbley!Harry didn't you. now I'm scared to die, b/c I'll be in hell right there along with you.
These books and movies have seriously erased any squicks I had reharding under age sexiness.

I'll start making room in my handbasket now for the rest of y'all...

I call shotgun.

[hearts-n-roses.livejournal.com]

I had shrimp yesterday. I'm with you.

That website never ceases to amuse me, but the need for it is rather sad I suppose.

[dustbunnies710.livejournal.com]

I hope you have a large supply of lobster&&naked, wet, Dan in that hell handbasket of yours...
:)a lot of us will need it.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

That sounds more like heaven than hell! :-D

[darksylvia.livejournal.com]

First, that website is hilarious.

Second, squish over, I'm on my way down.

[nimroddess.livejournal.com]

So, the... third picture of that entry? Maybe it's just me, but I don't recall Harry losing his arm. Granted, it's been a while since I read book 4, but that seems like something I'd remember. Is this the movie where we find out Voldemort is Harry's father? Er, wait. What?

[maureenlycaon.livejournal.com]

You mean you only just discovered it? Have you seen this one (http://www.landoverbaptist.org/) yet?

[meninaiscrazy.livejournal.com]

That's the one connected to whitehouse.org. I love them. ^__~

[charlotteschaos.livejournal.com]

Etouffee is why God truly flooded New Orleans. That and gumbo.

Spread the word, sistah!

[meninaiscrazy.livejournal.com]

Funny idea. Too bad I can't eat seafood. ^__^

Lovely! I love that part in the book.
But WTF with the Beatles look? I mean Rons' and Harry's hair...lol

I'm Jewish, and I keep Kosher by default (I'm a veggie), and I find it funny that the one religion that started with the dietary laws and has held onto them the longest is also the first that opened our doors to gays- into both the congregation and the clergy. At the moment 2 of the 4 sects have completely accepted homosexuality (Reform and Reconstructionist) and the Conservative Movement is working on it (the Rabbis in charge are divided about 50-50. Which makes us the most accepting of the monotheistic religions- and yet we hang on to the dietary laws (although for some of us- ok most of us in the Reform sect- study but do not practice it). Its just strange to me that Christianity has let go of the dietary laws and yet for the most part is lagging in the gay rights department, and Jews like to follow (or pretend to follow) the food laws and are all for equality.

And sorry to be so preachy, for lack of a better term, but my friend and I (who is planning to become a queer Rabbi) were just having a discussion about this very topic on our way home from a Gay Days Disneyland party this evening. And I'm both tired and a bit tipsy so if my syntax is a bit off then thats why. Make room in the handbasket for us, too!!!

Thank you for mentioning this. I've seen the "God Hates Shrimp" website before and while I get the point they are trying to make and actually agree with the spirit of it, it has kinda bugged me too. I don't keep Kosher, but I respect those who do and, perhaps unintentionally, this site does not. It seems to me that the site is trying to claim the restriction against shellfish is some sort of obscure blip that no one acknowledges and they are somehow trying to equate this with passages of the bible that *some* people have chosen to interpret as anti-homosexual. The site seems to be stating basically, "these dietary restictions are absurd so therefore, so is discrimination against homosexuality." What I think is absurd is this equating of religious dietary restrictions with discrimation against a group of people. Millions of people (not just Jews btw) don't eat shellfish for religious reasons and this hurts no one. Calling a group of humans an abomination because people have chosen to interpret their religious text to say that does hurt a lot of people. It's a ridiculous analogy really. Using passages of religious text as license to discriminate against a group of people is the true abomination and I wish they'd stop making fun of people who observe dietary laws as some round-about way to attempt to make this point.

Aha! I knew I could be saved! For I do not like shrimp! :D

Oh, and another reason I'm going to hell? The first picture on this page. I'll start making room in my handbasket now for the rest of y'all...
Phew, I'll not be alone... :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/_boi_oh_boi_/]

i'm queer as fuck, which is an abomination a few lines later, so yeah, i'll be there

[wook77.livejournal.com]

*snirt* I love that website. Way too many people thought it was serious...it says in the very bottom that it's a work of parody. Their banners rock. I've ordered a t-shirt to wear to our local "gay day" at the one park here in Tucson.

I'll take that little space right over there in the handbasket. When I saw that picture, my first thought was... is he legal yet? I'd love to corrupt some youth. (did I share too much information?)

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

We may have had this conversation before, but I lived in Tucson for 14 years, until 3 years ago. I miss it. I miss the sunsets, and the food on south Fourth, and the saguaros, and even the tarantulas. I miss the dry heat, especially. :-P

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I went to school here from 95 to 99 and moved back to PA. I hated PA so much that I moved back out to Tucson and have been here since 04. I love it out here. The food on 4th is amazing. I live way out by the San Xavier Mission but I wouldn't trade my sunsets, wildlife, stars, etc for a place closer.

I'm finally warm out here. In PA, my feet were always cold... it's nice to see them a normal color.

I was an undergrad at the U of A from 90-95, and a grad student from 97-02. So we probably passed each other on the mall once or twice!

And you never know -- I might have been your math TA at some point... ;-)

[wook77.livejournal.com]

if you were my math TA, then I would like to formally apologize for making your life hell. I'm really not stupid, I just can't do math. ;)

I'm now humming, it's a small world after all... it's a small small world!

I never did finish my degree (four majors in four years. I'm now on my fifth undergrad major at my third school). I've been everything from astronomy to marketing with stopovers in french, history and political science.
