Praise the Lord

No, I'm not on drugs again. I'm just feeling all religiousy today and I do love this song. All you heathens can go to hell if you don't like it.

Although I really can't imagine how even an atheist's godless heart might not be inspired by this ... at least a little bit. I could be wrong.

The song is also so appropriate to my own goings on right now, I figured why the heck not share with the people? Hallelujah everyone!

    I love it! My mother is a southern baptist and I grew up listening to gospel music. I'll send you some of my favorite songs.

    I got an email from a devout atheist friend of mine, and apparently I was mistaken; they're not so easily inspired after all. This did nothing for her whatsoever. My bad for presuming, but whatever. I still like it anyway, but I also like it that she didn't. She's coolness.

    And thanks to Rain for being the sole commenter on my God post. Fuckin' A there, I really didn't expect anything. Still haven't gotten the songs, though.

    I appreciate moving songs/music...don't have to believe in the God involved. People wish all gays were atheists, would make their cleansing job so much easier.

    You're very welcome Doug! I'll take goodness in any shape or form. I'm not ashamed to admit that yes I'm a liberal and yes I believe in God.

    I'm liberal to an extreme, gay to the max, and still seem to get along just fine with God & Son. Diane is right, the cleansing would be much easier for some if only! And yep, Rain, like you, goodness in any shape or form. Hell, this song is completely Christian I know, I on the other hand have a broader personal spiritual thing not so pigeonholed, but do love Christian music. Alongside some dirty songs, too, of course.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Just Do It

Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch . It's really little wonder that much of the queer community reacted approvingly, but also with a fair amount of skepticism, the other night after hearing him vow again to do what he vowed once before with nothing gotten done so far. This DADT thing, I wouldn't think, should be such a big ordeal to get over and done with in short order. Even military p...

Hung on the Cross

So what, I'm not very mature for my age. I don't care, I'm easily amused because of it, and I enjoy being amused. Like this picture of a crucifix which was hoisted a couple of months ago above the main altar at the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic church in Oklahoma: I can come up with lots of hilariously inappropriate captions here, some that even I am embarrassed to admit thinking up, despite my unabashed crudity. I would share but probably everyone else is too sophisticated to see the humor. Plus, I really don't want to go to Hell. I'm guessing that there are an awful lot of Okie parishioners down there at the church where this is hung for real, who I reckon wouldn't appreciate my sense of humor about it, either. They are, in general, hugely offended by it instead, because they see nothing funny whatsoever about displaying Jesus' ginormous penis in church, not in the least bit! Seems as though this has caused quite a "deep divide" among members o...
