Default This pic hilights what annoyed me most about many church members and prop 8




I think that's exUte at the top of the wall, supporting prop 8 from SLC. BTW, I've never noticed the nice handrails on the stairs in this painting.

Yeah, I always got a chuckle out of the hand rails. What good is a huge city wall if you can get up to the top quickly and safely? What if the elevator is out of commission?

I saw that pic over on CB. You know what amazes me about CB is that the mods seem to have a hair trigger about religious posts, personal attacks, etc. but it is amazing how much homophobic crap they allow over there lately.

So, is that photoshopped version considered homophobic?

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

The mods actually let a lot of the personal attacks slide (I am exhibit A on that one), but you are right in that there seems to be a general approval of negative comments towards gays.

It has to be tough being a mod on CB.....the majority of posts violate one rule or another. it just isnt practical to ding every single person. Add to the fact that most of the mods find many of the same posters to be annoying. Remember, these are the guys that actually had the brains to ban Lingo, exie, and NorCal.

No, I was not talking about that. I was talking about a lot of the comments made in the last week or so.

And don't get me wrong. I don't really care that much about what goes on at CB. It has just been interesting lately.

Perhaps Samuel was an OSHA inspector, and in the picture he's proclaiming, "This walkway is NOT wheelchair accessible!"

[Cue SU for the observation that the Americas did not have the wheelchair until the Spaniards arrived]

I never noticed the handrails before either. Pretty funny. I guess despite their wickedness they had stringent building codes and inspectors.
