<a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2000/om20000817.html' target='_blank'>A Palpable Hit</a> that is one freaky sign the woman is holding... it changes itself in every box... 1st box: "Gays are Bad" 2nd box: "Down With Gays" 3rd box: "Gays = Bad" (or something like that since it's partly cut off....)

City of Sodom was burned due to gluttony, not homosexuality. If homosexuality was that bad, it'd be a deadly sin, no? As for the sign? It's one of those signs where, when held at a different angle says something else.

i always assumed it to be a sort of an egg like the Chalkboard alphabet in the spelling bee story that suddenly goes from Z-A and then to Chinese.

It never said Homosexuality WAS the sin, just part of the sin. The largest of these sins was rape, though, not homosexuality. We're talking people with over 100 regular sexual partners. This is far worse than anything in the US. In fact, when archiologests found those two cities, they found that the bones of 99% of the population showed signs of extremely advanced stage STDs, that would not have occured by any other means. This is why I say that the homosexuality banned in the bible, is not the homosexuality that takes place today. A large number of rules in the bible have to do with containment of disease, which considering the time, was a major concern. The Jewish people were the strictest in the world on this. Frankly, even Jesus said the rules were too strict. In fact, many of the rules of overly strict sexual conduct were posibly to control disease. Many things have changed since then, for example, the widespread availability of soap. People were asked not to shave, or even cut their hair shorter than a certain legnth as they could cut themselves. There were huge numbers of quite rediculous rules. While I do believe in monogomy I have trouble pushing that onto others so long as they aren't to the point that it is a severe problem, and I have trouble seeing how homosexual monogomy is any different than heterosexual monogomy. I am not God, I can't make these decisions. Nobody on this earth is inocent from all sins. How can Bush go around condeming homosexuals, when he's comanded the torture of Iraqi civilians because they might know something about some of the rebel camps. Even if homosexuality is a sin, torture is a far worse sin, and that would only make Bush a hypocrite. I hope I didn't offend anyone in making my point, but I felt my full opinion had to be said.

Ummm....guys, I made this to talk about the changing board the lady was holding, not about what happened thousands of years ago... <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' />( and I think we've tied the record for going off-topic...on just the second post too!)

BTW, two posts to completely change the topic, one of them starting the change is a pretty quick change of topic. Anyways. it was sometime between 3000 and 4000 years ago, actually. A thousand years ago would have been the time of the Renesance, not the time of Abraham. *Gets wapped with a roton watermelloon with "Stay on topic" writen in bold letters* Also, it could be based on the fact that the protestors are progressively moving from judging the actions, to judging the people.

The changing-sign thing might be a tribute to FoxTrot's abundant Easter eggs, but one can't be sure since there's never been any indication that Simpson even reads FoxTrot. ...funny as it is. And I know I'm just asking for trouble, but Ruedii, who told you the Abu Ghraib torture was specifically ordered by Bush? I've heard that stuff before and it sounded like it was just something people were saying to make him sound worse that he really was. But I'm not particularly well-informed; it could be true for all I know. And finally, where is the Easter egg in the Spelling Bee story?

There's no logical explanation for why the sign changes, unless someone hands her a different sign between panels, but that's just ridicolous. Though some might say it's not, in attempts to bring logic to the illogical. And Ruedii, what was that about the Renaissance being about a thousand years ago? That would make it around 1000 AD wouldn't it?

My teacher overreacted and had me sent to be checked if I had epilepsy. I was just zoned out trying to remember how to spell the word. Of course, I WON the spelling bee, and went on to the later rouds of the school wide. I'm glad I didn't win the school-wide one, because then I'd have to put up with going to district wide. (UHHG!)
