threerings: Pastafarianism has its first martyr! Way to go, guys!
More seriously: you should read
rainbowjehan's short, moving account of Maundy Thursday.
Still on religion... there's a bit of interest in some sort of Doctor Who Pagan Witchy Mythology comm, but I don't think there's really enough for me to go ahead and litter LJ with yet another tiny, seldom-used community. (Although if anyone disagrees and wants to start one regardless, please go ahead!)

The book isn't very good, but it's made worse by the fact that it acknowledges the existence of the cursed Jew, forced to walk the world for eternity because of what he said to Christ as he was being taken to die on the cross. In other words, a horrid symbol of anti-semitism. IIRC, no-one made a fuss of the Wandering Jew's appearance in that book. Neither did I. And if I had, I think I would have been alone.
So now I see your point. I'll be honest I still find it hard to agree with you - but I appreciate where your coming from. I still think they're great villians, and very silly, but I can also see now how they might be percieved as insulting to someone who has a certain set of beliefs.
I just needed to say that.

Date: 2007-04-12 06:30 am (UTC)It wasn't as bad as his Unquiet Dead rant. Not even close. The problem with Larry is how he obscures his own arguments by mentioning that:
(a) he's a social inadequate;
(b) if you met him you probably wouldn't like him; and
(c) he's not a bi-sexual but he's sucked cock (which is not a direct quote but reasonably close).
So there you go.

Date: 2007-04-12 12:33 pm (UTC)b) He's never had much to say to me, but I think that's more in his own head. I think pointlessly angry people are kind of fun.
c) Well... I've known plenty of guys who apparently ARE bi-sexual but have never sucked cock, so I guess it's fine that it cuts both ways...

Showing that yes, there IS a difference between free speech and inflammatory misogynistic racial hate slurs.
