Yawn

Going home for the weekend really cut into my study time. 1 a.m. the last two nights has found me doing my Latin homework. I am hoping to reverse the trend.

1 a.m. tonight should find me studying osteology instead.

There were a couple guys holding court on campus today; they had signs with religious quotes, and one of them was preaching loudly about the sin of homosexuality. They attracted a large crowd, but if there were any supporters, they were a silent minority. This county is one of the most heavily Democratic counties in America, and there is a large gay and lesbian community in town. So the guys weren't making many friends with their display.

It amazes me that supposedly Christian men have the presumption to judge others on behalf of God. If anyone is going to do the judging, let it be Him. Worry about your own soul in the meantime. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I didn't come up with that one. JC did.

I'm not supporting the guys holding court. I for one could care less about who sleeps with whom, especially when no one is asking my opinion about the matter. Still, funny how that part about "go and sin no more" always seems to get truncated out of the context of "Let he who is without sin ..." I'm prety sure that was JC who said that, too. I am not usually in the business of judging, at least I try not to be, but this systematic theology stuff can get kinda hairy if you're going to play Bible hopscotch and only pick up on the stuff you like.

By the way, why on earth are you studying osteology?

Ah, so I have to uphold a higher standard than the ones who pick out what *they* like? Fair enough, since I take the whole book with a giant grain of salt anyway.

Osteology--part of the forensics class I've mentioned.

There ya go ... just so long as you're consistent! ;)

I bet the assembled crowd was silent because they were afraid the radical Christians were going to start beheading gay people. According to Rosie, that is.
