Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

If you can get through this part you're home free. That's the test. They see who's hands can raise the spirit. If a man raises the spirit, they put a stake through your heart. If a women raises it, they sing hymns while you drill her. Good luck!
That has got to be one of the funniest things i've ever read here at Apolyton

I originally read "gayity" as gravity, which made for a far more interesting statement. I began to speculate just how one might be cohersed out of gravity. The whole idea suggests we've all been tricked into gravity in the first place... now if we could only untrick ourselves. Hmmm... Something to think about anyway.Originally posted by faded glory
well...people have been cured/cohersed from/out of gayityComment

The thing is, people who are telekinetic don't have any supernatural powers. They're just people who have understood "Do not try to fight against gravity. Merely realize the truth: there is no gravity."Originally posted by WhiteElephants

Hi Evan! It's me. Concern has been expressed recently over whether this really is you, especially since you haven't been on ICQ recently-- and your writing style seems a little off. Someone said your friends may have stolen your ACS account. Given our previous discussions on religion, your post especially seems off. To help dispel these concerns, can you please your check ICQ history and check what message you sent me on August 5, 2001 at 7:43 PM. Thanks.Last edited by Shi Huangdi; February 8, 2002, 22:21."I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer

Nice trollMy girlfriend Nancy knows all about my past. She says her church has retreats where they can cure you of homoism. Its a sickness and it can be cured. I'm so happy
She said they usesomething called aversion therapy and electordes and such. Its all supervised by a Christian doctor and there's lots and lots of praying and laying on of hands and casting out. Plus walks in the woods and singing hyms. Sounds like fun They hold it up in the mountains at a secret holy place they have.
Really I'm a bit scared but Nancy says I have to do it. I'd do anything for her.

Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Homosexuality cannot be cured. What can happen, is that they convince you that you are no longer gay and to stop "acting" gay. However, you are still attracted to the same sex deep down and are really only truely happy boinking your own.
There is an extremely high rate of recidivism for the "cured." Sadly, it's these *sshole anti-gay Christians who are largely responsible for the unhappiness that many gay people feel. Then they turn around and hold out the love and accceptance that has gone missing from these gay people's lives (which is a very necessary part of human existence).
They're like abusive parents, withholding approval and love inexchange for proper behavior.
I sometimes wish Christianity were the true religion, so I could laugh at all these evil people's faces as they are pitched into the pits of Hell.

Wasn't there a thread on Community about why the mods are so mean? I think this is proof of the inherent cruelty of the mods.
They let EvC out of his cage early.

OH shut the hell up Che with your Anti-Christian Troll
The reason gay people feel unwanted is because there just normal. Say what the **** you want...we all have our prejudice. Tell me you dont have an urge stare at people in wheel chairs? So stop trolling. Get serouis man...
You can blame the rigid social structure in your local high-school for being so cruel. ****......when there was a gay kid found at school. His back pack would get stolen, he would get jumped in the B-Room. His tires slashed, laughed at, mailbox bashed...I could go on. And this was in New York Mind you. (Longwood HS!)
And the **** still goes on.Comment

I agree with chegitz's assessment. And as a Christian myself, I didn't take his remarks as an anti-Christian troll at all. Fundies are very anti-gay, that's true, but then they're not really Christians either. Because part of being Christian is accepting that man and woman are made equally in the image of God and are therefore entitled to that respect. Gay or not, there is a sacred quality to each and every human life. You don't get to treat a certain class of persons as sub-human just because you don't approve of their choice of sexual partner. If a person is harming the community, then certainly the government has the right to restrain them. But even then you still have to treat that person as a human being and not like cattle.
Now given the opportunity, I think many gays would wish to get married. I believe they would benefit from the longevity and stability that form of relationship has the potential to provide. Part of the reason for the unhappiness of many gays may be that they are unable to achieve the same quality of relationship as heterosexuals. The recognition of gay marriage would at least give them the opportunity to try.
That said, I attach several posts I contributed to the Gay Marriage in Germany thread last August, outlining my principled defense of gay marriage. I saved them in Word 2000 format. I'd be more than happy to convert them to something else if anyone is unable to view them."People sit in chairs!" - Bobby BaccalieriComment
