She alleges that procreation is primary, but if she's a spiritual being, why bother? Circling the Sun a few times is nothing compared to an eternity of cuddling on Jesus's lap. If one possesses an eternal soul, must there be a mortal repository for that soul? Nothing in the Bible suggests that and logic suggests otherwise. Therefore, morality is a pittance of time and less than a pittance of immortal importance.

I've only met two people for whom God was something more than a Sky Fairy. For most people, the Sky Fairy is an excuse to hate someone, like homosexual people, or to manifest superiority by legislating inequality.

Now, if Verses were arguing from a secular perspective, procreation isn't life. It's death. We're a swarm of locusts. What we don't need is more of us. We need to figure a way to temper the gluttony of procreation.

Westboro Baptist must be holding evening services.

That's snarky, of course, but why would anyone agree with those Westboro Baptist folks? Or the Klan? Or the Nazis?

Wow.

His spiritual leader lives in the world's greatest palace, with a whole wing filled with pilfered pagan art. And its greatest icons were created by gay guys: the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the Pieta, and the Last Supper. That's one twisted church even before you factor in its history of murder, torture, and various perversions.

As for Verses, if he's ever touched his dick for the purpose of pleasure, he's gay.

I'm living small and I'm proud of it.

I'm also urging friends and family to reduce debt.

And I'm also thinking of moving more money into the stock market. As Warren Buffett says, buy when others are selling.

Sure, call me an anti-Catholic bigot, but that won't distract from this fact: you fondle your dick! You like dick! Me too. So does Mr. Greenwald! We're all in the Dick-Lovin' Club.

Anti-Catholic bigot? No.

Catholic critic? Yes.

Have you no understanding of your church's history? Don't you know how evil many of your popes have been? What your church has done in the name of Jesus? How your church embraces the wealth that Jesus rejects? How your church protected pedophiles to protect property? Your current pope doesn't even try to hide his lust for pretty, pretty things. But, hey, at least your church apologized to Galileo a few years back! Makes ya proud, doesn't it?

Now, your dick awaits you! As you grab it with pleasure, remember how very gay that makes you!

She's one of Salon's best.

Know your betters, young man.

So, shhh.

Listen to her.

Learn.

And, hey, let's talk about your sins, Verses. I'll love you, but hate them. Tell me what they are and I'll fix them in the crosshairs of my righteous rage.

How can Verses even post? To do so, he owns a computer and an Internet connection. Jesus said to foresake family, give all one has to the poor, and serve Him. Yet, Verses clings to his computer and likely clings to other pretty, pretty things. He refuses Jesus.

Because.

he.

doesn't.

believe.

in.

Jesus.

So very few do.

I bet she's having the time of her life, other than high school, of course.

Boston barely beat Cleveland.

The Lakes win it all.

I've told you so many times: Get thee to Iraqi!

Freedom is on the march! You don't want it to march off without you, do you?

And hair plugs? That's the best you've got? Palin tells a narrative of Carhartt and moose killin'. When she wears Needless Markup and makes a killin' on the RNC credit card, that's newsworthy. It reveals her to be as disingenuous as you, which is deeply creepy.

Your post is my all-time favorite. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Salon shouldn't hire you. The staff of Salon should coronate you.

I think the reason that Ms. Walsh and many women perseverate on Palin is because, given the long, uninterrupted line of pink men in the presidency *, we want a woman who's, with a nod to the old racial notion, a credit to our gender. We only get so many chances and this has been squandered on Bible Spice, who's a sopping sack of bile and bombast.

* I don't care if we're called white. Most of us white folks are pink.

I've also noticed how pleased she seems when she's not treated someone the way she'd like to be treated. I'm guessing she's never read the Golden Rule or heard of Jesus.

Calling a woman a "bitch" isn't sexist.

If it were, then calling a man a "prick" would be sexist.

Saying that most women or all women are bitches is sexist.

Likewise, asserted that most or all men are pricks is sexist.

Well written! However, don't expect a full standing ovation from all the posters at Salon. Now, I'm standing and applauding you, but any article that mentions homosexuality attracts the morality pervs, those people who insist on sniffing other people's crotches and assuring you that God wants their noses in your crotch, in your bedroom, in your relationship, and at the deathbed of your beloved.

My mom remarried in her fifties. Can you please donate some money to me? You see, I want to pass Proposition 9, which will render all marriages of infertile couples null. At the very least, can you please send her an email informing her that tradition demands she divorce?

...and an ineffectual legislator. She's also an especially nasty alleged christian.
