Reminds me of a joke from Nervermind the Buzzcocks on BBC2 this week:
Kelly Rowland up-ends a glass of water on the host, Simon Amstell, after mistaking a joke about Kelly Osbourne was directed at her!
The Power of Christ compells you!" Kelly shouted, seemingly convinced simon was possed by some wayward evil spirit.
Without missing a beat, Amstell swivels and in tones of shocked affrontry says quietly:
"I'm a Jew!"
Here you go: 8m:30s

I think I live with the anti-christ. He even makes Digital clocks lose time. They honestly go wrong, he's had several and they lose a few minutes over a week or two until they are no use whatsoever. apparently he's always been like this. Talk about trying to derail the second coming!

>>And you can change your sexual orientation, although it can take time and be a gradual process.<<
I haven't read the backlog beyond this point, I'm sure other people have done the decent thing and screamed at KZWG for his ignorance, but I couldn't pass it without saying something.
KZWG, you are a follower of a religion which forces you to repress yourself sexually for no good reason. Some Judean misanthropes decided sex was dirty and millennia later you're following their word unquestioningly. What on earth makes you think you're qualified to discuss normal, healthy sexual relations?
Either post some scientific research (and by scientific, I mean neutral, impartial, peer-reviewed and not generated by the voices in your head) that shows you can voluntarily change from gay to straight, or vice versa, or keep quiet.
Frak, just when we get rid of Della, a new religiously motivated homophobe comes up. It's like fighting a Hydra.
Jesus is coming back. Get ready.
HonestIago Posted Oct 20, 2008
Incidentally, KZWG never did answer my question as to why God needed to use him as an interlocuter, telling me to repent instead of doing it himself.
Seriously, if god can't be bothered to get off his fat arse and tell me to stop sinning himself, I'm not overly concerned about his smiting potential. The guy just can't commit.
Jesus is coming back. Get ready.

Hi WG
>if they only knew the truth about themselves in God's eyes they'd be aghast.
Thank goodness you are here to tell us God's opinions on the subject.
>And you can change your sexual orientation, although it can take time and be a gradual process.
It can also be painful and cause permanent emotional damage. So why would anyone want to? (Hint: starts with 'religious' and ends with 'persecution').
>the fragile sensitivities of the politically correct are of no concern to God. Read the book of Romans chapter 1.
Just as the fragile concerns of ethics and morality are of no concern to God. Read Deuteronomy 20.
>Notice the phrase, "those whose sin does not lead to death".
This implies that there is a distinction between different types of sin.
Now look at Leviticus 11:13-19 and notice the phrase "And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls [...] the bat."
This implies that a bat is a type of bird.
Seriously, you'd take your advanced socio-genetics from someone who doesn't know the difference between a bat and a bird?

Oh, I don't know.
After a little prayer, I'm feeling a little... y'know. (Personally, I blame 2legs.)

Well They'd be free to convert to whichever sexuality they wanted once ... I was finished with em I dunno all this talk of sex, I'd like to blame it for what I purchsed online not very many hours ago... yes, I blame Jesus for sex toys.

This item from Scientific American certainly caught my eye:
'The printers use a "dry" processing technique known as thermal dye transfer (as opposed to the traditional "wet" process of bathing exposed film in liquid chemicals). As the photographic paper scrolls past a print head, tiny resistors aligned in a row each heat up to specific temperatures, transferring minute amounts of yellow, magenta or cyan dye from a ribbon onto the paper. Together the dots form color pixels.
Larger machines in full-service stores also use processes such as electrophotography but typically for two-sided jobs such as printing custom greeting cards or calendars because the resolution is not as high as that created by the thermal approach. Today’s thermal machines take about eight seconds to complete a four-by-six-inch print—down from 60 seconds in 2003—but Christ says future kiosks will be even faster.
