Dan Savage vs. the Bible (and Some High Schoolers)

A couple weeks ago, Dan Savage, the sex columnist, activist, and editorial director of Seattle alt weekly The Stranger, was invited to speak at the National High School Journalism Convention in Seattle. Savage is the force behind the “It Gets Better” videos, a series of messages from gay adults — and, later, straight ones including President Obama — to bullied gay teens, which were intended to discourage suicide. Somewhat more mischievously, and less G-ratedly, he also led the charge to propagate a rather filthy sexual meaning for “Santorum” as punishment for Rick Santorum’s anti-gay politics.

In the course of his talk about bullying, Savage pointed out anti-gay activists sometimes cite the Bible to justify their beliefs and behavior. He then went on to point out that the Bible sanctions any number of activities we don’t allow today, including slavery and the stoning of women who are not virgins when married (the full text, if you don’t want to watch the video, ishere), strictures he referred to as “bullshit.” In protest, some (presumably) Christian members of the audience walked out. As he wrapped up the inflammatory section of his remarks, Savage apologized for offending anyone, but undercut that apology somewhat by adding, “It’s funny, as someone who’s on the receiving end of beatings that are justified by the Bible, how pansy-assed some people react when you push back.”

C’mon, Atlantic - grow a spine. If a conservative journalist had referred to a LGBTQ response to his inappropriate and inflammatory comments at a talk on bullying with “pansy-assed” you would be up in arms over the issue. Keep journalism neutral and quit pandering to the cultural bias.

William Lane Craig is literally my favorite person on the face of the earth.

“Two fallacious arguments put together don’t make a sound argument.” HAHAHAHA.

Bill Craig debated Atkins again recently and it was hands down one of the worst performances by an atheist in a debate on the existence of God that I’ve seen. He’s awful. Peter Millican did the best by far of any atheist I’ve seen who’s debated Craig.

I always watch this clip to hear the moderator say “put that in your pipe and smoke it”.

Who actually wrote the 4 Gospels of the New Testament in the Bible?
