We've gone underground. <br /><br />I had a good buddy in high school who was hormonally messed up. He was built like a bowling pin, had a voice like a castrato, and carried his books like a girl. If a guy like that is queer (I never asked) or turns queer, I can kind of understand that. <br /><br />It doesn't explain a guy like Sam. I guarantee you he was molested, whether he'll admit or not. Let's bring out the whole truth of faggotry while we are at it.

I see from Pres. Faust's statement that the club agreed not to use any eucharistic host and to meet with Catholics to talk. What's the problem, then? The Lutherans don't transsubstantiate bread and wine; isn't their liturgy, from the RCC point of view, also a parody? Ditto the Anglican liturgy, since their priests aren't apostolic. Did the Catholics get as angry about Muslim prayer services, which are as heretical as they are stultifying?<br /><br />As an adult Catholic, I have a hard time reconciling my faith and my (for lack of a better word) libertarianism. If people are bent on becoming hellish, then there's only so much one can do. Even the apostles were exhorted to shake the dust from their sandals and leave.<br /><br />The Catholic diocese there could've said, for example, "sure, knock yourselves out. When you're ready for the real thing, come to us."Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987042455512485699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-78283160548951881722014-05-13T11:31:23.831-07:002014-05-13T11:31:23.831-07:00Hitler, Stalin and Mao were all pretty awesome com...Hitler, Stalin and Mao were all pretty awesome community organizers.

The school finally stepped up and decided that <a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/05/12/cardinal-sean-malley-expresses-disappointment-harvard-decision-allow-black-mass-campus/tUjYx2817C65LAHousRIeP/story.html?s_campaign=sm_tw" rel="nofollow">it wouldn't be allowed on campus</a>, but only after a <i>lot</i> of pushback. Their official statement before backing down stated that, "Nevertheless, consistent with the University’s commitment to free expression, including expression that may deeply offend us, the decision to proceed is and will remain theirs. " Which might almost be reasonable, except for their history with conservative speakers. Also, it's hard to imagine they'd have been so complacent about a scheduled KKK event, for instance. <br /><br />At the end of that article, a spokesperson for the Harvard Extension Club (& Satan's proselytizers, apparently), stated that, "many satanists are animal rights activists, vegetarians, and artists with a strong sense of community." Come to think of it, I'm sure many of Germany's Nazis could have described themselves in much the same way...juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-16799368582309507332014-05-13T10:53:29.728-07:002014-05-13T10:53:29.728-07:00Modern liberalism "isn’t about inclusiveness ...<a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2014/05/liberalism-and-the-nba-locker-room.php" rel="nofollow">Modern liberalism</a> "isn’t about inclusiveness or preventing people from being offended.
