I do remember Bill O'Reilly taking that line and running with it, though. It was apparently the most reasoned and logical statement he'd heard on the matter to date.
Good thing the guy used a box turtle as an example, then, and not, say, a falafel.

Oh my god! I must have that thumb drive!
I go back and forth on this -- not on the thinking homosexuality is wrong, but on subscribing to a religion that says so. Which I do
I might have this same problem if I was raised in a religion, but I was not, so any religion I find now, i feel like I would have to agree with it pretty fully or I would feel like a hypocrite.

I still want to know how anyone can figure out when a box turtle consents to a marriage.
When a mommy box turtle and a daddy bison love each other very much...

I think I've seen a picture of a turtle attempting to mate with a crash helmet, does that count? Or only if the love that dare not [turtle noise] itself is consumated?

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I have decided to have a birthday week this year, and it's working out wonderfully well.
I had other things I was going to say, but I got all caught up in the fascinating discussion of religion and morals and forgot most of them. Then I saw the picture of the shark and kayaker, and every other thought immediately left my head. I just love b.org!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think a birthday week is an excellent idea.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIBKITTY!!!!!!!

It's been so fun, getting together with different people each evening. Last night, about fifty people at my church's Wednesday night supper (at another church for now, natch) sang happy birthday to me. My face was so red!
Also, I'm really fortunate, because I have a co-worker with the same birthday, whose husband is a professional chef, and she brought in the best tiramisu ever. I didn't even like tiramisu before today. Yum!
Plus, I brought apples and croissants and brie for breakfast and make folks at work mochas. And I made little open-faced sandwiches for work at lunch of basil walnut bread, pesto, muenster cheese, and hothouse tomatoes. I'm just having so much fun today. And I'm actually getting some work done too!
