Firstly, the Leviticus verse regarding homosexuality is completely irrelevant now, because Leviticus also says not to eat shellfish, trim your beard, wear clothes from two different kinds of cloth, or plant two different crops in the same field. I think we can safely agree that these things aren't immoral because of the New Covenant. If you don't know what that is, don't throw Bible verses around like you know what they mean.

In Romans 1:26-27 Paul is very specific about homosexuality. He clearly states that it's a sin.

HOWEVER, Romans 6:23 says that "the wages of sin is death." It's funny, because the Bible also tells us that all of us are sinners due to the fall of Adam and Eve (read Genesis again if you don't believe me), so what gives? I don't see everyone dying all around me.

For those of you who say that it's simply "death of the soul", consider these verses:
"Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them." -Romans 1:32

"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned" -Romans 5:12

"Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?" -Romans 6:16

But this last one makes it blindingly obvious:
"For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." -Galatians 6:8

So it's pretty clear that we're talking about physical death here.

Furthermore, even IF homosexuality is a sin, Paul equates it with other sins in this chapter, including, but not limited to, being disobedient to your parents, inventing new ways to be evil, and gossip. In other words, all sins are equal in God's eyes. Homosexuality is, therefore, no worse than yelling at your brother because he got on the computer and messed up your World of Warcraft game while you were taking a leak.

Not to mention something that Jesus once said:
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

It basically equates to mind your own business. Why do you care if other people sin? Condemning them for sinning is no better than sinning in the first place (because it's also a sin), so shut the fuck up.

Furthermore, just because "GOD DOESN'T LIKE IT LOL" doesn't mean that the government has to prohibit it. Here's an excerpt from the First Amendment, perhaps you've heard of it:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free action thereof."

Yeah, there's your separation of church and state. For those of you who claim, "WTF NOOB AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON CHRISTIANITY OMFG!!!!!!!1," chew on this:
"Christianity is not, and never was, a part of Common Law." -Thomas Jefferson

Furthermore, the Treaty of Tripoli clearly states in Article 11:
"As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

There. A clear admission from the United States government that it wasn't founded on Christianity, no matter what you think.

That means that any outdated quotes you can find from Abraham Lincoln are WRONG. We are NOT a Christian nation.

Looks like I'm right again.

If any of you care to join the debate on this topic, feel free to do so. I welcome new opponents/allies.

FUCK CENSORSHIP!

There's a dirty word there, and it's not the four-letter one.

Hey, DUMBASS. Not only is your argument completely unfounded, but it is totally hypocritical and demeaning to gamers all over the fucking world.

Nooooo, really?! I hadn't noticed! Thank you, Captain Obvious, for pointing out that I said something demeaning. Also, have you noticed that 2+2 tends to equal 4?

You have your opinion and I respect that, but to stereotype everyone who touches a ddr pad is rediculous. The view you have so shamelessly casted on every ddr player is the same image casted on gamers everywhere by the ignorant losers who barely know what a videogamer is. It sickens me that you could be so closed minded and SHALLOW.

You, sir or madam, are a fucking idiot. In case it isn't obvious, I never really mean any blanket statement I make. When I say that all DDR players are fat pimply-faced anime nerds, do you think I really mean that of ALL DDR players? No, but I look really fucking inarticulate if I say, "a few DDR players are fat anime nerds and they give the rest a bad name, which I will now point out in a hilarious fashion."

Please don't tell anyone YOU play videogames, it's embaressing to the rest of us. If you don't like people playing ddr in the arcades, who gives a rats ass?! Deal with it or leave!

Hey, lunkhead, that's right, I'm talking to you. I'm the one who has spent 12+ hours gaming nonstop, forsaking food, and only stopping because the pain in my eyes was unbearable. I have just as much of a right to be in the arcade making fun of the fat anime nerds playing DDR as the fat anime nerds do to be there in the first place. If you have a problem, I strongly suggest you take it to someone who cares and ask if they'll listen to your bitching, because nobody else is interested.

Oh, and by the way, while I'm at it, just what is wrong with speaking japanese?! It's a languege. Just because you learn a languege doesn't mean you turn into some old fat greasy guy whos never seen the sun in his life! It just means you have an education to some extent, which is something you appear to totally lack.

God, attack of the dolts! When did I ever say there was anything wrong with Japanese? Funny, I looked over my entire post and couldn't find anything saying Japanese was bad! In true fucknut fashion, you tell me that I appear to lack an education, when you are the one who's a total stranger to something that I and the rest of the people with an IQ greater than 3 like to call the "straw man fallacy." Look it up.

There is also nothing wrong with anime, unless you are one of those idiots who protests violent and sexual shows, which you don't appear to be, because you seem to like violent and gory games.

I'm sorry, you look like you were trying to make sense. Would you like to try that statement again?

To be so closed minded, superficial, hypocritical, and stereotype people for ONE INTEREST they have is like raping every gamer in the ass. You should be strung up and shot, or learn how to open your head and maybe let some fresh air in to wipe away the dust cobwebs on your brain, prick.

Speaking of people letting things into their heads, have you ever noticed that I tend to use bitter wit to convey a lot of my points? I call that "sarcasm," some people use "satire," and your kind usually uses "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE HE SAID THAT!" Either way, you really should have deduced that my DDR player stereotype was simply the application of heavy sarcasm. If stupid were people, you would be China.

oh yeah, and although my grammar sucks, my point should be clear. I have better things to do in my life than make sure my post is grammatically correct and free of typos for the likes of you

I've said this before and I'll say it again, I don't check my posts at all. Part of my education, something which you clearly seem to be lacking, is good spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and vocabulary. It means that when I call you a putz, I have an extra five minutes to clip my toenails while you're asking your mommy to help you look it up in the dictionary.

get a life, asshole.

I'd reply to this, but I'm too busy trying to regain the brain cells I lost reading your, um... argument.

Well bitches, I know I've gone longer than a week without updating before, but your hero T-zone is officially on hiatus until next Sunday.

This is because I'll be out in the middle of nowhere and can't update anyway, and I really can't be bothered to write angry rants for you to read while I'm busy enjoying myself.

Find another way to entertain yourself in my absence. I know, it's difficult. Don't worry, I have faith in you. My average reader is (hopefully) more intelligent than a peanut.

Love and kisses,
T-zone

Blogging the Fifth Nail is a blog owned by a registered sex offender. He has just recently been arrested on counts of child molestation and murder.

Isn't this what ECHELON is for?

For those of you unfamiliar with conspiracy theories, ECHELON is the largest intelligence-gathering network in history, run by UKUSA, an intelligence-gathering alliance of English-speaking nations. Obviously, the US, specifically the NSA, is a major player in this. It can intercept just about anything imaginable - hell, it's probably scanning this page right now for a list of spook words (which are included in my headers anyway just to flood their monitoring with spurious input).

I know, I know. How the fuck could that be true, right? How could the NSA possibly be reading my e-mail without me knowing it? You're shitting me, T-zone. This is another one of your fucking conspiracy theories.

Unfortunately, ECHELON is 100% real. The NSA reads your e-mail. They own root on all boxen, forever and ever, amen.

So how the FUCK could this slip past their guard? How could they NOT have a higher priority on this blog? HE FUCKING CONFESSED TO THE CRIMES BEFORE ANYONE KNEW ABOUT THEM! How could the LARGEST INTELLIGENCE-GATHERING NETWORK IN HISTORY miss that?!

More importantly, he asked for help before he committed the crimes. He never got it and his inner demons overcame him. If he had gotten help when he made a fucking public plea for it, this could have been prevented. A little boy and his mother would still be alive, and a girl would not have to go through life traumatized and minus one female parental unit.

I am in no way supporting what he did. I think he's a sick fuck and if I had my way, I'd be locked in a room with him and a large pipewrench (which, incidentally, is my LART of choice), then informed that the key is hidden inside his brain.

But goddammit, we need to be more careful about this sort of thing. People monitoring ECHELON input can read thousands of angst-filled Xangas that talk about how much they hate the country and include various references to assassinating Bush and bombing the White House, but they don't notice when a sex offender admits to a crime?

NSA, I know you're reading this. Update your fucking software. Have ECHELON keep tabs on sex offenders and people with criminal records, if you don't already. Hell, I'll write the code for you. Drop me a line. You know where I am.

I've posted this before, but I'm going to do it again:
Anyone who owns anything with the "anarchy symbol" on it loses 10 coolness points each time said symbol appears.

Or you could just be this dipshit, in which case, it doesn't matter how many anarchy symbols you have on your shit, you're still an asshole.

The first thing you see when you look at this fucktard's site is "Defy authority! Ignore society! Question reality!"

What kind of lame-ass wannabe-rebellious empty rhetoric bullshit is that? "Defy authority?" Why the fuck should I? I think the logical fallacy contained in that statement is outlined in the last two sentences, but just in case you missed it, I'll recap:

Someone is telling you to defy authority. Why the fuck should you listen to them, either? Just another authority. But if you defy it, it means that you're actually obeying authority, so you really get yourself stuck in an endless loop of trying to fit in with your anarchist friends by defying authority. Either way you go, you lose.

"Ignore society?" Do it because you want to, not because the anarcho-punk movement told you to.

I'm not even going to begin to explain why "question reality" is total bullshit.

Anarchy does not mean bloodshed or violence. A true anarchist seeks only peace for everyone, not this "MOLOTOV EVERYTHING" bullshit.

Henry David Thoreau and the Unabomber are two of the most badass anarchists I know.

Most are just posers.

Anarchy: know it, love it, stop making yourself look stupid by pretending to understand it.

Lately I have been radiating a deep sense of Universal love and a sickly sort of general happiness towards everything.

As such, my angry updates are postponed until further notice.

I am, however, buying a really really really fucking cool videophone with Bluetooth, so if I fuck around with wireless protocols for a bit, you might be able to expect videoblogging. :-)

Definitely more audioblogging though. Rock on.

Also, I have a slew of upcoming projects in the works. Keep in mind, nothing is definite yet:

• A bit on improvisational comedy for PBS.
• A culture-jamming project that's basically a bunch of people running around with cell phones documenting what it's actually like to be subjected to the public school system.
• Making videoblogging available to anyone with a videophone or some other way to wirelessly transmit videos.
• And of course, this.

The next month promises to be a very interesting one for me and those of you who enjoy reading my deranged shit. Stay tuned for leetness.
