I've been reading through the Slacktivist's deconstruction of the Left Behind book for the past week (it's very long, he's been writing weekly on it for the past 4 years) so it's enlightened me a lot about the wrong-headed theology/mindset that goes into people like Dobson and LaHaye.

That little bat is adorable.
I have 15 minutes where Noah is entertaining himself. Instead of cleaning, as I desperately need to do, I'm just sitting on the couch.
I have never been so tired.

Me too! I just finished reading all his Left Behind posts yesterday. It's an absolutely brilliant, spot-on deconstruction of the theology/soteriology, as well as lambasting the execrable writing.

Dobson and his ilk make me want to puke all over their shoes.
That would be a waste of vomit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
soteriology
Ooh. New word! (for me)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I guess it's not the study of Soterios Johnson, huh?

Always Anti-fascist!
And what about straight men and parental contention?(not that I'm expecting to find logic in this bullshit) but it seems to me that a lot of young guys get competitive with their fathers...

He lobbied to have the definition changed to that ("The study of *me*! Sweet!"), but the OED laughed at him.

I'm also amazed at how completely gay women are being ignored in this debate.
But then Queen Victoria set that precedent, I suppose.

Also, the Bible mentions male homosexuality five times, but doesn't mention lesbianism at all.
